8588 :: Karax : convert html string to vdom

• Cnerd (orginal) [2021-11-03T18:08:22+01:00] view original

  Hello, I have been working on a webapp which uses karax on the frontend. I want to know if there is a karax procedure which can covert html text to karax vdom. If there no procedure that can achieve that, is there a certain workflow which is not computation intensive and is not bad code design that can achieve this ?

  You are correct that the packages convert html to Karax code, rather than the runtime representation.

  innerHtml is a good option here, there is also a verbatim node (that uses innerHtml in it's implementation).

  When doing manual dom-wrangling it can be useful to pass in a clientPostRenderCallback to the setRenderer call. There's an example using a charts library.

  If you have issues with Karax flagging your dom manipulations you can use setForeignNodeId to tell Karax to not check it.

  Hi so after some thought i have created a library called htmlToVdom which converts html string to embbedable karax representations. I have tested it and it works well. So if you ever need the library here's the link to the github page https://github.com/C-NERD/htmlToVdom . I have also made a pull request to add the library to the package list so soon it'll be available on nimble
