271 | =head1 DANGER WILL ROBINSON | ||||||
272 | |||||||
273 | This is a 0.9 release. That means that I'm fairly happy the API isn't going | ||||||
274 | to change in surprising and upsetting ways before 1.0 and a real compatibility | ||||||
275 | freeze. But it also means that if it turns out there's a mistake the size of | ||||||
276 | a politician's ego in the API design that I haven't spotted yet there may be | ||||||
277 | a bit of breakage between here and 1.0. Hopefully not though. Appendages | ||||||
278 | crossed and all that. | ||||||
279 | |||||||
280 | Worse still, the rest of the distribution isn't documented yet. I'm sorry. | ||||||
281 | I suck. But lots of people have been asking me to ship this, docs or no, so | ||||||
282 | having got this class itself at least somewhat documented I figured now was | ||||||
283 | a good time to cut a first real release. | ||||||
284 | |||||||
285 | =head1 DESCRIPTION | ||||||
286 | |||||||
287 | HTML::Zoom is a lazy, stream oriented, streaming capable, mostly functional, | ||||||
288 | CSS selector based semantic templating engine for HTML and HTML-like | ||||||
289 | document formats. | ||||||
290 | |||||||
291 | Which is, on the whole, a bit of a mouthful. So let me step back a moment | ||||||
292 | and explain why you care enough to understand what I mean: | ||||||
293 | |||||||
294 | =head2 JQUERY ENVY | ||||||
295 | |||||||
296 | HTML::Zoom is the cure for JQuery envy. When your javascript guy pushes a | ||||||
297 | piece of data into a document by doing: | ||||||
298 | |||||||
299 | $('.username').replaceAll(username); | ||||||
300 | |||||||
301 | In HTML::Zoom one can write | ||||||
302 | |||||||
303 | $zoom->select('.username')->replace_content($username); | ||||||
304 | |||||||
305 | which is, I hope, almost as clear, hampered only by the fact that Zoom can't | ||||||
306 | assume a global document and therefore has nothing quite so simple as the | ||||||
307 | $() function to get the initial selection. | ||||||
308 | |||||||
309 | L |
||||||
310 | specification, and will continue to track that rather than the W3C standards | ||||||
311 | for the forseeable future on grounds of pragmatism. Also on grounds of their | ||||||
312 | spec is written in EN_US rather than EN_W3C, and I read the former much better. | ||||||
313 | |||||||
314 | I am happy to admit that it's very, very much a subset at the moment - see the | ||||||
315 | L |
||||||
316 | and more to be supported over time as we need it and patch it in. | ||||||
317 | |||||||
318 | =head2 CLEAN TEMPLATES | ||||||
319 | |||||||
320 | HTML::Zoom is the cure for messy templates. How many times have you looked at | ||||||
321 | templates like this: | ||||||
322 | |||||||
323 | |||||||
324 | [% FOREACH field IN fields %] | ||||||
325 | |||||||
326 | |||||||
327 | [% END %] | ||||||
328 | |||||||
329 | |||||||
330 | and despaired of the fact that neither the HTML structure nor the logic are | ||||||
331 | remotely easy to read? Fortunately, with HTML::Zoom we can separate the two | ||||||
332 | cleanly: | ||||||
333 | |||||||
334 | |||||||
335 | |||||||
336 | |||||||
337 | |||||||
338 | |||||||
339 | $zoom->select('.myform')->repeat_content([ | ||||||
340 | map { my $field = $_; sub { | ||||||
341 | |||||||
342 | $_->select('label') | ||||||
343 | ->add_to_attribute( for => $field->{id} ) | ||||||
344 | ->then | ||||||
345 | ->replace_content( $field->{label} ) | ||||||
346 | ->add_to_attribute( | ||||||
347 | input => { | ||||||
348 | name => $field->{name}, | ||||||
349 | type => $field->{type}, | ||||||
350 | value => $field->{value} | ||||||
351 | }) | ||||||
352 | } } @fields | ||||||
353 | ]); | ||||||
354 | |||||||
