lib/manx-utils

[will-hanlen]

adds a forked version of ~tinnus-napbus/manx-utils

the fork adds these 3 arms:

• +get-attribute : get attribute, or null
• +named: get first named descendant, or null
• +value : get value attribute of first named descendant, or null
  • this is the gate you'll use most often

which are useful for writing conversions from node to a poke stud.

Example:

::  con/node-txt
/@  node
/@  txt
/-  _/manx-utils
:-  [%node %txt]
|=  nod=node
^-  txt
%-  crip
(need (~(value manx-utils nod) "new-text"))  ::   THIS LINE ...

::  con/txt-htmx
::  ...
;form
  =hx-post  "/neo/hawk/{...}?stud=txt"
  ;div
    ;div           ::  can be deeply nested
      ;input
        =name  "new-text"            ::  MATCHES ON THIS ATTRIBUTE ...
        =value  "some value"         ::  THEN GETS THIS TAPE
        ;
      ==

what's with all the +cloop?

anything with a cloop was written by ~tinnus-napbus. but it's a loop which transforms the children of the manx in the sample.
