A Fluent Interface for Handling HTML Attributes in PHP
======================================================
[](#a-fluent-interface-for-handling-html-attributes-in-php)
The package provides a simple class, inspired by Drupal's Drupal\\Core\\Template\\Attribute, to help manage HTML attributes in a structured way.
I use it primarily in Laravel, so the pseudocode examples below use Laravel conventions. The package, however, is not specific to Laravel and can be used without it.
Examples
--------
[](#examples)
### In a Controller
[](#in-a-controller)
```
use App\Post;
use Jtolj\HtmlAttributes\HtmlAttributes;
$post = Post::find(1);
$post->is_wide = true;
$attributes = new HtmlAttributes();
$attributes
->addClass('card');
->setAttribute('id', "post-{$post->id}");
$attributes->addClassIf('card--wide', $post->is_wide);
echo "$post->escaped_content"
```
### Output
[](#output)
```
Hello World
```
### Using the example Trait with a Eloquent model and Blade template:
[](#using-the-example-trait-with-a-eloquent-model-and-blade-template)
```
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Jtolj\HtmlAttributes\Traits\HasHtmlAttributes;
class Post extends Model
{
use HasHtmlAttributes;
}
```
```
@foreach ($posts as $post)
htmlAttributes()->addClass('card')->addClassIf('even', $loop->even) !!}>
{{ $post->summary }}
@endforeach
```
### Output
[](#output-1)
```
First Post
Second Post
Third Post
```
Escaping and Filtering
----------------------
[](#escaping-and-filtering)
Escaping of attribute names and values is done using the laminas/laminas-escaper package. Attribute keys are escaped using the [escapeHtmlAttr()](https://github.com/laminas/laminas-escaper/blob/2.7.x/src/Escaper.php#L158) method. As of 2.0, attribute values are escaped using the [escapeHtml()](https://github.com/laminas/laminas-escaper/blob/2.7.x/src/Escaper.php#L145) method.
Additionally, by default attribute names starting with 'on' (javascript event handlers) are not output.
You can set your own list of stripped prefixes with the `setUnsafePrefixes(array $prefixes)` method. Attribute names beginning with those prefixes are stripped on output.
You can also turn this behavior off by calling `allowUnsafe()`. This will not filter the list of attribute names before output and will output the value of 'unsafe' attributes fully unescaped (as of 2.0). **Be extremely careful with this behavior to prevent XSS.**
```
use Jtolj\HtmlAttributes\HtmlAttributes;
$attributes = new HtmlAttributes;
$attributes->addClass('card');
$attribute->setAttribute('onclick', 'alert("Hello";)');
$safe_string = (string) $attributes;
//class="card"
$attributes->allowUnsafe();
$unsafe_string = (string) $attributes;
//class="card" onclick="alert(\"Hello\";)"
```