355 | This is, admittedly, very much not shorter. However, it makes it extremely | ||||||
356 | clear what's happening and therefore less hassle to maintain. Especially | ||||||
357 | because it allows the designer to fiddle with the HTML without cutting | ||||||
358 | himself on sharp ELSE clauses, and the developer to add available data to | ||||||
359 | the template without getting angle bracket cuts on sensitive parts. | ||||||
360 | |||||||
361 | Better still, HTML::Zoom knows that it's inserting content into HTML and | ||||||
362 | can escape it for you - the example template should really have been: | ||||||
363 | |||||||
364 | |||||||
365 | [% FOREACH field IN fields %] | ||||||
366 | |||||||
367 | |||||||
368 | [% END %] | ||||||
369 | |||||||
370 | |||||||
371 | and frankly I'll take slightly more code any day over *that* crawling horror. | ||||||
372 | |||||||
373 | (addendum: I pick on L here specifically because | ||||||
374 | it's the template system I hate the least - for text templating, I don't | ||||||
375 | honestly think I'll ever like anything except the next version of Template | ||||||
376 | Toolkit better - but HTML isn't text. Zoom knows that. Do you?) | ||||||
377 | |||||||
378 | =head2 PUTTING THE FUN INTO FUNCTIONAL | ||||||
379 | |||||||
380 | The principle of HTML::Zoom is to provide a reusable, functional container | ||||||
381 | object that lets you build up a set of transforms to be applied; every method | ||||||
382 | call you make on a zoom object returns a new object, so it's safe to do so | ||||||
383 | on one somebody else gave you without worrying about altering state (with | ||||||
384 | the notable exception of ->next for stream objects, which I'll come to later). | ||||||
385 | |||||||
386 | So: | ||||||
387 | |||||||
388 | my $z2 = $z1->select('.name')->replace_content($name); | ||||||
389 | |||||||
390 | my $z3 = $z2->select('.title')->replace_content('Ms.'); | ||||||
391 | |||||||
392 | each time produces a new Zoom object. If you want to package up a set of | ||||||
393 | transforms to re-use, HTML::Zoom provides an 'apply' method: | ||||||
394 | |||||||
395 | my $add_name = sub { $_->select('.name')->replace_content($name) }; | ||||||
396 | |||||||
397 | my $same_as_z2 = $z1->apply($add_name); | ||||||
398 | |||||||
399 | =head2 LAZINESS IS A VIRTUE | ||||||
400 | |||||||
401 | HTML::Zoom does its best to defer doing anything until it's absolutely | ||||||
402 | required. The only point at which it descends into state is when you force | ||||||
403 | it to create a stream, directly by: | ||||||
404 | |||||||
405 | my $stream = $zoom->to_stream; | ||||||
406 | |||||||
407 | while (my $evt = $stream->next) { | ||||||
408 | # handle zoom event here | ||||||
409 | } | ||||||
410 | |||||||
411 | or indirectly via: | ||||||
412 | |||||||
413 | my $final_html = $zoom->to_html; | ||||||
414 | |||||||
415 | my $fh = $zoom->to_fh; | ||||||
416 | |||||||
417 | while (my $chunk = $fh->getline) { | ||||||
418 | ... | ||||||
419 | } | ||||||
420 | |||||||
421 | Better still, the $fh returned doesn't create its stream until the first | ||||||
422 | call to getline, which means that until you call that and force it to be | ||||||
423 | stateful you can get back to the original stateless Zoom object via: | ||||||
424 | |||||||
425 | my $zoom = $fh->to_zoom; | ||||||
426 | |||||||
427 | which is exceedingly handy for filtering L |
||||||
428 | things. | ||||||
429 | |||||||
430 | Because HTML::Zoom doesn't try and evaluate everything up front, you can | ||||||
431 | generally put things together in whatever order is most appropriate. This | ||||||
432 | means that: | ||||||
433 | |||||||
434 | my $start = HTML::Zoom->from_html($html); | ||||||
435 | |||||||
