make string

make-string

Generate HTML from a virtual DOM. Stringified HTML contains a lot of markups, such as :data-coord:

(make-string (div {}))
; "<div data-coord=\"[]\" data-event=\"#{}\"></div>"

It's quite limited, so the only use case is server side rendering. It doesn't have to be a real web server, scripts on Node.js is also fine.

And it's also called "universal rendering", or I would call it "progressive rendering". The rendering process started in Gulp, then in server, and last last in a browser. So it's progressive. Respo needs to make sure the HTML is identical rendered anywhere.
