Facelift

Facelift is an experiment in creating a DSL for CSS in Scala. Goals are discoverability, type safety and ease of use.

Writing Html:

val titleId = Id("title")
val titleClass = Class("cool")
val titleStyle = Style(Color.Green, Margin(45 px, 20 px, 10 px, 10 px), 'paddingLeft -> "10px")

val html1 =
  Html {
    Body(Style('backgroundColor -> "#F5F5F5")) {
      // Most bootstrap classes are built in, let's bind them to Bs
      import com.github.tbje.facelift.css.{ BootstrapClasses => Bs }
      // Calling apply multiple times will add children to the node
      H1(titleId, titleClass, titleStyle, 'funkyAttr -> "very-funky"){
        "Welcome to FaceLift" // you can pass a String
        }{B("my friend")} ++  // or another NodeSeq
        // Combine multiple styles easily using &
        Div(Bs.colMd4 & Bs.pullRight) { 
          // Access glyphs from Glyhicon in a typesafe manner
          Glyphicon.Cloud % Style(FontSize(1.6 em), LineHeight(20.px)) ++ 
          Span(Bs.h3, Style(MarginLeft(10.px)))("my title")
      }
    }
  }

Inline with Scala XML-litterals:

val html3 = <html><body>{ <h1/> % titleId % titleClass % titleStyle } </body></html>

Please also have a look at the examples.

In a CSS file:

import CssSelector._
val css2 =
  new CssElement(Id("link"))(
    'paddingLeft -> "20px",
    'boxShadow -> "auto",
    'boxShadow -> "0 2px 5px rgba(0,0,0,.3)",
    Width(340.px),
    Margin("30px auto 0"),
    Color.Chartreuse,
    Padding(30.px),
    TextAlign.Center,
    FontSize(1.2 em),
    FontFamily.websafe.serif.Georgia,
    BackgroundColor("#F5F5F5"))

Nesting:

val linkCss =
  CssElement(Id("link"))(
    Width(140.px),
    Color.Blue)

val wideCss =
  CssElement(Class("wide"))(
    Width(340.px))(linkCss)

println(wideCss)

.wide {
  width: 340px;
}

.wide #link {
  width: 140px;
  color: blue;
}

Required imports:

import com.github.tbje.facelift.imports._

In your project (SBT-settings):

libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
    "com.github.tbje" %% "facelift" % "0.1"
)

Build it locally:

git clone [email protected]:tbje/facelift.git
cd facelift