436 | my $zoom = $start->select('div')->replace_content('THIS IS A DIV!'); | ||||||
437 | |||||||
438 | and: | ||||||
439 | |||||||
440 | my $start = HTML::Zoom->select('div')->replace_content('THIS IS A DIV!'); | ||||||
441 | |||||||
442 | my $zoom = $start->from_html($html); | ||||||
443 | |||||||
444 | will produce equivalent final $zoom objects, thus proving that there can be | ||||||
445 | more than one way to do it without one of them being a | ||||||
446 | L |
||||||
447 | |||||||
448 | =head2 STOCKTON TO DARLINGTON UNDER STREAM POWER | ||||||
449 | |||||||
450 | HTML::Zoom's execution always happens in terms of streams under the hood | ||||||
451 | - that is, the basic pattern for doing anything is - | ||||||
452 | |||||||
453 | my $stream = get_stream_from_somewhere | ||||||
454 | |||||||
455 | while (my ($evt) = $stream->next) { | ||||||
456 | # do something with the event | ||||||
457 | } | ||||||
458 | |||||||
459 | More importantly, all selectors and filters are also built as stream | ||||||
460 | operations, so a selector and filter pair is effectively: | ||||||
461 | |||||||
462 | sub next { | ||||||
463 | my ($self) = @_; | ||||||
464 | my $next_evt = $self->parent_stream->next; | ||||||
465 | if ($self->selector_matches($next_evt)) { | ||||||
466 | return $self->apply_filter_to($next_evt); | ||||||
467 | } else { | ||||||
468 | return $next_evt; | ||||||
469 | } | ||||||
470 | } | ||||||
471 | |||||||
472 | Internally, things are marginally more complicated than that, but not enough | ||||||
473 | that you as a user should normally need to care. | ||||||
474 | |||||||
475 | In fact, an HTML::Zoom object is mostly just a container for the relevant | ||||||
476 | information from which to build the final stream that does the real work. A | ||||||
477 | stream built from a Zoom object is a stream of events from parsing the | ||||||
478 | initial HTML, wrapped in a filter stream per selector/filter pair provided | ||||||
479 | as described above. | ||||||
480 | |||||||
481 | The upshot of this is that the application of filters works just as well on | ||||||
482 | streams as on the original Zoom object - in fact, when you run a | ||||||
483 | L operation your subroutines are applied to the stream for | ||||||
484 | that element of the repeat, rather than constructing a new zoom per repeat | ||||||
485 | element as well. | ||||||
486 | |||||||
487 | More concretely: | ||||||
488 | |||||||
489 | $_->select('div')->replace_content('I AM A DIV!'); | ||||||
490 | |||||||
491 | works on both HTML::Zoom objects themselves and HTML::Zoom stream objects and | ||||||
492 | shares sufficient of the implementation that you can generally forget the | ||||||
493 | difference - barring the fact that a stream already has state attached so | ||||||
494 | things like to_fh are no longer available. | ||||||
495 | |||||||
496 | =head2 POP! GOES THE WEASEL | ||||||
497 | |||||||
498 | ... and by Weasel, I mean layout. | ||||||
499 | |||||||
500 | HTML::Zoom's filehandle object supports an additional event key, 'flush', | ||||||
501 | that is transparent to the rest of the system but indicates to the filehandle | ||||||
502 | object to end a getline operation at that point and return the HTML so far. | ||||||
503 | |||||||
504 | This means that in an environment where streaming output is available, such | ||||||
505 | as a number of the L |
||||||
506 | event in order to ensure that the HTML generated so far is flushed through | ||||||
507 | to the browser right now. This can be especially useful if you know you're | ||||||
508 | about to call a web service or a potentially slow database query or similar | ||||||
509 | to ensure that at least the header/layout of your page renders now, improving | ||||||
