PHP HTML abstraction, Create html elements

Installation

composer require fischimglas/ptag

Usage

• Create any HTML element with HtmlFactory::<tagName>($attributes, $childContent)
• Add $element->addClass($className) and remove $element->removeClass($className) css classes
• Set $element->setAttribute($attrName,$attrValue) and remove $element->removeAttribute($attrName) attributes
• Set $element->setStyle($attrName,$attrValue) and remove $element->removeStyle($attrName) attributes
• Add attributes with no value $element->setAttribute($attrName)
• Clone elements $element->clone()
• Chain modifications $element->clone()->add($anyContent)->addClass('test')

Basic example

use PTag\HtmlFactory;

echo HtmlFactory::div()
    ->addClass('first-class')
    ->setAttribute('tabindex', 1)
    ->setAttribute('uk-img')
    ->setStyle('background','red')
    ->add(HtmlFactory::a(['href' => '#'], 'Link'))
    ->add(HtmlFactory::img(['src' => 'image.png']));

Result: <div class="first-class" tabindex="1" uk-img style="background:red"><a href="#">Link</a><img src="image.png"></div>

Empty container

If no html tag is defined, the element can be used as empty container. Attributes and classes to the empty container are ignored.

use PTag\HtmlFactory;

echo HtmlFactory::empty()
    ->add('Some content')
    ->addClass('notshown');

Result: Some content<a href="#">Link</a>

Configure mode (HTML5 / XHTML)

By default, HTML5 is assumed and trailing slashes on void elements are avoided. For XHTML, use ElementCf::setMode(ElementCf::MODE_XHML); to require trailing slashes.

use PTag\HtmlFactory;
use PTag\ElementCf;

ElementCf::setMode(ElementCf::MODE_XHML);

echo HtmlFactory::div()
    ->add(HtmlFactory::img(['src' => 'image.png']));

Result: <div><img src="image.png" /></div>
