Html.Attributes

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.

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!
