# html_builder [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/crystal-lang/html_builder.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/crystal-lang/html_builder)

DSL for creating HTML programatically (extracted from Crystal's standard library).

## Installation

Add this to your application's `shard.yml`:

```yaml

dependencies:

  html_builder:

    github: crystal-lang/html_builder

```

## Usage

#### Basic usage

```crystal

require "html_builder"

html = HTML.build do

  a(href: "http://crystal-lang.org") do

    text "crystal is awesome"

  end

end

puts html

```

**Output** (this output is formatted for better display):

```html



  crystal is awesome



```

#### Full HTML5 page

```crystal

html = HTML.build do

  doctype

  html(lang: "pt-BR") do

    head do

      title { text "Crystal Programming Language" }

      meta(charset: "UTF-8")

    end

    body do

      a(href: "http://crystal-lang.org") { text "Crystal rocks!" }

      form(method: "POST") do

        input(name: "name")

      end

    end

  end

end

puts html

```

**Output** :

```html

  

    Crystal Programming Language

    

  

  

    Crystal rocks!

    

      

    

  

```

#### Custom tags

```crystal

html = HTML.build do

  tag("v-button", to: "home") { text "Home" }

end

puts html

```

**Output**:

```html

  Home

```

#### Safety

HTML::Builder escapes attribute values:

```crystal

html = HTML.build do

  a(href: "<>") { }

end

puts html

```

**Output**:

```html



```

And escapes text:

```crystal

html = HTML.build do

  a { text "<>" }

end

puts html

```

**Output**:

```html

<>

```
