Returns:

  • (Boolean)

def children?
  !children.empty?
end

#fill_options(options) ⇒ Object

Fill default render options.

These are as defined for #render, with the addition of a :depth value of 0. Other values aren’t guaranteed to stay fixed, check source for current values.

def fill_options options
  {
    :pretty => true,
    :format => Rxhp::HTML_FORMAT,
    :skip_doctype => false,
    :doctype => Rxhp::HTML_5,
    :depth => 0,
    :indent => 2,
  }.merge(options)
end

#render(options = {}) ⇒ Object

Return a flat HTML string for this element and all its’ decendants.

You probably don’t want to implement this yourself - interesting implementations are in Fragment, HtmlElement, and ComposableElement.

Valid options include:

:pretty

add whitespace to make the output more readable. Defaults to true.

:indent

how many spaces to use to indent when :pretty is true.

:format

See Rxhp for values. Default is HTML_FORMAT

:skip_doctype

Self explanatory. Defaults to false.

:doctype

See Rxhp for values. Default is HTML_5

Raises:

  • (NotImplementedError)

def render options = {}
  raise NotImplementedError.new
end

#render_children(options = {}) ⇒ Object

Iterate over all the children, calling render.

def render_children options = {}
  return if children.empty?

  flattened_children.map{ |child| render_child(child, options) }.join
end

#render_string(string, options) ⇒ Object

Called when something that isn’t an element is found in the tree.

Implemented in HtmlElement.

Raises:

  • (NotImplementedError)

def render_string string, options
  raise NotImplementedError.new
end

#valid? ⇒ Boolean

Whether there are any detectable problems with this element.

See AttributeValidator for an example.

You probably don’t want to override this function in your subclasses; instead, you probably want to change #validate! to recognize your validations - all this does is check that it #validate! executes without raising a ValidationError.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)