510 | perceived user responsiveness while your application waits around for the | ||||||
511 | data it needs. | ||||||
512 | |||||||
513 | This is currently exposed by the 'flush_before' option to the collect filter, | ||||||
514 | which incidentally also underlies the replace and repeat filters, so to | ||||||
515 | indicate we want this behaviour to happen before a query is executed we can | ||||||
516 | write something like: | ||||||
517 | |||||||
518 | $zoom->select('.item')->repeat(sub { | ||||||
519 | if (my $row = $db_thing->next) { | ||||||
520 | return sub { $_->select('.item-name')->replace_content($row->name) } | ||||||
521 | } else { | ||||||
522 | return | ||||||
523 | } | ||||||
524 | }, { flush_before => 1 }); | ||||||
525 | |||||||
526 | which should have the desired effect given a sufficiently lazy $db_thing (for | ||||||
527 | example a L |
||||||
528 | |||||||
529 | =head2 A FISTFUL OF OBJECTS | ||||||
530 | |||||||
531 | At the core of an HTML::Zoom system lurks an L |
||||||
532 | whose purpose is to hang on to the various bits and pieces that things need | ||||||
533 | so that there's a common way of accessing shared functionality. | ||||||
534 | |||||||
535 | Were I a computer scientist I would probably call this an "Inversion of | ||||||
536 | Control" object - which you'd be welcome to google to learn more about, or | ||||||
537 | you can just imagine a computer scientist being suspended upside down over | ||||||
538 | a pit. Either way works for me, I'm a pure maths grad. | ||||||
539 | |||||||
540 | The ZConfig object hangs on to one each of the following for you: | ||||||
541 | |||||||
542 | =over 4 | ||||||
543 | |||||||
544 | =item * An HTML parser, normally L |
||||||
545 | |||||||
546 | =item * An HTML producer (emitter), normally L |
||||||
547 | |||||||
548 | =item * An object to build event filters, normally L |
||||||
549 | |||||||
550 | =item * An object to parse CSS selectors, normally L |
||||||
551 | |||||||
552 | =item * An object to build streams, normally L |
||||||
553 | |||||||
554 | =back | ||||||
555 | |||||||
556 | In theory you could replace any of these with anything you like, but in | ||||||
557 | practice you're probably best restricting yourself to subclasses, or at | ||||||
558 | least things that manage to look like the original if you squint a bit. | ||||||
559 | |||||||
560 | If you do something more clever than that, or find yourself overriding things | ||||||
561 | in your ZConfig a lot, please please tell us about it via one of the means | ||||||
562 | mentioned under L. | ||||||
563 | |||||||
564 | =head2 SEMANTIC DIDACTIC | ||||||
565 | |||||||
566 | Some will argue that overloading CSS selectors to do data stuff is a terrible | ||||||
567 | idea, and possibly even a step towards the "Concrete Javascript" pattern | ||||||
568 | (which I abhor) or Smalltalk's Morphic (which I ignore, except for the part | ||||||
569 | where it keeps reminding me of the late, great Tony Hart's plasticine friend). | ||||||
570 | |||||||
571 | To which I say, "eh", "meh", and possibly also "feh". If it really upsets | ||||||
572 | you, either use extra classes for this (and remove them afterwards) or | ||||||
573 | use special fake elements or, well, honestly, just use something different. | ||||||
574 | L |
||||||
575 | and XML::LibXML transforms rather than a lightweight streaming approach - | ||||||
576 | maybe you'd like that better. Or maybe you really did want | ||||||
577 | L after all. It is still damn good at what it does, | ||||||
578 | after all. | ||||||
579 | |||||||
580 | So far, however, I've found that for new sites the designers I'm working with | ||||||
