Could you elaborate on how this is better/different from blaze-html? I'm a bit confused - is it just the same thing but works with Haste, while blaze-html doesn't? What's the main idea? Thanks! Andrew On Wed, Jun 18, 2014 at 7:02 AM, Alberto G. Corona <agocorona@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi,
haste-perch defines builder elements (perchs) for Haste.DOM elements that are appendable, so that dynamic HTML can be created in the client in a natural way, like textual HTML, but programmatically and with the advantage of static type checking. It can be ported to other haskell-js compilers.
http://hackage.haskell.org/package/haste-perch
This program, when compiled with haste:
main= do withElem "idelem" $ build $ do div $ do div $ do p "hello" p ! atr "style" "color:red" $ "world"
return ()
Creates these element:
<div id= "idelem"> <-- was already in the HTML <div> <div> <p> hello </p> <p style= "color:red"> world </p> </div> </div> </div>
Since the creation is in the browser, that permit quite dynamic pages for data presentation, and interctive textual (a.k.a "serious") applications and, in general the development of client-side web frameworks using haskell with the haste compiler.
