Is there a HTML to function-style view tool ?

[devcrafting]

I am converting a HTML hard coded website to Giraffe (for layout, data templating...). It is quite boring to transform HTML to function-style view. I thought a tool could help, an XSLT stylesheet would do the job, any ideas about that ? existing tool in other equiv framework ?

In fact event better, something like https://mbylstra.github.io/html-to-elm/ ;) (or https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Rubymaniac.vscode-html-to-elm)

I don't know of such a tool but if you do find something please let me know as it would be nice to link it in the repo!

I started a fork of html-to-elm https://github.com/devcrafting/html-to-giraffeview
A bit of effort to upgrade to last ELM, and very few modifications to adapt to GiraffeView (very close to ELM view). Far from perfect but working. For example I had to disable all tests, still work to be done to propose a merge

Nice!

Even better, directly online : https://www.devcrafting.com/html-to-giraffeview/ (probably still some issues, I just changed obvious syntax : list, attributes prefixed with _)
