#meta
A library to easily build DOM objects through the magic of Lua meta tables.
# Usage
```lua
-- any HTML tag can be used here
dom.span {
-- tag attributes can be set like this:
class = "my-class",
id = "my-id",
-- Plain text body elements can be added like this
"Span content",
-- And elements can be nested
dom.strong { "I am strong" }
}
```
# Examples
${widget.html(dom.marquee{
"I'm in a ",
dom.span {
style="color:red;",
"marquee"
}
})}
# Implementation
```space-lua
dom = setmetatable({}, {
__index = function(self, tag)
return function(spec)
local node = js.window.document.createElement(tag)
for key, val in pairs(spec) do
if type(key) == "string" then
-- This is an attribute
if key:startsWith("on") then
node.addEventListener(key:sub(3), val)
else
node.setAttribute(key, val)
end
elseif type(val) == "string" then
-- Text body
node.appendChild(js.window.document.createTextNode(val))
else
-- Implicit assumption: this is a DOM node
node.appendChild(val)
end
end
return node
end
end
})
```
