Re: [web-devel] Re: [Haskell-cafe] Google Summer of Code: BlazeHTML RFC

Blaze HTML looks wonderful to me (especially with the do notation), and better then Hamlet for one reason: writing idiomatic haskell for stuff like this: ul $ forM_ [1, 2, 3] (li . string . show) instead of the Hamlet style: %ul $forall children.person child %li $child$ which, i don't know, for some reason, made me feel like i was back in PHP land. -matt The problem i have with Hamlet is the "forAll x xs" stuff On Thu, May 27, 2010 at 7:08 AM, Alberto G.

As a user, I have too many HTML generators, a few of them with Ajax and none with server-side event handling (like ASPX or JSPX). Ajax is complicated but server side event handling is what I really miss because it is simple from the user point of view, my ervents could be handled in haskell code rather than in javaScript and I implicitly could use the advantages of dinamic HTML and Ajax without the need to know them at all.

Imagine a dynamic Web application with 100% haskell code made with dynamic widgets created by third party developers.

So, anyone want to create a HTML templating system with server side event handling? It is not terribly hard to do. (I refer to ASP.NET documentation or the JavaServer Faces framework).

By the way, I vote for XML templating or else, combinator templating that produce XHML templating because it can be handled by a future graphical IDE.

Hey Bas,

...

How about also providing an enumerator back-end?

http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/iteratee/0.3.5/doc/html/Data-Ite...

...

Then your library can integrate more easily with the snap framework: http://snapframework.com

Sure, I can do that. But I already tested integration with the snap framework, the best path here seems to call the `writeLBS` function from the snap framework on the `L.ByteString` that BlazeHtml produces (`writeLBS` internally uses an enumerator).

Kind regards, Jasper Van der Jeugt

Q14: Do you see any problems with respect to integrating BlazeHtml in your favourite web-framework/server?
