|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Overview
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The daemon-cli crate now includes **HTML page generation** capabilities using Tera templates. This allows you to:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Generate complete HTML5 pages with styled layouts
|
||
|
|
- Create reusable HTML components
|
||
|
|
- Build dashboards with metrics and sections
|
||
|
|
- Generate professional reports
|
||
|
|
- Render dynamic pages from templates and context data
|
||
|
|
|
||
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
#[tokio::main]
|
||
|
|
async fn main() {
|
||
|
|
let renderer = HtmlRenderer::new();
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
let template = r#"<!DOCTYPE html>
|
||
|
|
<html>
|
||
|
|
<head><title>{{ page_title }}</title></head>
|
||
|
|
<body>
|
||
|
|
<h1>Welcome {{ name }}!</h1>
|
||
|
|
<p>{{ message }}</p>
|
||
|
|
</body>
|
||
|
|
</html>"#;

|
|
let result = renderer.render_html(template, &ctx).await;
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
if result.success {
|
||
|
|
println!("{}", result.output);
|
||
|
|
// Save to file

## Advanced Features
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### HTML Components
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Create reusable HTML components:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```rust
|
||
|
|
let renderer = HtmlRenderer::new();
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// Define a card component
|
||
|
|
let card_component = r#"<div class="card" style="border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 20px; margin: 10px;">
|
||
|
|
<h3>{{ card_title }}</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p>{{ card_content }}</p>
|
||
|
|
{% if card_footer %}<footer>{{ card_footer }}</footer>{% endif %}
|
||
|
|
</div>"#;
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
let ctx = RenderContext::new()
|
||
|
|
.with_variable("card_title", json!("Featured Item"))
|
||
|
|
.with_variable("card_content", json!("This is a reusable card component"))
|
||
|
|
.with_variable("card_footer", json!("Click for details"));
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
let result = renderer.render_component(card_component, &ctx).await;
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Dynamic Lists
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Generate HTML lists from arrays:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```rust
|
||
|
|
let template = r#"<ul>
|
||
|
|
{% for item in items %}
|
||
|
|
<li>{{ item.name }} - {{ item.value }}</li>
|
||
|
|
{% endfor %}
|
||
|
|
</ul>"#;
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
let items = json!([
|
||
|
|
{ "name": "Item 1", "value": "100" },
|
||
|
|
{ "name": "Item 2", "value": "200" },
|
||
|
|
{ "name": "Item 3", "value": "300" }
|
||
|
|
]);
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
let ctx = RenderContext::new()
|
||
|
|
.with_variable("items", items);
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
let result = renderer.render_html(template, &ctx).await;
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Conditional Content
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Show/hide sections based on data:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```rust
|
||
|
|
let template = r#"<div>
|
||
|
|
<h2>Status Report</h2>
|
||
|
|
{% if status == "error" %}
|
||
|
|
<div style="background: #ffcccc; padding: 10px; border-left: 4px solid red;">
|
||
|
|
<strong>Error:</strong> {{ error_message }}
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
{% elif status == "warning" %}
|
||
|
|
<div style="background: #ffffcc; padding: 10px; border-left: 4px solid orange;">
|
||
|
|
<strong>Warning:</strong> {{ warning_message }}
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
{% else %}
|
||
|
|
<div style="background: #ccffcc; padding: 10px; border-left: 4px solid green;">
|
||
|
|
<strong>Success:</strong> All systems operational
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
{% endif %}
|
||
|
|
</div>"#;
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
let ctx = RenderContext::new()
|
||
|
|
.with_variable("status", json!("error"))
|
||
|
|
.with_variable("error_message", json!("Database connection failed"));
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
let result = renderer.render_html(template, &ctx).await;
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Using Filters
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Apply Tera filters to format data:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```rust
|
||
|
|
let template = r#"<div>
|
||
|
|
<h1>{{ title | upper }}</h1>
|
||
|
|
<p>Items: {{ items | length }}</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Truncated: {{ long_text | truncate(length=50) }}</p>
|
||
|
|
</div>"#;
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
let ctx = RenderContext::new()
|
||
|
|
.with_variable("title", json!("hello world"))
|
||
|
|
.with_variable("items", json!(["a", "b", "c"]))
|
||
|
|
.with_variable("long_text", json!("This is a very long text that should be truncated"));
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
let result = renderer.render_html(template, &ctx).await;
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|

## Rendering Methods
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### `render_html(template, context)`
|
||
|
|
Simple HTML rendering with validation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```rust
|
||
|
|
let result = renderer.render_html(template, &context).await;
|
||
|
|
if result.success {
|
||
|
|
println!("Rendered in {}ms", result.duration_ms);
|
||
|
|
println!("{}", result.output);
|
||
|
|
} else {
|
||
|
|
eprintln!("Errors: {:?}", result.errors);
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### `render_page(title, template, context)`
|
||
|
|
Render a page with automatic title handling.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```rust
|
||
|
|
let result = renderer.render_page(
|
||
|
|
"Dashboard",
|
||
|
|
template,
|
||
|
|
&context
|
||
|
|
).await;
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### `render_component(template, context)`
|
||
|
|
Render reusable HTML components.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```rust
|
||
|
|
let result = renderer.render_component(component, &context).await;
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### `validate_html(template)`
|
||
|
|
Validate HTML template syntax before rendering.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```rust
|
||
|
|
let validation = renderer.validate_html(template).await;
|
||
|
|
if validation.is_ok() {
|
||
|
|
// Template is valid, safe to render
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
---
|
||

