Module Eliom_toolsSource

Helpers for (hierarchical) menu generation in HTML5. See the Eliom manual for more information about <<a_manual chapter="misc" fragment="basic_menu"| menu>> or <<a_manual chapter="misc" fragment="hier_menu"| hierarchical site>>.

Sourcetype srv =
  1. | Srv : (unit, unit, Eliom_service.get, _, _, _, _, [ `WithoutSuffix ], unit, unit, Eliom_service.non_ocaml) Eliom_service.t -> srv
Sourcetype 'a hierarchical_site = main_page * ('a * 'a hierarchical_site_item) list

Hierarchical sites description. This is a pair (main page, subpages list). Each subpage is defined by the text to be displayed in menus and a hierarchical_site_item.

Sourceand 'a hierarchical_site_item =
  1. | Disabled
  2. | Site_tree of 'a hierarchical_site

Menu entry description in a hierarchical site.

Sourceand main_page =
  1. | Main_page of srv
    (*

    Main page for your subsite: all the subpages are subsections of that page.

    *)
  2. | Default_page of srv
    (*

    Like Main_page but is not taken into account for computing which is the current page in the menu. Use it for example when there is no main page, but you want one of the subpages to be the default page for your subsite. The service you use as default page must appear another time in the subtree!

    *)
  3. | Not_clickable
    (*

    When you do not want the menu entry to be a link but you want subpages.

    *)

Main page description for a section of a hierarchical site.

Other tools

Sourceval wrap_handler : (unit -> 'a option Lwt.t) -> ('get -> 'post -> 'res Lwt.t) -> ('a -> 'get -> 'post -> 'res Lwt.t) -> 'get -> 'post -> 'res Lwt.t

This function allows one to wrap a service handler easily depending on whether certain information is available or not.

The first arguments provides that information (Some value) of not (None), the second argument is called just with two arguments when the information is not available (the two arguments are suggesting GET and POST parameters of a request). The third argument is called with that information if available and the parameters.
