(require '[dev.onionpancakes.chassis.core :as c])

(defn my-post
  [post]
  [:div {:id (:id post)}
   [:h2.title (:title post)]
   [:p.content (:content post)]])

  [c/doctype-html5 ; Raw string for <!DOCTYPE html>
   [:html
    [:head
     [:link {:href "/css/styles.css" :rel "stylesheet"}]
     [:title "My Blog"]]

     [:h1 "My Blog"]
      (for [p (:posts data)]
        (my-post p))]]])

(let [data {:posts [{:id "1" :title "foo" :content "bar"}]}]
  (c/html (my-blog data)))

;; "<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><link href=\"/css/styles.css\" rel=\"stylesheet\"><title>My Blog</title></head><body><h1>My Blog</h1><div id=\"1\"><h2 class=\"title\">foo</h2><p class=\"content\">bar</p></div></body></html>"

Compiled HTML Serialization

(require '[dev.onionpancakes.chassis.core :as c])
(require '[dev.onionpancakes.chassis.compiler :as cc])

(defn my-post-compiled
  [post]
  (cc/compile
    [:div {:id (:id post)}
     [:h2.title (:title post)]
     [:p.content (:content post)]]))

(defn my-blog-compiled
  [data]
  (cc/compile
    [c/doctype-html5 ; Raw string for <!DOCTYPE html>
     [:html
      [:head
       [:link {:href "/css/styles.css" :rel "stylesheet"}]
       [:title "My Blog"]]
      [:body
       [:h1 "My Blog"]
        (for [p (:posts data)]
          (my-post-compiled p))]]]))

(let [data {:posts [{:id "1" :title "foo" :content "bar"}]}]
  (c/html (my-blog-compiled data)))

;; "<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><link href=\"/css/styles.css\" rel=\"stylesheet\"><title>My Blog</title></head><body><h1>My Blog</h1><div id=\"1\"><h2 class=\"title\">foo</h2><p class=\"content\">bar</p></div></body></html>"

Usage

Require the namespace.

(require '[dev.onionpancakes.chassis.core :as c])

Elements

Use c/html function to generate HTML strings from vectors.

Vectors with global keywords in the head position are treated as normal HTML elements. The keyword's name is used as the element's tag name.

(c/html [:div "foo"])

;; "<div>foo</div>"

Maps in the second position are treated as attributes. Use global keywords to name attribute keys.

(c/html [:div {:id "my-id"} "foo"])

;; "<div id=\"my-id\">foo</div>"

;; Strings also accepted, but discouraged.
;; Use when keywords cannot encode the desired attribute name.
(c/html [:div {"id" "my-id"} "foo"])

;; "<div id=\"my-id\">foo</div>"

The rest of the vector is treated as the element's content. They may be of any type including other elements. Sequences, eductions, and non-element vectors are logically flattened with the rest of the content.

(c/html [:div {:id "my-id"}
         "foo"
         (for [i (range 3)] i)
         "bar"])

;; "<div id=\"my-id\">foo012bar</div>"

Id and Class Sugar

Like Hiccup, id and class attributes can be specified along with the tag name using css style # and . syntax.

(c/html [:div#my-id.my-class "foo"])

;; "<div id=\"my-id\" class=\"my-class\">foo</div>"

;; Multiple '.' classes concatenates
(c/html [:div.my-class-1.my-class-2 "foo"])

;; "<div class=\"my-class-1 my-class-2\">foo</div>"

;; '.' classes concatenates with :class keyword
(c/html [:div.my-class-1 {:class "my-class-2"} "foo"])

;; "<div class=\"my-class-1 my-class-2\">foo</div>"

;; First '#' determines the id.
;; Extra '#' are uninterpreted.
(c/html [:div## "foo"])

;; "<div id=\"#\">foo</div>"

(c/html [:div#my-id.my-class-1#not-id "foo"])

;; "<div id=\"my-id\" class=\"my-class-1#not-id\">foo</div>"

However there are differences from Hiccup.

;; '#' id takes precedence over :id keyword
(c/html [:div#my-id {:id "not-my-id"} "foo"])

;; "<div id=\"my-id\">foo</div>"

;; '#' id can be place anywhere
(c/html [:div.my-class-1#my-id "foo"])

;; "<div id=\"my-id\" class=\"my-class-1\">foo</div>"

;; '#' id can be place in-between, but don't do this.
;; It will be slightly slower.
(c/html [:div.my-class-1#my-id.my-class-2 "foo"])

;; "<div id=\"my-id\" class=\"my-class-1 my-class-2\">foo</div>"

Boolean Attributes

Use true/false to toggle boolean attributes.

