PHP HTML abstraction, Create html elements

### Installation

[](#installation)

`composer require fischimglas/ptag`

### Usage

[](#usage)

- Create any HTML element with `HtmlFactory::($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

[](#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: `Link`

### Empty container

[](#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 contentLink`

### Configure mode (HTML5 / XHTML)

[](#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: ``
