Prototype 2 postmortem

Ok so I finished prototype 2, this stupid idea is actually working? There was very little friction with the planning from parts 4-6, however part 6 in particular had some issues. I had to include function signatures rather than a struct for now. I can switch this over to a better template later. The main issue was that the function had trouble emitting.

I ended up switching my "x-time" naming to passes, so currently there is a client pass, server pass, generation pass, and script pass. This was so I can run over generation multiple times, and emit the js into a file. I also made my wasm engine export to a "index.js" file. However I may also include a style pass. The framework also lazily includes styles in its sheet avoiding unused and empty ones, though I will likely have to add some verification so I can avoid conflicting styles.

I also combined addChild and addChildren into just an add, zig will just check if the input is a tuple and treat it like addChildren used to.

First off I really want to rename onLoad to entry, I feel onLoad was a bit too far into meme land. Im also not the biggest fan of the .u function to apply a style, maybe I could do .with. Its also maybe possible to make a helper instead, and then I could do web.Style(... Properties ...)("contents"), thought thatll be alot of templating. Finally I really will need to add a syntax for child pages. I will need some sort of hash though so I dont have import loops. I think if I do something like this, and skip repeat pages I'll be fine. However it may be nice to hash page data so that parametric pages dont overlap, like if you have 2 seperate pages linked to the same url, the framework should add -n identifiers and warn that the urls dont clash.

const web = @import("the_zig_three");
// main url is index.html
// note there is no .html: I want people to forget its a thing.
pub const main = web.mainFn(@This(), "index");

const Index = @This();

pub fn entry(root: *web.Unit, _: Index) !void {
    try root.add(.{
        "test",
        // post url is post-3.html, this function will generate the page and give an absolute hyperlink
        // This syntax is kinda wordy, maybe I should add a helper function as well?
        web.Style(.{ .tag = "a", .attributes = &.{ .key = "href", .value = web.page(@import("post"), "post-1", .{ .file = "post-1.txt" }) } })(
          "link to post 1",
        ),
        
        // something like this should be a shorthand for it
        web.Link(@import("post"), "post-2", .{ .file = "post-2.txt" })(.{
          "link to post 2",
        }),

        // this should cause 2 seperate links to exist post-1-1 and post-1-2 since the post instance for the url is not identical
        web.Link(@import("post"), "post-1", .{ .file = "post-3.txt" })("link to post 3"),

        // this wont cause 2 seperate links to exist since the post instances for the url are identical, even if the contents arent
        web.Link(@import("post"), "post-1", .{ .file = "post-1.txt" })("link to post 4"),
    });
}
