Demo: [http://test.matteohertel.uk/mh\_widget/](http://test.matteohertel.uk/mh_widget/)

Flexible, highly configurable widget system replace an HTML place holder with any content.

The main purpose for this package was to be used alongside a text editor like CKEditor to implement a flexible widget system for the end user([http://docs.ckeditor.com/#!/guide/widget\_sdk\_tutorial\_1](http://docs.ckeditor.com/#!/guide/widget_sdk_tutorial_1))

This package will provide a nice and neat interface to create widgets ready to use in any project, there are a lots of feature straight out of the box, but with its flexible nature can fit any need.

There are two main ways to use this package:

- Use the widget system standalone as easy way to render HTML
- Use the widget system with the integrated parser

To use the widget standalone:

1. Create an instance of \\MHDev\\WidgetCore\\MH\_Widget
2. Call the instance as a function (to trigger the magic `__invkoke`) passing two arguments (one optional): namespace, config array
3. under the hood the class will:
    - create a new instance of the requested widget in the given namespace(or use the default one \\MHDev\\Widgets\\ and pass the config object
    - call the instance as function (to trigger the magic `__invkoke`) and return the result

### The single widget workflow is:

[](#the-single-widget-workflow-is)

1. from the magic invoke the the `controller` method is called
2. the `controller` method call the `model` method to get data
3. the `controlle`r will call and return the view method passing the data from the model
    - if the `prevent_view` kay is found in the config array the controller will return the data from the model without call the view

\###Using the parser With the integrated parser you can use a custom non-standard html tag mhwidget with attributes to render content from the widget, and example of a working tag:

```
Gravatar

```

\##Under the hood

To be a proper widget the class must extend the WidgetAbstract class and override the `__invoke`, `controller`, `model` and `view` methods,

\##Usage

Simple hello world

```
$widget = new \MHDev\WidgetCore\MH_Widget("\MHDev\Widgets\\");
echo $widget("Example\HelloWorld");

```

Gravatar

```
$widget = new \MHDev\WidgetCore\MH_Widget("\MHDev\Widgets\\");
echo $widget("Gravatar", ["email" => "info@matteohertel.com", "size" => 80]);

```

\##Example To see the package in action run the following(php must be available in the console):

```
git clone https://github.com/matteo-hertel/MH_Widget.git
cd MH_Widget
php -S localhost:8080 -t ./Example

```
