I've been working on some neat `phlexing` improvements which are now available on phlexing.fun 🧵

* Option for controlling the output of `whitespace`

* Option for generating a Phlex class around the provided input
* Allow to specify a component and parent name
* Suggest a name for the component (if none given)
* Generate a `def initialize()` with kwargs for the ivars and locals used throughout the template

* Automatically register used custom elements which Phlex doesn't know about

All of these features are now available as part of `0.3.0` and on the hosted version.

Some known bugs include:
* ERB within HTML attributes currently trips up the converter

* Some helper/render calls in ERB get prepended with the Phlex `text` helper, even if it isn't right

A screenshot of phlexing.fun showing a more advanced template taken from the railsdevs.com codebase to demonstrate how an advanced conversion might look like. It also shows what issues the converter has at the time being.

I have some ideas to improve this even more:

* Automatically detect the usage of Rails helpers and include the right module/rewrite the helper call in the template

* Eliminate the need for generating `attr_accessor` by rewriting the template to use the ivars directly

* Allow to wrap the generated component in a `module`, i.e `Views::User::Component`

* Provide a CLI for converting in the shell

* Add support for ViewComponents, so that you can provide an additional .rb file and generate the Phlex component with the additional context

The source code is open source - if you think this is interesting and want to take a look at it.

Please open an issue if you are able to break the converter in some way 🙃 Thank you!

@marcoroth I just tried it and it works a treat (aside from the ERB issue you noted in 🧵 ). Nicely done!
