html - Write PHP, get HTML
==========================

[](#html---write-php-get-html)

`html` is a small, simple library for HTML markup creation, inspired by [Elm](http://elm-lang.org/).

```
Html::article(["class" => "chapter"], [
  Html::header([
    Html::h1(["class" => "chapter__heading"],
      ["Welcome!"]
    ),
  ]),
  Html::div(
    [
      "class" => "chapter__body",
      "style" => ["text-transform" => "uppercase"]
    ],
    ["Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet"]
  )
])
```

How does it work?
-----------------

[](#how-does-it-work)

Each HTML element is available as a static method on `Html`, along with the arbitrary methods `Html::element` and `Html::emptyElement`.

Both `Html::element` and `Html::emptyElement` take a tag name, followed by attributes. Non-empty elements take a list of children, as well. Everything gets passed in as arrays, both attributes and children. Child elements are recursively rendered, and attributes are rendered according to a predefined ruleset.

The default ruleset is the standard HTML attribute format, `attribute="value"`. There are also formats defined for `style`, `sizes` and `srcset`.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Clone repo, download and unpackage the files, or [install via Composer](https://packagist.org/). The package is available as `lysande/html`.

In the future
-------------

[](#in-the-future)

- Allow elements to define children, without attributes
- React-/JSX-like `true/false` for boolean attributes
- Declare singular children without arrays
