Welcome to the exciting world of See-Phit, a modern C++ library that transforms how we deal with HTML templating! Have you been frustrated with stringly typed HTML? Well, See-Phit is here to bring some order and structure to the chaos by allowing you to write HTML directly as C++ string literals, compiling it efficiently at compile time.

What You Need

• Modern C++ Compiler (C++14 is required)
• See-Phit Library

Getting Started with See-Phit

To use See-Phit, you’ll need to follow a few simple steps. Imagine you are an artist crafting a beautiful painting. Instead of random strokes, you want to create a structured piece, just like See-Phit does with HTML. Here’s how to do it:

#include 
#include "seephit.h"

using namespace std;

int main() {
    constexpr auto parser =
        R*(    
            
                
 
                    {name} is a {profession} in {city} 
                
            
        )*_html;

    spt::tree spt_tree(parser);
    spt::template_dict dct;
    dct["name"] = "Mary";
    dct["profession"] = "doctor";
    dct["city"] = "London";

    spt_tree.root.render(cerr, dct);
    cerr << endl;

    dct["city"] = "New York";
    dct["name"] = "John";
    dct["profession"] = "janitor";
    spt_tree.root.render(cerr, dct);
    cerr << endl;

    return 0;
}

Understanding the Code

This code works like a recipe, guiding the computer on how to create your HTML dish:

• Ingredients: You define your HTML structure using the `parser` variable, where placeholders like {name}, {profession}, and {city} act like blank spaces in a fill-in-the-blank story.
• Mixing the Ingredients: You create a dictionary (`dct`) to hold your values, which is akin to a chef preparing ingredients before cooking.
• Cooking Time: The `render` function takes the dictionary and fills in the blanks, instantly creating a fully formed HTML structure!

Output

The result will be two sets of HTML that will look like:

HTML

    
 
        Mary is a doctor in London 
    

HTML

    
 
        John is a janitor in New York 
    

Troubleshooting Tips

Sometimes, even the best artists encounter issues. Here’s what you can do:

• Malformed HTML: If your HTML is poorly structured, the code will fail to compile. For instance, a mismatched tag will lead to errors. Pay close attention and make use of the compiler's error messages, as they will indicate where the problem lies.
• Limitations: Be aware that the library limits the number of nodes and attributes to 1024. If your project is bigger than this, consider splitting it.
