Overview

The Markaby::Builder class is the central gear in the system. When using from Ruby code, this is the only class you need to instantiate directly.

mab = Markaby::Builder.new
mab.html do
  head { title "Boats.com" }
  body do
    h1 "Boats.com has great deals"
    ul do
      li "$49 for a canoe"
      li "$39 for a raft"
      li "$29 for a huge boot that floats and can fit 5 people"
    end
  end
end
puts mab.to_s

Constructor Details

#initialize(assigns = {}, helper = nil, &block) ⇒ Builder

Create a Markaby builder object. Pass in a hash of variable assignments to assigns which will be available as instance variables inside tag construction blocks. If an object is passed in to helper, its methods will be available from those same blocks.

Pass in a block to new and the block will be evaluated.

mab = Markaby::Builder.new {
  html do
    body do
      h1 "Matching Mole"
    end
  end
}

Dynamic Method Handling

This class handles dynamic methods through the method_missing method

#method_missing(sym, *args, &block) ⇒ Object (private)

This method is used to intercept calls to helper methods and instance variables. Here is the order of interception:

  • If sym is a helper method, the helper method is called and output to the stream.

  • If sym is a Builder::XmlMarkup method, it is passed on to the builder object.

  • If sym is also the name of an instance variable, the value of the instance variable is returned.

  • If sym has come this far and no tagset is found, sym and its arguments are passed to tag!

  • If a tagset is found, though, NoMethodError is raised.

method_missing used to be the lynchpin in Markaby, but it’s no longer used to handle HTML tags. See html_tag for that.

Instance Method Details

#capture(&block) ⇒ Object

Captures the HTML code built inside the block. This is done by creating a new stream for the builder object, running the block and passing back its stream as a string.

>> Markaby::Builder.new.capture { h1 "TEST"; h2 "CAPTURE ME" }
=> "<h1>TEST</h1><h2>CAPTURE ME</h2>"

#tag!(tag, *args, &block) ⇒ Object

Create a tag named tag. Other than the first argument which is the tag name, the arguments are the same as the tags implemented via method_missing.
