[]() //! []() //! []() //! []() //! []() //! //! ## Html templating //! //! In the past I wrote html inside Rust code with the macro `html!` from the `crate typed-html` //! <https://github.com/bodil/typed-html> //! It has also a macro `dodrio !` created exclusively for the dodrio vdom. //! I had two main problems with this approach: //! //! 1. Any change to the html required a recompiling. And that is very slow in Rust. //! 2. I could not add new html elements, that the macro don't recognize. I wanted to use SVG. There was not support for that. //! //! I reinvented the wheel - "html templating". //! First a graphical designer makes a html/css page that looks nice. No javascript, nothing is dynamic. It is just a graphical template. //! Then I insert in it html comments and "data-" attributes that I can later replace in my code. //! The html is not changed graphically because of it. So both the graphical designer and the programmer are still happy. //! In my code I parse the html template as a microXml file. Basically they are the same with small effort. When I find a comment or "data-" attribute then the value of the next node is replaced. //! I can replace attributes, strings and entire nodes. And I can insert event for behavior with "data-wt". //! When developing, the html template is loaded and parsed and a dodrio node is created. That is not very fast. But I can change the html in real time and see it rendered without compiling the Rust code. This is super efficient for development. //! I have in plans to add a Rust code generator, that creates the Rust code for the dodrio node before compile time. In that case nothing is parsed in runtime and I expect great speeds. But the flexibility of easily changing the html template is gone. For every change I must recompile the Rust code. //! //! ## cargo crev reviews and advisory //! //! It is recommended to always use [cargo-crev](https://github.com/crev-dev/cargo-crev) //! to verify the trustworthiness of each of your dependencies. //! Please, spread this info. //! On the web use this url to read crate reviews.
