Structuring Pollen libraries #52

Open basus opened 4 years ago

basus commented 4 years ago

As I've been using Pollen to build my website, I've been gradually building up a small library tag functions. They're mostly for the standard HTML5 tags, but also for the Bootstrap framework. I was wondering if there's a good way to structure these so that I can (1) re-use them across projects and maybe (2) release them to other Pollen users who might find them helpful. Currently they are a couple of submodules in my top-level pollen.rkt file.

The most polished way would be to create a package and include Scribble documentation and make it available on the package server.

But if you simply make a GitHub repo with a good README and your code is well-commented, you could start by just creating one or more .rkt files that people can copy into their own projects.

Or maybe just release the source code for the whole project? Bootstrap is popular and I’m sure fellow Bootstrap lovers would enjoy seeing how it can be automated via Pollen.
