defmodule Phoenix.HTML do
@moduledoc """
Building blocks for working with HTML in Phoenix.
This library provides three main functionalities:
* HTML safety
* Form abstractions
* A tiny JavaScript library to enhance applications
## HTML safety
One of the main responsibilities of this package is to
provide convenience functions for escaping and marking
HTML code as safe.
By default, data output in templates is not considered
safe:
<%= "<hello>" %>
will be shown as:
<hello>
User data or data coming from the database is almost never
considered safe. However, in some cases, you may want to tag
it as safe and show its "raw" contents:
<%= raw "<hello>" %>
## Form handling
See `Phoenix.HTML.Form`.
## JavaScript library
This project ships with a tiny bit of JavaScript that listens
to all click events to:
* Support `data-confirm="message"` attributes, which shows
a confirmation modal with the given message
* Support `data-method="patch|post|put|delete"` attributes,
which sends the current click as a PATCH/POST/PUT/DELETE
HTTP request. You will need to add `data-to` with the URL
and `data-csrf` with the CSRF token value
* Dispatch a "phoenix.link.click" event. You can listen to this
event to customize the behaviour above. Returning false from
this event will disable `data-method`. Stopping propagation
will disable `data-confirm`
To use the functionality above, you must load `priv/static/phoenix_html.js`
into your build tool.
### Overriding the default confirmation behaviour
You can override the default implementation by hooking
into `phoenix.link.click`. Here is an example:
```javascript
window.addEventListener('phoenix.link.click', function (e) {
// Introduce custom behaviour
var message = e.target.getAttribute("data-prompt");
var answer = e.target.getAttribute("data-prompt-answer");
if(message && answer && (answer != window.prompt(message))) {
e.preventDefault();
}
}, false);
```

Escapes an enumerable of attributes, returning iodata.
The attributes are rendered in the given order. Note if
a map is given, the key ordering is not guaranteed.
The keys and values can be of any shape, as long as they
implement the `Phoenix.HTML.Safe` protocol. In addition,
if the key is an atom, it will be "dasherized". In other
words, `:phx_value_id` will be converted to `phx-value-id`.
Furthermore, the following attributes provide behaviour:
* `:aria`, `:data`, and `:phx` - they accept a keyword list as
value. `data: [confirm: "are you sure?"]` is converted to
`data-confirm="are you sure?"`.
* `:class` - it accepts a list of classes as argument. Each
element in the list is separated by space. `nil` and `false`
elements are discarded. `class: ["foo", nil, "bar"]` then
becomes `class="foo bar"`.
* `:id` - it is validated raise if a number is given as ID,
which is not allowed by the HTML spec and leads to unpredictable
behaviour.
