README

This package contains an interface used to render objects in HTML. Basically, instances of classes implementing this interface provide a toHtml method that can be used to get some HTML.

The concept is very abstract, but also very powerful. Let's take a sample:

• you might write a "HtmlButtonElement" class that would render a simple HTML button.
• you might write a "HtmlCalendarElement" class that would render a calendar.
• you might write a "HtmlTemplateElement" class that would render a full template.
• ...

Obviously, this package is useless on its own. It is useful only if you implement the interface in your classes.

In practice

Implementing the HtmlElementInterface is simple stupid: just add a "toHtml" method to your code:

/**
 * Renders the object in HTML.
 * The Html is echoed directly into the output.
 */
function toHtml();

Provided classes

This package comes with a few classes implementing the HtmlElementInterface:

• HtmlString: this class contains a string that is outputed when you call the toHtml method
• HtmlFromFile: this class refers to a PHP file that is required when you call the toHtml method
• HtmlFromFunction: this class refers to a PHP callable (method, function, ...) that is called when you call the toHtml method
