Using Rust idioms to construct VDOM

[ranile]

I've been working on a library, yew-dsl (better name desired, suggestions are welcome) that enables the user to construct and use Yew's virtual DOM using Rust functions, instead of a macro like html!. See #1168 to learn about how this approach is better than using macros.

malvolio by @teymour-aldridge is an alternative to this. malvolio's primary focus seems to be raw-HTML generation while also providing support for Yew whereas yew-dsl is only for Yew's VDOM construction.

yew-dsl is not yet published on crates.io, so please see the doc comments in lib.rs for API documentation. I'd love to hear feedback/opinions about this.

Future plans

• Add builder for props (originally suggested in Construct props using builder pattern #1832)

I don't think you should use dsl in your name. DSL means "domain-specific language" so macros basically. Since this is an implementation of the builder pattern, maybe yew-builder?

[ranile]

I'm not sure if yew-builder is the best name, considering I want to also add macros in the future

Love this idea!
