+# Karax
+Karax is a framework for developing single page applications in Nim.
+
+## Install
+
+To use Karax you must have nim installed. You can follow the instructions [here](https://nim-lang.org/install.html).
+
+Then you can install karax through nimble:
+``nimble install karax``
+
+## Try Karax
+To try it out, run:
+
+``cd ~/projects # Insert your favourite directory for projects``
+
+``nimble develop karax # This will clone Karax and create a link to it in ~/.nimble``
+
+``cd karax``
+
+``cd examples/todoapp``
+
+``nim js todoapp.nim``
+
+``open todoapp.html``
+
+``cd ../..``
+
+``cd examples/mediaplayer``
+
+``nim js playerapp.nim``
+
+``open playerapp.html``
+
+It uses a virtual DOM like React, but is much smaller than the existing
+frameworks plus of course it's written in Nim for Nim. No external
+dependencies! And thanks to Nim's whole program optimization only what
+is used ends up in the generated JavaScript code.
+
+
+## Goals
+
+
+- Leverage Nim's macro system to produce a framework that allows
+  for the development of applications that are boilerplate free.
+- Keep it small, keep it fast, keep it flexible.
+
+
+
+## Hello World
+
+
+The simplest Karax program looks like this:
+
+```nim
+
+include karax / prelude
+
+proc createDom(): VNode =
+  result = buildHtml(tdiv):
+    text "Hello World!"
+
+setRenderer createDom
+```
+
+Since ``div`` is a keyword in Nim, karax choose to use ``tdiv`` instead
+here. ``tdiv`` produces a ``<div>`` virtual DOM node.
+
+As you can see, karax comes with its own ``buildHtml`` DSL for convenient
+construction of (virtual) DOM trees (of type ``VNode``). Karax provides
+a tiny build tool called ``karun`` that generates the HTML boilerplate code that
+embeds and invokes the generated JavaScript code::
+
+``nim c karax/tools/karun``
+``karax/tools/karun -r helloworld.nim``
+
+Via ``-d:debugKaraxDsl`` we can have a look at the produced Nim code by
+``buildHtml``:
+
+```nim
+
+let tmp1 = tree(VNodeKind.tdiv)
+add(tmp1, text "Hello World!")
+tmp1
+```
+(I shortened the IDs for better readability.)
+
+Ok, so ``buildHtml`` introduces temporaries and calls ``add`` for the tree
+construction so that it composes with all of Nim's control flow constructs:
+
+
+```nim
+
+include karax / prelude
+import random
+
+proc createDom(): VNode =
+  result = buildHtml(tdiv):
+    if rand(100) <= 50:
+      text "Hello World!"
+    else:
+      text "Hello Universe"
+
+randomize()
+setRenderer createDom
+
+```
+Produces:
+
+```nim
+
+let tmp1 = tree(VNodeKind.tdiv)
+if rand(100) <= 50:
+  add(tmp1, text "Hello World!")
+else:
+  add(tmp1, text "Hello Universe")
+tmp1
+```
+
+## Event model
+
+Karax does not change the DOM's event model much, here is a program
+that writes "Hello simulated universe" on a button click:
+
+```nim
+
+include karax / prelude
+# alternatively: import karax / [kbase, vdom, kdom, vstyles, karax, karaxdsl, jdict, jstrutils, jjson]
+
+var lines: seq[kstring] = @[]
+
+proc createDom(): VNode =
+  result = buildHtml(tdiv):
+    button:
+      text "Say hello!"
+      proc onclick(ev: Event; n: VNode) =
+        lines.add "Hello simulated universe"
+    for x in lines:
+      tdiv:
+        text x
+
+setRenderer createDom
+```
+
+``kstring`` is Karax's alias for ``cstring`` (which stands for "compatible
+string"; for the JS target that is an immutable JavaScript string) which
+is preferred for efficiency on the JS target. However, on the native targets
+``kstring`` is mapped  to ``string`` for efficiency. The DSL for HTML
+construction is also avaible for the native targets (!) and the ``kstring``
+abstraction helps to deal with these conflicting requirements.
+
+Karax's DSL is quite flexible when it comes to event handlers, so the
+following syntax is also supported:
+
+```nim
+
+include karax / prelude
+from sugar import `=>`
+
+var lines: seq[kstring] = @[]
+
+proc createDom(): VNode =
+  result = buildHtml(tdiv):
+    button(onclick = () => lines.add "Hello simulated universe"):
+      text "Say hello!"
+    for x in lines:
+      tdiv:
+        text x
+
+setRenderer createDom
+```
+
+The ``buildHtml`` macro produces this code for us:
+
+```nim
+
+let tmp2 = tree(VNodeKind.tdiv)
+let tmp3 = tree(VNodeKind.button)
+addEventHandler(tmp3, EventKind.onclick,
+                () => lines.add "Hello simulated universe", kxi)
+add(tmp3, text "Say hello!")
+add(tmp2, tmp3)
+for x in lines:
+  let tmp4 = tree(VNodeKind.tdiv)
+  add(tmp4, text x)
+  add(tmp2, tmp4)
+tmp2
+```
+As the examples grow larger it becomes more and more visible of what
+a DSL that composes with the builtin Nim control flow constructs buys us.
+Once you have tasted this power there is no going back and languages
+without AST based macro system simply don't cut it anymore.
