Instead of using templates like most other HTML generators, Erector uses objects, allowing anyone with any OOP skills to quickly put together a new HTML page.
Erector can also be used as a RoR plugin.
Here are some key features of "Erector":
· Support for inheritance
· Modular decomposition
· Encapsulation
· OOP-like programming
What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· 'scss' external type [needs tests]
· dot-class and dot-id-bang syntax
· Expanded widget hierarchy; now XMLWidget can be used as the base for a non-HTML widget (for XML formats that may not want the HTML tags and methods)
· 'emit' method as preferred synonym for to_html (since we now support non-HTML widgets)
· 'tag' macro to add your own tag types (esp. to XML widgets)
· :snake_case option to tag (if you want the method name to be nice for a CamelCase tag name)
· Removed dependency on rake gem
· Renamed 'render' method to 'emit' (to reduce confusion with Rails' "render" methods)
· Added missing favicon_link_tag and crsf_meta_tags helper methods
· Added #capture_content as an alias for #capture, so we can call it in a Rails 3.1 app
