This fragment:

```
use Maxonfjvipon\Phtml\at;
use function Maxonfjvipon\Phtml\{html5, attr, head, meta, title, link, text};

html5(attr([at::lang => 'en']),
  head(
    meta(attr([at::http_equiv => 'Content-Type', at::content => 'text/html', at::charset => 'UTF-8'])),
    title(text("Title")),
    link(attr(["href" => "/css/custom.css", "rel" => "stylesheet"]))
  )
)->asString();
```

will be turned into this html:

```
>

    Title

```

Getting started:
----------------

[](#getting-started)

### Requirements

[](#requirements)

- PHP >= 8.0

### Installation

[](#installation)

```
composer require maxonfjvipon/phtml

```

Examples
--------

[](#examples)

### basic:

[](#basic)

Library provides all html tags as functions with only one exception - ``. PHP does not allow you to create function named `var` since this word is reserved. So to create `` tag use `_var` function

#### ***(if you know more elegant way to handle this `` - please create an issue)***

[](#if-you-know-more-elegant-way-to-handle-this-varvar---please-create-an-issue)

This code

```
use function Maxonfjvipon\Phtml\{html5, head, body, div, _var, text};

html5(
  head(),
  body(
    div(
      _var(text("Hello world!"))
    )
  )
)->asString();
```

will render to you this html:

```
>

      Hello world!

```

### Attributes:

[](#attributes)

To add attributes to your tag you should use `attr` function. Function accepts an array with arguments. Array may has `'key' => 'value'` and just `'value'` elements:

```
use function Maxonfjvipon\Phtml\{a, attr};

a(attr(['href' => '/some/url', "download"]))->asString(); //
```

Attributes will be rendered only if they are at the first place. Other attributes on other places will be ignored.

```
use function Maxonfjvipon\Phtml\{a, attr};

div(attr(['class' => 'div']), div())->asString(); //
div(div(), attr(['class' => 'div']))->asString(); //
```

Library provides helper class `Maxonfjvipon\Phtml\at` that contains all existed html attributes as consts. You can use it in this way:

```
use Maxonfjvipon\Phtml\at;
use function Maxonfjvipon\Phtml\{html5, attr};

html5(attr([at::lang => "en"]))->asString(); //
```

#### Note!

[](#note)

`at::class` will return you `\Maxonfjvipon\Phtml\at` instead of expected `'class'` (since `::class` is reserved by PHP)

#### ***(if it's possible to override this `::class` and you know how to do it - please create an issue)***

[](#if-its-possible-to-override-this-class-and-you-know-how-to-do-it---please-create-an-issue)

To get `'class'` string from `at` you can do `at::_class` or `at::$class`. Or you can just write it manually

```
use Maxonfjvipon\Phtml\at;
use function Maxonfjvipon\Phtml\{html5, attr};

attr([at::class => 'main'])->asString(); // \Maxonfjvipon\Phtml\at='main'
attr(['class' => 'main'])->asString(); // class='main'
attr([at::$class => 'main'])->asString(); // class='main'
attr([at::_class => 'main'])->asString(); // class='main'
```

### Helpers:

[](#helpers)

#### Custom tags

[](#custom-tags)

You can create your custom tags using 2 helper functions: `paired` and `unpaired`:

```
use function Maxonfjvipon\Phtml\{unpaired, paired};

unpaired('somebody', attr(['class' => 'custom unpaired']))->asString(); //
paired('somebody', attr(['class' => 'custom paired']))->asString(); //
```

If you want to add many tags (for example from array) you can use `tags` function:

```
use function Maxonfjvipon\Phtml\{tags, div, unpaired, link};

tags(div(), unpaired('my'), link())->asString(); //
```

#### Strings, Tags and Texts

[](#strings-tags-and-texts)

Library is based on `Maxonfjvipon\ElegantElephant\Txt` class from [ElegantElephant](https://github.com/maxonfjvipon/ElegantElephant). So besides attributes every paired tag can accept other tags, strings and Texts.

This tag:

```
use Maxonfjvipon\ElegantElephant\TxtOf;
use function Maxonfjvipon\Phtml\{div, link};

div(attr(['class' => 'main']),
  link(), // other tag
  TxtOf::str('text'), // Text
  text("alias"), // wrap string to Maxonfjvipon\ElegantElephant\Txt
  "just string",
)->asString();
```

will be turned into:

```

  \n
  text\n
  alias\n
  just string\n

```

#### Import

[](#import)

If you want to use all available tags and functions you have to add this import.

#### ***(if you know how to make this whole import shorter - please create an issue)***

[](#if-you-know-how-to-make-this-whole-import-shorter---please-create-an-issue)

Keep in mind that some tag functions have the same name as built in php functions (like `\header()`, `\time()`, etc). So make sure that you have imported these functions before using them.
