Struct HtmlConstructor 

pub struct HtmlConstructor;

Html Constructor

Loads a html file and constructs it for dynamic web loading

For example, when loading a template, you can pass through variables in a vec to implement them in your page

You can use this for things like user info or other server side information

Alternatively you could create a static page with JavaScript that loads this information from a webapi route on the same server.

Dynamic variables are defined as [ var_name ] in HTML, and just var_name in the Vars hashmap

Here is an example:

<p>[ test_var ]</p>

let mut vars = Vars::new();
vars.insert("test_var".to_string(), Variable::String("Test".to_string()));

This example shows a basic example of how the HTML code matches to Rust.

Please note that if there is no variable defined in the hashmap, it will not update with any dynamic values, and remain static. If the variable in the hashmap doesn’t find the variable in the HTML, nothing will happen there as well.

Implementations

impl HtmlConstructor

pub async fn construct_page( response_code: Response, path: &str, vars: Vars, ) -> String

Construct Page

Takes in a file path (to the HTML file) and a Vars type.

Constructs the HTML page, returning a string value (also assigns all dynamic variables if any)
