A script to convert raw html to swift/elementary syntax

[alephao]

I waste a lot of time converting raw html to Swift/Elementary syntax, especially because I use stuff like tailwindui, so I wrote this javascript to do the conversion.

It takes some html as input, like

<div id="myId" class="block w-full bg-red-500">Hello World</div>

and outputs the swift/elementary version

div(.id("myId"), .class("block w-full bg-red-500")) {
  "Hello World"
}

It's not perfect, but it's been working well for me and literally saves me hours of manual converting.

I haven't wrapped it into an executable or plugin, so to use it you need to open your browser console and copy/paste the code, then you update the first line with the html you want to convert. I'm leaving this here, hope it is useful for you.

If you come up with a better UX than copy-pasting to browser console, pleas share 😬