(c/html [:button {:disabled true} "Submit"])

;; "<button disabled>Submit</button>"

(c/html [:button {:disabled false} "Submit"])

;; "<button>Submit</button>"

Composite Attribute Values

Collections of attribute values are concatenated as spaced strings.

(c/html [:div {:class ["foo" "bar"]}])

;; "<div class=\"foo bar\"></div>"

(c/html [:div {:class #{:foo :bar}}])

;; "<div class=\"bar foo\"></div>"

Maps of attribute values are concatenated as style strings.

(c/html [:div {:style {:color  :red
                       :border "1px solid black"}}])

;; "<div style=\"color: red; border: 1px solid black;\"></div>"

Attribute collections and maps arbitrarily nest.

(c/html [:div {:style {:color  :red
                       :border [:1px :solid :black]}}])

;; "<div style=\"color: red; border: 1px solid black;\"></div>"

Write to Appendable

Avoid intermediate allocation by writing directly to java.lang.Appendable using the c/write-html function.

However, java.lang.StringBuilder is highly optimized and it may be faster to write to it (and then write the string out) than to write to the Appendable directly. Performance testing is advised.

(let [out (get-appendable-from-somewhere)]
  (c/write-html out [:div "foo"]))

Escapes

Text and attribute values are escaped by default.

(c/html [:div "& < >"])

;; "<div>&amp; &lt; &gt;</div>"

(c/html [:div {:foo "& < > \" '"}])

;; "<div foo=\"&amp; &lt; &gt; &quot; &apos;\"></div>"

Escaping can be disabled locally by wrapping string values with c/raw.

(c/html [:div (c/raw "<p>foo</p>")])

;; "<div><p>foo</p></div>"

Escaping can be disabled globally by altering vars. Change c/escape-text-fragment and c/escape-attribute-value-fragment to identity function to allow fragment values to pass through unescaped.

Then use c/escape-text and c/escape-attribute-value to escape locally.

(alter-var-root #'c/escape-text-fragment (constantly identity))
(alter-var-root #'c/escape-attribute-value-fragment (constantly identity))

(c/html [:div "<p>foo</p>"])

;; "<div><p>foo</p></div>"

(c/html [:div (c/escape-text "foo & bar")])

;; "<div>foo &amp; bar</div>"

Vetted Unescaped Types

For performance, java.lang.Number and java.util.UUID are not escaped by default.

Tags and Attribute Keys Are Not Escaped!

Element tags and attribute keys are not escaped. Be careful when placing dangerous text in these positions.

;; uhoh
(c/html [:<> "This is bad!"])

;; "<<>>This is bad!</<>>"

(c/html [:div {:<> "This is bad!"}])

;; "<div <>=\"This is bad!\"></div>"

Non-Element Vectors

Only vectors beginning with keywords are interpreted as elements. Vectors can set their metadata {::c/content true} to avoid being interpreted as elements, even if they begin with keywords.

;; Not elements
(c/html [0 1 2])                  ; => "012"
(c/html ["foo" "bar"])            ; => "foobar"
(c/html ^::c/content [:foo :bar]) ; => "foobar"

;; Use this to generate fragments of elements
(c/html [[:div "foo"]
         [:div "bar"]]) ; "<div>foo</div><div>bar</div>"

Non-Attribute Keys

Only global keywords and strings are interpreted as attribute keys. Everything else is ignored.

(c/html [:div {:foo/bar "not here!"}])

;; "<div></div>"

Alias Elements

Alias elements are user defined elements. They resolve to other elements through the c/resolve-alias multimethod. They must begin with namespaced keywords.

Define alias elements by extending c/resolve-alias multimethod on a namespaced keyword. It accepts the following 3 arguments of types:

  1. Tag keyword. Used for the dispatch.
  2. Attributes map or nil if attrs is absent.
  3. Content vector, possibly empty if no content.

When implementing aliases, consider the following points:

  • Because namespaced keywords are ignored as attributes, they can be used as arguments for alias elements.

  • The attributes map will contain #id and .class merged from the element tag. By placing the alias element's attribute map as the attribute map of a resolved element, the attributes transfers seamlessly between the two.

  • The content vector has metadata {::c/content true} to avoid being interpreted as an element.

;; Capitalized name optional, just to make it distinctive.
(defmethod c/resolve-alias ::Layout
  [_ {:layout/keys [title] :as attrs} content]
  [:div.layout attrs ; Merge attributes
   [:h1 title]
   [:main content]
   [:footer "Some footer message."]])

(c/html [::Layout#blog.dark {:layout/title "My title!"}
         [:p "My content!"]])

