Newb. I read in Hoplon docs:

How will templating and HTML processing work in HLisp?

Solution: None, yet.

@matan: what do you mean by templating? in hoplon such things are obsolete

there is no need to do string munging of html whatsoever in a hoplon application

because the dom is first class

you just make functions (see hoplon.core/defelem)

although you can still use any of the many js templating libraries in your application if you wish

like mustache, swig, jquery template, whatever

but in my experience that only adds complexity for no benefit

^imo a template is just code in a restricted dsl, makes more sense to use functions

yep and the whole process of converting strings to html and then using jquery or whatever to attach event handlers etc

not ideal

@matan: if you have an example of how you use templates that would be the best thing, because we could then show you the alternative

@micha latest PR’s for hoplon and boot-hoplon remove jQuery and use GCL

why replace jquery with gcl?

doesnt replace, removes dependency and makes it optional, anything internal which used jQuery is replaced with vanilla js

so hoplon doesnt need jQuery or GCL

ah ok yes

the actual changes are pretty easy to follow in the comparison

I wanted to get more eyes on it tho, I do have an app running on the gcl now

above brew PR has a screenshot

excellent! i'll have a look

deep in some haproxy testing at the moment

no prob just a heads up, it’s ready for review
