I am working on a page for htmx-patterns and I ran into a situation with lots of duplication. Especially when i am using tailwind I run into situations where the duplication can get tedious to maintiain. The solution I found is macros.

Now I can use the same code for all of my links, and call the macro to use it.


{% macro link(id, text, boosted=false) -%}
<a
    class="
    {% if id is none %}
      pointer-events-none bg-terminal-950 text-terminal-900 ring-terminal-900
    {% else %}
      bg-terminal-950 hover:bg-terminal-900 hover:text-terminal-400 text-terminal-500 shadow-lg shadow-terminal-300/20 hover:shadow-terminal-300/30 ring-terminal-300
    {% endif %}
      cursor-pointer block text-center font-bold py-2 px-4 rounded w-full ring-1
    "
    {% if id is not none %}
    href="{{ url_for('boosted', id=id) }}"
    {% endif %}
    {% if boosted %}
    hx-boost="true"
    {% endif %}>
    {{ text }}
</a>
{%- endmacro %}
