Is there a way to create the client html document purely through client side scripting?
websharperhtmlui next

I can't seem to find out how to construct client side html document without providing a server side template. In particular, the doc.run and doc.runbyid both require an existing document. Thx.

You will need an initial document else you wouldn't have the <script> tag that loads the code to run. If you just want to save that extra div you can do:

open WebSharper.JavaScript

let Main =
	let body : Dom.Element = JS.Document?body
    
    div []
    |> Doc.Run body

I am surprise there isn't a default value for the initial Html document and holes for it's parts, perhaps as an extension to the Templating module. The need to establish a separate cookie-cutter file in the project just for that purpose seems tedious. Perhaps something like this would be useful in general.

module HtmlPage =
  type Descriptor = {
  	title   : string option
    ...
    body    : Doc option
    }
    with
    static member Default : Descriptor = ...
    static member Mobile  : Descriptor = ...
    
  let createPage (desc:Descriptor) : string = ...
