[Kitura](https://www.kitura.dev) plugin for type-safe HTML/CSS views using [Swep](https://github.com/alja7dali/swift-web-page).

## Motivation

The most popular choice for rendering HTML/CSS in a Kitura web app is to use the Stencil templating language, but it exposes your application to **runtime errors** and **invalid HTML/CSS**. Our plugin prevents these runtime issues at compile-time by embedding HTML/CSS directly into Swift’s powerful type system. It uses the [Swep](https://github.com/alja7dali/swift-web-page) DSL for constructing HTML/CSS documents using plain Swift data structures.

## Usage

To use the plugin all you have to do is return a `Document` or `Stylesheet` value from your router callback:

``` swift
import Swep
import Kitura
import SwepKituraSupport

let router = Router()
defer { Kitura.stop() }

router.get("/") { request, response, next in
response.send(
document {
head {
style {
selector("*") {
margin(.px(5))
backgroundColor(.hex(0xd1d1d1))
}
}
link()
.rel(.stylesheet)
.href("style.min.css")
}
body {
h1("Hello, type-safe HTML/CSS on Kitura!")
.color(.green)
}
}
)
next()
}

router.get("style.min.css") { request, response, next in
response.send(
stylesheet {
selector("body") {
padding(.rem(0.5))
lineHeight(1.35)
fontFamily("SanFranciscoDisplay-Regular")
}
selector("h1") {
marginTop(.rem(2))
marginBottom(.px(0))
}
}
)
next()
}

Kitura.addHTTPServer(onPort: 8080, with: router)
Kitura.run()
```

## Take it for a spin

We've included a sample Kitura application in this repo to show off its usage. To run the app immediately, simply do:

* `swift run SwepKituraSupportExample`
* Open your browser to `http://localhost:8080`

The HTML/CSS for that page is constructed and rendered with Swep!!

## Installation

### Swift Package Manager (SPM)

If you want to use *swift-web-page-kitura* in a project that uses [SPM](https://swift.org/package-manager/), it's as simple as adding a `dependencies` clause to your `Package.swift`:

``` swift
dependencies: [
.package(url: "https://github.com/alja7dali/swift-web-page-kitura.git", from: "0.0.1")
]
```

From there you can add `SwepKituraSupport` as target dependencies.

``` swift
let SwepKituraSupport: Target.Dependency = .product(name: "SwepKituraSupport", package: "swift-web-page-kitura")
...
targets: [
.target(name: "yourProject", dependencies: [SwepKituraSupport]),
]
```