+
+
+## Attaching data to an event handler
+
+
+Since the type of an event handler is ``(ev: Event; n: VNode)`` or ``()`` any
+additional data that should be passed to the event handler needs to be
+done via Nim's closures. In general this means a pattern like this:
+
+```nim
+
+proc menuAction(menuEntry: kstring): proc() =
+  result = proc() =
+    echo "clicked ", menuEntry
+
+proc buildMenu(menu: seq[kstring]): VNode =
+  result = buildHtml(tdiv):
+    for m in menu:
+      nav(class="navbar is-primary"):
+        tdiv(class="navbar-brand"):
+          a(class="navbar-item", onclick = menuAction(m)):
+```
+
+## DOM diffing
+
+Ok, so now we have seen DOM creation and event handlers. But how does
+Karax actually keep the DOM up to date? The trick is that every event
+handler is wrapped in a helper proc that triggers a *redraw* operation
+that calls the *renderer* that you initially passed to ``setRenderer``.
+So a new virtual DOM is created and compared against the previous
+virtual DOM. This comparison produces a patch set that is then applied
+to the real DOM the browser uses internally. This process is called
+"virtual DOM diffing" and other frameworks, most notably Facebook's
+*React*, do quite similar things. The virtual DOM is faster to create
+and manipulate than the real DOM so this approach is quite efficient.
+
+
+## Form validation
+Most applications these days have some "login"
+mechanism consisting of ``username`` and ``password`` and
+a ``login`` button. The login button should only be clickable
+if ``username`` and ``password`` are not empty. An error
+message should be shown as long as one input field is empty.
+
+To create new UI elements we write a ``loginField`` proc that
+returns a ``VNode``:
+
+```nim
+
+proc loginField(desc, field, class: kstring;
+                validator: proc (field: kstring): proc ()): VNode =
+  result = buildHtml(tdiv):
+    label(`for` = field):
+      text desc
+    input(class = class, id = field, onchange = validator(field))
+```
+
+We use the ``karax / errors`` module to help with this error
+logic. The ``errors`` module is mostly a mapping from strings to
+strings but it turned out that the logic is tricky enough to warrant
+a library solution. ``validateNotEmpty`` returns a closure that
+captures the ``field`` parameter:
+
+```nim
+
+proc validateNotEmpty(field: kstring): proc () =
+  result = proc () =
+    let x = getVNodeById(field).getInputText
+    if x.isNil or x == "":
+      errors.setError(field, field & " must not be empty")
+    else:
+      errors.setError(field, "")
+```
+
+This indirection is required because
+event handlers in Karax need to have the type ``proc ()``
+or ``proc (ev: Event; n: VNode)``. The errors module also
+gives us a handy ``disableOnError`` helper. It returns
+``"disabled"`` if there are errors. Now we have all the
+pieces together to write our login dialog:
+
+
+```nim
+
+# some consts in order to prevent typos:
+const
+  username = kstring"username"
+  password = kstring"password"
+
+var loggedIn: bool
+
+proc loginDialog(): VNode =
+  result = buildHtml(tdiv):
+    if not loggedIn:
+      loginField("Name :", username, "input", validateNotEmpty)
+      loginField("Password: ", password, "password", validateNotEmpty)
+      button(onclick = () => (loggedIn = true), disabled = errors.disableOnError()):
+        text "Login"
+      p:
+        text errors.getError(username)
+      p:
+        text errors.getError(password)
+    else:
+      p:
+        text "You are now logged in."
+
+setRenderer loginDialog
+```
+
+(Full example [here](https://github.com/karaxnim/karax/blob/master/examples/login.nim).)
+
+This code still has a bug though, when you run it, the ``login`` button is not
+disabled until some input fields are validated! This is easily fixed,
+at initialization we have to do:
+
+```nim
+
+setError username, username & " must not be empty"
+setError password, password & " must not be empty"
+```
+There are likely more elegant solutions to this problem.
+
+## Routing
+
+
+For routing ``setRenderer`` can be called with a callback that takes a parameter of
+type ``RouterData``. Here is the relevant excerpt from the famous "Todo App" example:
+
+```nim
+
+proc createDom(data: RouterData): VNode =
+  if data.hashPart == "#/": filter = all
+  elif data.hashPart == "#/completed": filter = completed
+  elif data.hashPart == "#/active": filter = active
+  result = buildHtml(tdiv(class="todomvc-wrapper")):
+    section(class = "todoapp"):
+        ...
+
+setRenderer createDom
+```
+(Full example [here](https://github.com/karaxnim/karax/blob/master/examples/todoapp/todoapp.nim).)
+
+## Server Side HTML Rendering
+
+Karax can also be used to render HTML on the server.  Only a subset of
+modules can be used since there is no JS interpreter.
+
+```nim
+
+import karax / [karaxdsl, vdom]
+
+const places = @["boston", "cleveland", "los angeles", "new orleans"]
+
+proc render*(): string =
+  let vnode = buildHtml(tdiv(class = "mt-3")):
+    h1: text "My Web Page"
+    p: text "Hello world"
+    ul:
+      for place in places:
+        li: text place
+    dl:
+      dt: text "Can I use Karax for client side single page apps?"
+      dd: text "Yes"
+
+      dt: text "Can I use Karax for server side HTML rendering?"
+      dd: text "Yes"
+  result = $vnode
+
+echo render()
+```
+## Generate HTML with event handlers
+
+If you are writing a static site generator or do server-side HTML rendering
+via ``nim c``, you may want to override ``addEventHandler`` when using event
+handlers to avoid compiler complaints.
+
+Here's an example of auto submit a dropdown when a value is selected:
+
+```nim
+
+template kxi(): int = 0
+template addEventHandler(n: VNode; k: EventKind; action: string; kxi: int) =
+  n.setAttr($k, action)
+
+let
+  names = @["nim", "c", "python"]
+  selected_name = request.params.getOrDefault("name")
+  hello = buildHtml(html):
+    form(`method` = "get"):
+      select(name="name", onchange="this.form.submit()"):
+        for name in names:
+          if name == selected_name:
+            option(selected = ""): text name
+          else:
+            option: text name
+```