;; "<div id=\"blog\" class=\"layout dark\"><h1>My title!</h1><main><p>My content!</p></main><footer>Some footer message.</footer></div>"

Stateful Values

Instances of clojure.lang.IDeref and clojure.lang.Fn are automatically dereferenced at serialization. Functions are invoked on their zero argument arity.

Whether or not if this is a good idea is left to the user.

(defn current-year []
  (.getValue (java.time.Year/now)))

(c/html [:footer "My Company Inc " current-year])

;; "<footer>My Company Inc 2024</footer>"

(def delayed-thing
  (delay "delayed"))

(c/html [:div {:foo delayed-thing}])

;; "<div foo=\"delayed\"></div>"

They can even deference into other elements.

(defn get-children []
  [:p "Child element"])

(c/html [:div.parent get-children])

;; "<div class=\"parent\"><p>Child element</p></div>"

Token and HTML Serializers

Use c/token-serializer and c/html-serializer to access individual tokens and fragment instances. The underlying type implements clojure.lang.IReduceInit and is intended to be used in a reduce.

(->> (c/token-serializer [:div "foo"])
     (eduction (map type))
     (vec))

;; [dev.onionpancakes.chassis.core.OpeningTag
;;  java.lang.String
;;  dev.onionpancakes.chassis.core.ClosingTag]

(->> (c/html-serializer [:div "foo"])
     (vec))

;; ["<div>" "foo" "</div>"]

RawString Constants

DOCTYPE

Use c/doctype-html5, a RawString wrapping <!DOCTYPE html>. Because it is a RawString, it is safe to wrap in a vector to concatenate with the rest of the HTML document.

(c/html [c/doctype-html5 [:html "..."]])

;; "<!DOCTYPE html><html>...</html>"

&nbsp;

Use the c/nbsp constant.

(c/html [:div "foo" c/nbsp "bar"])

;; "<div>foo&nbsp;bar</div>"

Compiling Elements

Require the namespace.

(require '[dev.onionpancakes.chassis.compiler :as cc])

Compile Examples

Slap a cc/compile wherever speed is needed! Then call c/html like normal to generate HTML.

;; In defs
(def global-element
  (cc/compile [:div "foo"]))

;; In defns
(defn fn-element
  [arg]
  (cc/compile [:div "foo" arg "bar"]))

;; In aliases
(defmethod c/resolve-alias ::MyElement
  [_ attrs content]
  (cc/compile
    [:div
     [:p attrs content]]))

;; In fn args
(fn-element (cc/compile [:p "some content"]))

;; Then call c/html like normal to generate HTML.
(c/html (fn-element 123))

;; "<div>foo123bar</div>"

Compile Usage

Chassis provides compiling macros cc/compile and cc/compile*. They take one argument, the root HTML tree, and they return compiled versions of the HTML tree. Use them to compile elements and pass their results to c/html.

(defn my-element []
  (cc/compile
    [:div [:p "foobar"]]))

(c/html (my-element))

;; "<div><p>foobar</p></div>"

Compiling flattens and compacts the HTML tree, making subsequent calls to c/html much faster.

(macroexpand-1 '(cc/compile [:div [:p "foobar"]]))

;; Results in:
#object[dev.onionpancakes.chassis.core.RawString 0x11c2d9a2 "<div><p>foobar</p></div>"]

(let [body (identity "some-dynamic-content")]
  (pprint
    (macroexpand-1
      '(cc/compile
        [:div.deeply
          [:div.nested
            [:div.thing
              [:p "before" body "after"]]]]))))

;; Results in:
[#object[dev.onionpancakes.chassis.core.RawString 0x66fd28ce "<div class=\"deeply\"><div class=\"nested\"><div class=\"thing\"><p>before"]
 body
 #object[dev.onionpancakes.chassis.core.RawString 0xe9c5af6 "after</p></div></div></div>"]]

Use cc/compile for most purposes. For performance, the returned value may or may not be a vector. This is so that compiling small fragments of fully compacted HTML (like <hr>) is as efficient as possible when iterated over by c/html.

;; <hr> is not wrapped as a 1-sized vector
(cc/compile [:hr])

;; #object[dev.onionpancakes.chassis.core.RawString 0x6ba58490 "<hr>"]

;; The end result is the same either way,
;; but the runtime serialization is faster this way.
(->> (range 10)
     (interpose (cc/compile [:hr]))
     (c/html))

;; "0<hr>1<hr>2<hr>3<hr>4<hr>5<hr>6<hr>7<hr>8<hr>9"

Use cc/compile* to ensure the return value is a vector. Otherwise, it is the same as cc/compile.

