hey everyone 👋. Does anyone know a way (using kotlinx.html) to make a method that returns a html element? I can’t just do fun DIV.foo() = form {} as it returns Unit

[spand]

what is your usecase?

[Hamza]

kind of like templating html

[Hamza]

like in apache velocity, you can parse another file with #parse("path-to-file")

[spand]

Have you looked at https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.html/wiki/Micro-templating-and-DSL-customizing

[Hamza]

nope! I’ll take a look now

[Hamza]

ah, so i should be thinking about it in the oposite way

[spand]

Its a different way of thinking yes

[spand]

I think @orangy also made a small library for templating but I cannot find it again

[Hamza]

This page was perfect. Thank you!
