# Printing FastHTML Components

by Audrey M. Roy Greenfeld | Mon, Jul 15, 2024

from fasthtml.common import *

btn = Button("Click me", "btn btn-primary")
btn

type(btn)

str(btn)

Reading https://github.com/fastai/fastcore/blob/master/fastcore/xml.py and https://github.com/fastai/fastcore/blob/master/nbs/11_xml.ipynb I see that an XT is a list with some properties:

btn.tag

btn.children

btn.attrs

Oh, I think I can use this to show the rendered component XML:

to_xml(btn)

highlight(btn)

What about stringifying the Python code for a component?

#|eval: false
import inspect
print(inspect.getsource(btn))