;; <hr> is wrapped as a 1-sized vector
(cc/compile* [:hr])

;; [#object[dev.onionpancakes.chassis.core.RawString 0x24f1caeb "<hr>"]]

Compiled Elements Must Have Literal Tags

A small but subtle difference between cc/compile and c/html is that cc/compile assumes elements are literal vectors with literal keyword tags. Vectors without literal tags, after var resolution, are assumed to be content.

;; Basically don't do this.
(let [footag :div]
  (c/html (cc/compile [footag "It's foobarred."])))

;; "divIt's foobarred."

;; Works at runtime.
(let [footag :div]
  (c/html [footag "It's foobarred."]))

;; "<div>It's foobarred.</div>"

Ambiguous Attributes Produce Speed Bumps

Ambiguous objects in the second position forces the compiler to emit checks which examine the potential attributes map at runtime.

(let [data {:body "foo"}]
  (pprint (clojure.walk/macroexpand-all
     ;; Compiler can't see what (:body data) returns.
    '(cc/compile [:div (:body data)]))))

;; Results in:
[(let*
  [attrs13712 (:body data)]
  (if ;; Check if 2nd item is attrs map at runtime.
   (dev.onionpancakes.chassis.core/attrs? attrs13712)
   (dev.onionpancakes.chassis.core/->OpeningTag
    nil
    :div
    nil
    nil
    attrs13712)
   [#object[dev.onionpancakes.chassis.core.RawString 0x1cc8f6fb "<div>"]
    attrs13712]))
 #object[dev.onionpancakes.chassis.core.RawString 0x6753cbe6 "</div>"]]

Resolving Ambiguity - Force Attributes Absence

Use nil in second position to force compile the element without attributes.

(let [data {:body "foo"}]
  (pprint (macroexpand-1
    '(cc/compile [:div nil (:body data)]))))

;; Results in:
[#object[dev.onionpancakes.chassis.core.RawString 0x6e42ae2e "<div>"]
 (:body data)
 #object[dev.onionpancakes.chassis.core.RawString 0x588c9f7d "</div>"]]

Resolving Ambiguity - Force Attributes Presence

Type hint the second position with either java.util.Map or clojure.lang.IPersistentMap to force compile elements with attributes.

(let [data {:attrs {:foo "bar"}
            :body  "foo"}]
  (pprint (macroexpand-1
    '(cc/compile [:div ^java.util.Map (:attrs data) (:body data)]))))

;; Results in:
[(dev.onionpancakes.chassis.core/->OpeningTag
  nil
  :div
  nil
  nil
  (:attrs data))
 (:body data)
 #object[dev.onionpancakes.chassis.core.RawString 0x6314faa "</div>"]]

Type hinting the argument or bindings also works.

  • Note: It doesn't show up correctly in a macroexpand, but it does works normally. This is because cc/compile examines the type hints from macro implied arg &env, and macroexpand for some reason doesn't capture &env.
;; Should work!
(defmethod c/resolve-alias ::CompileWithAttrs
  [_ ^java.util.Map attrs content]
  (cc/compile [:div attrs content]))

(let [^java.util.Map attrs {:foo "bar"}]
  (cc/compile [:div attrs "foobar"]))

Vetted Attributes Core Functions

Certain functions in clojure.core which returns maps are considered as attributes when called in the second position. Type hinting these invocations is not necessary. They include:

  • array-map
  • hash-map
  • sorted-map
  • sorted-map-by
  • assoc
  • assoc-in
  • merge
  • select-keys
  • update-keys
  • update-vals
;; Useful in aliases when merging attrs.
(defmethod c/resolve-alias ::AliasWithAttrsMerge
  [_ attrs content]
  (cc/compile
    [:div (merge {:foo "bar"} attrs)
      content]))

Warn on Ambiguous Attributes

Call (cc/set-warn-on-ambig-attrs!) to turn on warnings when compiling elements with ambiguous attributes. It will add a tap which prints out warning messages to *err* whenever ambiguous attributes are compiled.

Call (cc/unset-warn-on-ambig-attrs!) to disable.

Compilation Barriers

Function Calls

Functions calls, and generally any list values, block compilation traversal. Call cc/compile again to compile forms within.

(defn comp-blocked
  []
  [:p "blocked"])

(cc/compile [:div "foo" (comp-blocked) "bar"])

;; Results in:
[#object[dev.onionpancakes.chassis.core.RawString 0x67574bda "<div>foo"] 
 [:p "blocked"]
 #object[dev.onionpancakes.chassis.core.RawString 0x565edf06 "bar</div>"]]

Alias Elements

Alias elements are implemented as c/resolve-alias (via c/resolve-alias-with-meta) function calls. As a result, they also block compilation. However, the arguments passed to c/resolve-alias will be compiled.

