Erector is a Builder-like view framework for Ruby, inspired by Markaby.
In Erector all views are objects, not template files, which allows the full power of object-oriented programming (inheritance, modular decomposition, encapsulation) in views.
require 'erector'
class Hello < Erector::Widget
def content
html {
head {
title "Hello"
}
body {
h1.heading! "Message:"
text "Hello, "
b.big @target
text "!"
}
}
end
end
Hello.new(:target => 'world').to_html

<html>
<head>
<title>Hello</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1 id="heading">Message:</h1>
Hello, <b class="big">world</b>!
</body>
</html>

include Erector::Mixin
erector { div "love", :class => "big" }

<div class="big">love</div> |
require 'erector'
class Logo < Erector::Widget
def content
div.logo {
a(:href => "index.html") {
img.logo :src => 'erector.jpg',
:height => 323,
:width => 287
}
}
end
end

<div class="logo">
<a class="index.html">
<img class="logo" "323"