|
||
|
|
### Generate a Project Status Page
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```rust
|
||
|
|
let renderer = HtmlRenderer::new();
|
||
|
|
let template = HtmlRenderer::dashboard_template();
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
let metrics = json!([
|
||
|
|
{ "label": "Build Status", "value": "✅ Passing" },
|
||
|
|
{ "label": "Test Coverage", "value": "98%" },

|
|
]);
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
let sections = json!([
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
"title": "Latest Build",
|
||
|
|
"content": "Build #1234 completed successfully in 2m 34s"
|
||
|
|
},
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
"title": "Recent Commits",
|
||
|
|
"content": "5 commits merged to main branch"
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
]);
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
let ctx = RenderContext::new()
|
||
|
|
.with_variable("dashboard_title", json!("Project Status"))
|
||
|
|
.with_variable("metrics", metrics)
|
||
|
|
.with_variable("sections", sections);
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
let result = renderer.render_html(template, &ctx).await;
|
||
|
|
std::fs::write("status.html", result.output).unwrap();
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Generate a Security Report
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```rust
|
||
|
|
let renderer = HtmlRenderer::new();
|
||
|
|
let template = HtmlRenderer::report_template();
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
let findings = json!([
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
"id": "findings",
|
||
|
|
"title": "Security Findings",
|
||
|
|
"content": r#"<p>The following vulnerabilities were identified:</p>
|
||
|
|
<table>
|
||
|
|
<tr><th>CVE</th><th>Severity</th><th>Status</th></tr>
|
||
|
|
<tr><td>CVE-2024-001</td><td>High</td><td>Patched</td></tr>
|
||
|
|
<tr><td>CVE-2024-002</td><td>Medium</td><td>In Progress</td></tr>
|
||
|
|
</table>"#
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
]);
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
let ctx = RenderContext::new()
|
||
|
|
.with_variable("report_title", json!("Security Audit Report"))
|
||
|
|
.with_variable("report_author", json!("Security Team"))
|
||
|
|
.with_variable("sections", findings)
|
||
|
|
.with_variable("footer_text", json!("CONFIDENTIAL"));
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
let result = renderer.render_html(template, &ctx).await;
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
---
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Integration with Daemon API
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can expose HTML rendering through the HTTP API:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```rust
|
||
|
|
// Handler for /api/v1/render endpoint
|
||
|
|
async fn render_html_handler(
|
||
|
|
State(state): State<AppState>,
|
||
|
|
Json(payload): Json<RenderRequest>,
|
||
|
|
) -> impl IntoResponse {
|
||
|
|
let renderer = HtmlRenderer::new();
|
||
|
|
let ctx = RenderContext::new()
|
||
|
|
.with_variable("data", json!(payload.data));
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
match renderer.render_html(&payload.template, &ctx).await {
|
||
|
|
result if result.success => {
|
||
|
|
(StatusCode::OK, result.output)
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
result => {
|
||
|
|
(StatusCode::BAD_REQUEST, format!("Error: {:?}", result.errors))
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
---
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Best Practices
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. **Validate Templates First**
|
||
|
|
```rust
|
||
|
|
renderer.validate_html(template).await?;
|
||
|
|
renderer.render_html(template, &ctx).await;
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. **Sanitize User Input**
|
||
|
|
- Always escape user-provided data in templates
|
||
|
|
- Use Tera's `escape_html` filter for user content
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. **Reuse Templates**
|
||
|
|
```rust
|
||
|
|
let template = HtmlRenderer::basic_page_template();
|
||
|
|
// Render multiple pages with different contexts
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. **Performance**
|
||
|
|
- Cache template definitions
|
||
|
|
- Render heavy pages asynchronously
|
||
|
|
- Profile with `duration_ms` metric
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
5. **Accessibility**
|
||
|
|
- Include ARIA labels
|
||
|
|
- Use semantic HTML (`<header>`, `<nav>`, `<main>`, etc.)
|
||
|
|
- Ensure sufficient color contrast
|

## Error Handling
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```rust
|
||
|
|
let result = renderer.render_html(template, &ctx).await;
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
if !result.success {
|
||
|
|
eprintln!("Rendering failed in {}ms", result.duration_ms);
|
||
|
|
for error in &result.errors {
|
||
|
|
eprintln!(" Error: {}", error);
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
for warning in &result.warnings {
|
||
|
|
eprintln!(" Warning: {}", warning);
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||

## CLI Usage (Future)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once integrated with the CLI:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
# Render HTML page from template
|
||
|
|
provctl render html --template dashboard.html --data metrics.json
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Validate HTML template
|
||
|
|
provctl render validate --type html --template dashboard.html
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Generate report
|
||
|
|
provctl render report --template report.html --output report.pdf
|
||
|
|
```