(defmethod c/resolve-alias ::CompileMyAlias
  [_ attrs content]
  [:div attrs content])

(pprint
 (clojure.walk/macroexpand-all
  '(cc/compile
    [::CompileMyAlias {:foo "bar"}
     [:p "content 1"]
     [:p "content 2"]])))

;; Results in:
(dev.onionpancakes.chassis.core/resolve-alias-with-meta
 nil
 :user/CompileMyAlias
 {:foo "bar"}
 [#object[dev.onionpancakes.chassis.core.RawString 0x34e3a7d6 "<p>content 1</p><p>content 2</p>"]])

Macro Calls

Macros are expanded during compilation. Like function calls, those which expand into lists block compilation.

(pprint
 (cc/compile
  [:ol
   (for [i (range 4)]
     [:li i])]))

;; Results in:
[[#object[dev.onionpancakes.chassis.core.OpeningTag 0x6e462cc4 "<ol>"]
  ([:li 0] [:li 1] [:li 2] [:li 3])]
 #object[dev.onionpancakes.chassis.core.RawString 0x27b55932 "</ol>"]]

;; Manually call compile in the inner form to reach inside.
(pprint
 (cc/compile
  [:ol
   (for [i (range 4)]
     (cc/compile [:li i]))]))

Macros which expand into non-lists can participate in compilation. Therefore, it is possible to use macros to abstract element components in a compile friendly way.

Whether or not if this is a good idea is left to the user.

(defmacro NonBlockingElement
  [content]
  [:p nil content])

(cc/compile [:div (NonBlockingElement "not-blocked")])

;; Results in:
#object[dev.onionpancakes.chassis.core.RawString 0x31b2d0a8 "<div><p>not-blocked</p></div>"]

Var Resolved Constants

Symbols referring to vars containing constant values are resolved to those values during compilation traversal, thereby allowing those constant values to participate in compilation. Constant types include String, Long, IPersistentCollection of constants, and RawString such as c/doctype-html5 and c/nbsp. Use cc/constant? to check if values are constants.

;; Fully compacted!
;; Even with a symbol splitting content in the middle.
(cc/compile [:div "foo" c/nbsp "bar"])

;; Results in:
#object[dev.onionpancakes.chassis.core.RawString 0x7fb21735 "<div>foo&nbsp;bar</div>"]

Runtime Compilation

Chassis provides two analogous compile functions, cc/compile-node and cc/compile-node*, for compiling HTML tree at runtime. They are useful for compiling static HTML pages or components.

Because compiling happens at runtime, lists, function calls, and alias elements are no longer compilation barriers and ambiguous attributes are not possible.

Runtime compilation is similar to generating HTML with c/html but with key differences:

  • The return values are c/raw strings, allowing the result to be embedded in other HTML components without the HTML tags being escaped.
  • Stateful values, such as functions and derefs, are not realized.
(defn current-time []
  (java.time.LocalTime/now))

(defmethod c/resolve-alias ::CurrentTime
  [_ _ _]
  [:p "Current time is: " current-time])

(def static-page
  (cc/compile-node
    [::CurrentTime]))

;; Results in:
[#object[dev.onionpancakes.chassis.core.RawString 0x7a702aaf "<p>Current time is: "]
 ;; Notice current-time function is not yet called.
 #object[user$current_time 0x584d9dc4 "user$current_time@584d9dc4"]
 #object[dev.onionpancakes.chassis.core.RawString 0x1c59c510 "</p>"]]

;; Stateful values realized on call to c/html
(c/html static-page)

;; "<p>Current time is: 13:48:14.228299269</p>"

Performance

At this time, benchmarks shows Chassis to be 2x faster (and often more!) when compared to other Clojure HTML templating libraries on equivalent benchmark examples.

Element Vector Allocation is Small

Element vector allocation accounts for a small % of the runtime cost.

user=> (quick-bench (page-doall data-mid))
Evaluation count : 34752 in 6 samples of 5792 calls.
             Execution time mean : 18.073864 µs
    Execution time std-deviation : 623.107379 ns
   Execution time lower quantile : 17.421242 µs ( 2.5%)
   Execution time upper quantile : 18.715025 µs (97.5%)
                   Overhead used : 8.800684 ns

The vast proportion of the runtime cost is the iteration of HTML data structure and fragment writes.

It's All Interned

Keywords and Strings are interned objects. Therefore the cost of allocating HTML vectors is mostly the cost of allocation vectors, and allocating vectors is really fast.
