html2hamlet

A simple python script that takes an html file and outputs a hamlet file for use with Yesod

Requirements

• Python 3

Installation

The only dependency is Beautiful Soup (used for parsing the HTML). You can optionally use a virtual environment or install the dependecies globally:

$ git clone git@github.com:CodyReichert/html2hamlet
$ cd html2hamlet/

(optional)

$ virtualenv venv
$ source venv/bin/activate

(required)

$ pip install beautifulsoup4
$ python html2hamlet.py YOUR_HTML_FILE

Usage

Run:

python html2hamlet.py "filename.html"

This will output filename.hamlet into the current directory

Features

Run this script with any html file as the first argument. The output will be a .hamlet file in the current directory. All end tags are removed, all classes in any element are transformed to proper hamlet syntax. For example:

<div class="foo">
</div>

becomes

<div .foo>

And the same for Id's:

<div class="foo" id="bar">
</div>

becomes

<div .foo #bar>

Img src attributes are also transformed. If you move all of the static images to the /static/img/ directory of your yesod project, this should take care of the rest. For example:

<img class="thumbnail" src="/static/img/myimg.jpg">

becomes:

<img .thumbnail src=@{StaticR img_myimg_jpg}>

Note: img src links that start with http are omitted, so any images you're linking to will be ok

TODO

• Preserver HTML comments
  • Currently it's stripping all comments because comments that end on the same line as a closing tag (e.g. </ close> -->) get removed and the comment would never end.
• Two space indent in target file instead of 1 space.
• Keep BS from putting html and body tags at the top of every file.
• Transforming links (things to keep in mind):
  • href's that start with a hash (#) probably don't need to be transformed to @{LinkR}
