Hox is an async HTML rendering library for F#.
Hox is an extensible HTML rendering library, it provides a set of functions to work with Nodes and compose them together as well as a couple of async rendering functions that support cancellation.
The core features are:
- A single core
Nodetype that drives the whole rendering mechanism. - Side-by-side Asynchronous Nodes, you can add sync or async nodes into sync/async parents/sibling nodes.
- Cancellable sync/async Rendering process that leverages ValueTasks.
- Render to a single string or
IAsyncEnumerable<string>. - A simplistic core DSL based on CSS selector parsing to generate nodes.
A couple of opt-in extra supported features are:
- Declarative Shadow DOM support for built-in html elements (e.g. div, article, nav, etc.)
- Templating functions for Declarative Shadow DOM custom elements.
- C# and VB.NET compatibility out of the box for the core constructs.
- Feliz-like API thanks to Feliz.Engine for an F# flavored style.
The core bits are somewhat low level building blocks to enable these kinds of features and possibly more in the future.
