# Crafter.CppDOM

A C++ DOM library for web applications that allows you to manipulate HTML elements directly from C++.

## New Styling Features

This library now supports comprehensive styling capabilities beyond just inline HTML:

### Style Methods

- `SetStyle(const std::string_view style)` - Sets multiple CSS properties at once
- `SetProperty(const std::string_view property, const std::string_view value)` - Sets a single CSS property
- `AddClass(const std::string_view className)` - Adds a CSS class to the element
- `RemoveClass(const std::string_view className)` - Removes a CSS class from the element
- `ToggleClass(const std::string_view className)` - Toggles a CSS class on the element
- `HasClass(const std::string_view className)` - Checks if the element has a specific CSS class

### Example Usage

```cpp
HtmlElement div("myDiv");

// Set multiple styles at once
div.SetStyle("color: blue; font-size: 20px; background-color: lightgray;");

// Set individual properties
div.SetProperty("border", "2px solid red");
div.SetProperty("padding", "10px");

// Work with CSS classes
div.AddClass("highlight");
div.AddClass("container");
div.ToggleClass("active");
bool isActive = div.HasClass("active");
div.RemoveClass("highlight");
```

### Benefits

1. **Type Safety**: Compile-time checking of method names and parameters
2. **Performance**: More efficient than constructing HTML strings
3. **Maintainability**: Clear separation between content and styling logic
4. **Flexibility**: Support for both inline styles and CSS classes
5. **Developer Experience**: Intuitive API similar to JavaScript DOM
