Html.Attributes
Helper functions for HTML attributes. They are organized roughly by
category. Each attribute is labeled with the HTML tags it can be used with, so
just search the page for video
if you want video stuff.
Primitives
Specify a style.
greeting : Node msg
greeting =
div
[ style "background-color" "red"
, style "height" "90px"
, style "width" "100%"
]
[ text "Hello!"
]
There is no Html.Styles
module because best practices for working with HTML
suggest that this should primarily be specified in CSS files. So the general
recommendation is to use this function lightly.
Create properties, like saying domNode.className = 'greeting'
in
JavaScript.
import Json.Encode as Encode
class : String -> Attribute msg
class name =
property "className" (Encode.string name)

Create attributes, like saying domNode.setAttribute('class', 'greeting')
in JavaScript.
class : String -> Attribute msg
class name =
attribute "class" name

Transform the messages produced by an Attribute
.
Super Common Attributes
Often used with CSS to style elements with common properties.
Note: You can have as many class
and classList
attributes as you want.
They all get applied, so if you say [ class "notice", class "notice-seen" ]
you will get both classes!
This function makes it easier to build a space-separated class attribute. Each class can easily be added and removed depending on the boolean value it is paired with. For example, maybe we want a way to view notices:
viewNotice : Notice -> Html msg
viewNotice notice =
div
[ classList
[ { class = "notice", enabled = True }
, { class = "notice-important", enabled = notice.isImportant }
, { class = "notice-seen", enabled = notice.isSeen }
]
]
[ text notice.content ]
Note: You can have as many class
and classList
attributes as you want.
They all get applied, so if you say [ class "notice", class "notice-seen" ]
you will get both classes!
Often used with CSS to style a specific element. The value of this attribute must be unique.
