We now no longer check whether we're at a closing
HTML tag by peeking for "</" since that would fail
if there were a {{! }} comment directly before it.
Instead, we tokenize and then rewind. Presumably
this does have an effect on compilation time but it's
probably fine. An alternative would have been to
explicitly parse {{! }} comments rather than implicitly
skipping them before generally parsing tokens.
- Start shrinking html.js down to the 150-line file it can be
- Move "proper case" logic to the template compiler; the tagName of an HTMLjs tag is now in proper case. This is both for better performance and reduced size and complexity of runtime code (i.e. blaze.js).
- Start moving html-tools to the HTMLTools namespace
So, in HTML, the following are equivalent, and both mean that a checkbox is checked, because the `checked` attribute is present:
- `<input type="checkbox" checked>`
- `<input type="checkbox" checked="">`
We can't mess with that. On the other hand, in Spacebars before this commit, the following would *also* result in the checkbox being checked, regardless of whether `foo` evaluates to null, undefined, false, or the empty string:
- `<input type="checkbox" checked={{foo}}>`
- `<input type="checkbox" checked="{{foo}}">`
With this commit, the checkbox will NOT be checked if `foo` evaluates to null, undefined, or false.
To achieve this:
- In HTMLjs, an attribute is considered absent if its value is "nully" after being fully evaluated (i.e. after expanding functions and components via HTML.evaluateDynamicAttributes / HTML.evaluate). A nully value is one consisting of null, undefined, an empty array, or an array of those things. `false` is not nully and renders as "false". An empty string is not nully, and will "prop open" an attribute that would otherwise collapse into absence.
- Spacebars.mustache converts null, undefined, and false to null. So if you use {{foo}} anywhere in a template and foo evaluates to "false", that gets to converted to a null in HTMLjs (which is ignored). (true is rendered as "true".)
- When parsing HTML, an attribute that consists of *no tokens* becomes an empty string in the HTMLjs, which props open the attribute (unlike null or an empty array). (Since comment tokens are stripped during tokenization, if there are only comments in an attribute value that counts as no tokens.)