581 | generally want to produce nice semantic HTML with classes that represent the | ||||||
582 | nature of the data rather than the structure of the layout, so sharing them | ||||||
583 | as a common interface works really well for us. | ||||||
584 | |||||||
585 | In the absence of any evidence that overloading CSS selectors has killed | ||||||
586 | children or unexpectedly set fire to grandmothers - and given microformats | ||||||
587 | have been around for a while there's been plenty of opportunity for | ||||||
588 | octagenarian combustion - I'd suggest you give it a try and see if you like it. | ||||||
589 | |||||||
590 | =head2 GET THEE TO A SUMMARY! | ||||||
591 | |||||||
592 | Erm. Well. | ||||||
593 | |||||||
594 | HTML::Zoom is a lazy, stream oriented, streaming capable, mostly functional, | ||||||
595 | CSS selector based semantic templating engine for HTML and HTML-like | ||||||
596 | document formats. | ||||||
597 | |||||||
598 | But I said that already. Although hopefully by now you have some idea what I | ||||||
599 | meant when I said it. If you didn't have any idea the first time. I mean, I'm | ||||||
600 | not trying to call you stupid or anything. Just saying that maybe it wasn't | ||||||
601 | totally obvious without the explanation. Or something. | ||||||
602 | |||||||
603 | Er. | ||||||
604 | |||||||
605 | Maybe we should just move on to the method docs. | ||||||
606 | |||||||
607 | =head1 METHODS | ||||||
608 | |||||||
609 | =head2 new | ||||||
610 | |||||||
611 | my $zoom = HTML::Zoom->new; | ||||||
612 | |||||||
613 | my $zoom = HTML::Zoom->new({ zconfig => $zconfig }); | ||||||
614 | |||||||
615 | Create a new empty Zoom object. You can optionally pass an | ||||||
616 | L |
||||||
617 | the default components. | ||||||
618 | |||||||
619 | This method isn't often used directly since several other methods can also | ||||||
620 | act as constructors, notable L and L | ||||||
621 | |||||||
622 | =head2 zconfig | ||||||
623 | |||||||
624 | my $zconfig = $zoom->zconfig; | ||||||
625 | |||||||
626 | Retrieve the L |
||||||
627 | shouldn't usually need to call this yourself. | ||||||
628 | |||||||
629 | =head2 from_html | ||||||
630 | |||||||
631 | my $zoom = HTML::Zoom->from_html($html); | ||||||
632 | |||||||
633 | my $z2 = $z1->from_html($html); | ||||||
634 | |||||||
635 | Parses the HTML using the current zconfig's parser object and returns a new | ||||||
636 | zoom instance with that as the source HTML to be transformed. | ||||||
637 | |||||||
638 | =head2 from_file | ||||||
639 | |||||||
640 | my $zoom = HTML::Zoom->from_file($file); | ||||||
641 | |||||||
642 | my $z2 = $z1->from_file($file); | ||||||
643 | |||||||
644 | Convenience method - slurps the contents of $file and calls from_html with it. | ||||||
645 | |||||||
646 | =head2 from_events | ||||||
647 | |||||||
648 | my $zoom = HTML::Zoom->from_events($evt); | ||||||
649 | |||||||
650 | Create a new Zoom object from collected events | ||||||
651 | |||||||
652 | =head2 to_stream | ||||||
653 | |||||||
654 | my $stream = $zoom->to_stream; | ||||||
655 | |||||||
656 | while (my ($evt) = $stream->next) { | ||||||
657 | ... | ||||||
658 | |||||||
659 | Creates a stream, starting with a stream of the events from the HTML supplied | ||||||
660 | via L and then wrapping it in turn with each selector+filter pair | ||||||
661 | that have been applied to the zoom object. | ||||||
662 | |||||||
663 | =head2 to_fh | ||||||
664 | |||||||
665 | my $fh = $zoom->to_fh; | ||||||
666 | |||||||
667 | call_something_expecting_a_filehandle($fh); | ||||||
668 | |||||||
669 | Returns an L |
||||||
670 | time its getline method is called and then return all HTML up to the next | ||||||
671 | event with 'flush' set. | ||||||
672 | |||||||
