nestable-generator
==================

[](#nestable-generator)

This is a small PHP package, to have a generator and parser for the [Nestable2](https://github.com/RamonSmit/Nestable2) javascript plugin.

Requirements
============

[](#requirements)

- php ~7.1

Usage
=====

[](#usage)

Instantiating the `NestableGenerator` class
-------------------------------------------

[](#instantiating-the-nestablegenerator-class)

- First of all, an array of elements are needed, which will be the base to generate the json. These elements must implement the `Element` interface. Basic functionality is implemented in the `AbstractElement` class, but it can be skipped if own implementation is needed.
- An object is needed which implements the `NestedElement` interface - this object is the source of the json generation. The `Element` objects are transformed to `NestedElement` objects. These `NestedElements` objects have a children property, to make possible the structure building.
- The `NestableGenerator` object needs only one constructor parameter: an `ElementCollection` object, which are built with the array of `Element` objects. This `ElementCollection` needs an array of the `Element` objects and an empty `NestableElement` object, which will be used as reference.

Generating json
---------------

[](#generating-json)

Once the `NestableGenerator` is created with the `ElementCollection`, just call ` generate()`. It returns the JSON which is needed to [Nestable ](https://github.com/RamonSmit/Nestable2) to generate the block.

Parsing JSON
------------

[](#parsing-json)

[Nestable ](https://github.com/RamonSmit/Nestable2) can send the created structure in json form. To parse this you need to instantiate the `NestableGenerator` class and call `parse($json)`, where the `$json` is the JSON string, generated by [Nestable ](https://github.com/RamonSmit/Nestable2). It returns the array of the `Element` objects.
