Renderer Internals
The renderer creates final HTML.
Main file:
src/renderer/renderPage.jsrenderPage(ast)
The renderer receives a resolved page AST-like object containing:
- HTML content
- styles
- scripts
- external styles
- external scripts
- site config
- features
- route path
- SEO object
Legacy document extraction
The renderer can extract <head> and <body> parts from content that already contains a document root.
This supports legacy or full-document page content, but the preferred Curvea model is still:
Page → Layout → DocumentHead generation
Head HTML is generated by buildHeadHtml().
It can include:
- charset
- viewport
- theme runtime
- favicon
- extracted head HTML
- SEO tags
- external CSS
- inline CSS
Body scripts
Body scripts are generated by buildBodyScriptsHtml() and appended to the app HTML.
Document rendering
The renderer calls renderDocumentShell().
The document shell receives:
appheadsitepage
Language and theme attributes
After document rendering, the renderer injects or updates:
langdata-theme-modedata-theme
Base path rewriting
The renderer rewrites root-relative href and src attributes according to site.basePath.
Formatting
The final HTML is formatted through formatHtml().
Raw code tokens are restored after formatting.
