# Temple
Temple is an Elixir DSL for writing HTML and SVG.
## Installation
Add `temple` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:
```elixir
def deps do
[
{:temple, "~> 0.12"}
]
end
```
## Goals
Currently Temple has the following things on which it won't compromise.
- Will only work with valid Elixir syntax.
- Should work in all web environments such as Plug, Aino, Phoenix, and Phoenix LiveView.
## Usage
Using Temple is as simple as using the DSL inside of an `temple/1` block. The runtime result of the macro is your HTML.
See the [guides](https://hexdocs.pm/temple/your-first-template.html) for more details.
```elixir
import Temple
temple do
h2 do: "todos"
ul class: "list" do
for item <- @items do
li class: "item" do
div class: "checkbox" do
div class: "bullet hidden"
end
div do: item
end
end
end
script do: """
function toggleCheck({currentTarget}) {
currentTarget.children[0].children[0].classList.toggle("hidden");
}
let items = document.querySelectorAll("li");
Array.from(items).forEach(checkbox => checkbox.addEventListener("click", toggleCheck));
"""
end
```
### Components
Temple components are simple to write and easy to use.
Unlike normal partials, Temple components have the concept of "slots", which are similar [Vue](https://v3.vuejs.org/guide/component-slots.html#named-slots). You can also refer to HEEx and Surface for examples of templates that have the "slot" concept.
Temple components are compatible with HEEx and Surface components and can be shared.
Please see the [guides](https://hexdocs.pm/temple/components.html) for more details.
```elixir
defmodule MyAppWeb.Component do
import Temple
def card(assigns) do
temple do
section do
div do
slot @header
end
div do
slot @inner_block
end
div do
slot @footer
end
end
end
end
end
```
Using components is as simple as passing a reference to your component function to the `c` keyword.
```elixir
import MyAppWeb.Component
c &card/1 do
slot :header do
@user.full_name
end
@user.bio
slot :footer do
a href: "https://twitter.com/#{@user.twitter}" do
"@#{@user.twitter}"
end
a href: "https://github.com/#{@user.github}" do
"@#{@user.github}"
end
end
end
```
### Engine
By default, Temple will use the `EEx.SmartEngine` that is built into the Elixir standard library. If you are a web framework that uses it's own template engine (such as [Aino](https://github.com/oestrich/aino) and Phoenix/LiveView, you can configure Temple to it!
```elixir
# config/config.exs
config :temple,
engine: Aino.View.Engine # or Phoenix.HTML.Engine or Phoenix.LiveView.Engine
```
### Formatter
To include Temple's formatter configuration, add `:temple` to your `.formatter.exs`.
```elixir
[
import_deps: [:temple],
inputs: ["*.{ex,exs}", "priv/*/seeds.exs", "{config,lib,test}/**/*.{ex,exs,lexs}"],
]
```
## Phoenix
When using Phoenix ~> 1.7, all you need to do is include `:temple` in your mix.exs.
If you plan on using the template structure that < 1.6 Phoenix applications use, you can use `:temple_phoenix` as described below.
To use with [Phoenix](https://github.com/phoenixframework/phoenix), please use the [temple_phoenix](https://github.com/mhanberg/temple_phoenix) package! This bundles up some useful helpers as well as the Phoenix Template engine.