673 | You can pass this filehandle to compliant PSGI handlers (and probably most | ||||||
674 | web frameworks). | ||||||
675 | |||||||
676 | =head2 run | ||||||
677 | |||||||
678 | $zoom->run; | ||||||
679 | |||||||
680 | Runs the zoom object's transforms without doing anything with the results. | ||||||
681 | |||||||
682 | Normally used to get side effects of a zoom run - for example when using | ||||||
683 | L |
||||||
684 | |||||||
685 | =head2 apply | ||||||
686 | |||||||
687 | my $z2 = $z1->apply(sub { | ||||||
688 | $_->select('div')->replace_content('I AM A DIV!') }) | ||||||
689 | }); | ||||||
690 | |||||||
691 | Sets $_ to the zoom object and then runs the provided code. Basically syntax | ||||||
692 | sugar, the following is entirely equivalent: | ||||||
693 | |||||||
694 | my $sub = sub { | ||||||
695 | shift->select('div')->replace_content('I AM A DIV!') }) | ||||||
696 | }; | ||||||
697 | |||||||
698 | my $z2 = $sub->($z1); | ||||||
699 | |||||||
700 | =head2 apply_if | ||||||
701 | |||||||
702 | my $z2 = $z1->apply_if($cond, sub { | ||||||
703 | $_->select('div')->replace_content('I AM A DIV!') }) | ||||||
704 | }); | ||||||
705 | |||||||
706 | ->apply but will only run the tranform if $cond is true | ||||||
707 | |||||||
708 | =head2 to_html | ||||||
709 | |||||||
710 | my $html = $zoom->to_html; | ||||||
711 | |||||||
712 | Runs the zoom processing and returns the resulting HTML. | ||||||
713 | |||||||
714 | =head2 memoize | ||||||
715 | |||||||
716 | my $z2 = $z1->memoize; | ||||||
717 | |||||||
718 | Creates a new zoom whose source HTML is the results of the original zoom's | ||||||
719 | processing. Effectively syntax sugar for: | ||||||
720 | |||||||
721 | my $z2 = HTML::Zoom->from_html($z1->to_html); | ||||||
722 | |||||||
723 | but preserves your L |
||||||
724 | |||||||
725 | =head2 with_filter | ||||||
726 | |||||||
727 | my $zoom = HTML::Zoom->with_filter( | ||||||
728 | 'div', $filter_builder->replace_content('I AM A DIV!') | ||||||
729 | ); | ||||||
730 | |||||||
731 | my $z2 = $z1->with_filter( | ||||||
732 | 'div', $filter_builder->replace_content('I AM A DIV!') | ||||||
733 | ); | ||||||
734 | |||||||
735 | Lower level interface than L to adding filters to your zoom object. | ||||||
736 | |||||||
737 | In normal usage, you probably don't need to call this yourself. | ||||||
738 | |||||||
739 | =head2 select | ||||||
740 | |||||||
741 | my $zoom = HTML::Zoom->select('div')->replace_content('I AM A DIV!'); | ||||||
742 | |||||||
743 | my $z2 = $z1->select('div')->replace_content('I AM A DIV!'); | ||||||
744 | |||||||
745 | Returns an intermediary object of the class L |
||||||
746 | on which methods of your L |
||||||
747 | |||||||
748 | In normal usage you should generally always put the pair of method calls | ||||||
749 | together; the intermediary object isn't designed or expected to stick around. | ||||||
750 | |||||||
751 | =head2 then | ||||||
752 | |||||||
753 | my $z2 = $z1->select('div')->add_to_attribute(class => 'spoon') | ||||||
754 | ->then | ||||||
755 | ->replace_content('I AM A DIV!'); | ||||||
756 | |||||||
757 | Re-runs the previous select to allow you to chain actions together on the | ||||||
758 | same selector. | ||||||
759 | |||||||
760 | =head1 AUTOLOAD METHODS | ||||||
761 | |||||||
762 | L |
||||||
763 | certain amount of boilerplate typing. This allows you to replace: | ||||||
764 | |||||||
765 | $z->select('div')->replace_content("Hello World"); | ||||||
766 | |||||||
767 | With: | ||||||
768 | |||||||
769 | $z->replace_content(div => "Hello World"); | ||||||
770 | |||||||
771 | Besides saving a few keys per invocations, you may feel this looks neater | ||||||
772 | in your code and increases understanding. | ||||||
