The library is based on [one234ru/html-tag-generator](https://github.com/1234ru/html-tag-generator). Installation ------------ [](#installation) ``` composer require one234ru/html-input-generator ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) To obtain form field's HTML, you need to create field's object, passing two arguments to it's constructor: the field's configuration and a value, corresponding to the field. Converting object to string gives the HTML. In the example below `` is generated, it's value is extracted from the `$_GET` array: ``` $config = [ 'type' => 'text', 'name' => 'something', ]; $value = $_GET['something'] ?? ''; $input = new \One234ru\HTMLinputGenerator($config, $value); $html = strval($input); ``` Almost any configuration includes parameters `type`, `name` и `attr`: - `name` is set as a value of the namesake attribute (if absent, the tag will have no attribute) - `attr` is a list of arbitrary attributes in a form of key-value pairs (including `class`, `placeholder` и `style`) - `type` — defines which type of field will be generated; also affects processing of additional parameters `type` may hold following values. ### `'text'` or empty string [](#text-or-empty-string) An `` is generated. The `value` attribute is set to the second constructor's argument, processed with `htmlspecialchars()`: ``` $config = [ 'type' => 'text', 'name' => 'something', 'attr' => [ 'class' => 'some-class', 'placeholder' => 'Type "something" here' ] ]; $value = 'Text with "quotes" + hackers!'; ``` Result (formatted for readability): ``` ``` `'text'` is a default value for `type` and will be applied if it is empty or absent. ### `'textarea'` [](#textarea) A `` will be generated, with the value is used as contents: ``` $config = [ 'type' => 'textarea', 'name' => 'something', 'attr' => [ 'rows' => 5, 'style' => 'width: 100%; line-height: 1.25;' ] ]; $value = '"quoted" and '; ``` Result (formatted for readability): ``` "quoted" and <script> ``` ### `'checkbox'` and `'radio'` [](#checkbox-and-radio) This variant yields an `` of the corresponding type. The `value` parameter may be specified. If it matches the value passed to the constructor, field's `checked` attribute is turned on: ``` $cfg = [ 'type' => 'checkbox', 'name' => 'something', 'value' => 1, ]; $value = '1'; ``` ``` ``` Non-strict comparison is performed when matching. `false` is returned in the particular case of matching integer `0` and an empty string. ### `'submit'`, `'reset'` [](#submit-reset) An `` of the corresponding type is generated. The `value` parameter, if specified, goes to the namesake attribute. Constructor's second agrument has no effect. ``` $config = [ 'type' => 'submit', 'name' => 'something', 'value' => 'text on the button' ]; $value = 'whatever'; ``` ``` ``` ### `'hidden'` [](#hidden) `` may be generated with `value` attribute coming from HTTP query: ``` $config = [ 'name' => 'secret', 'type' => 'hidden', ]; $value = 'custom'; ``` ``` ``` If `value` is explicit, second agrument will be ignored: ``` $config = [ 'name' => 'secret', 'type' => 'hidden', 'value' => 'steady' ]; $value = 'custom'; // ignored ``` ``` ``` ### `'file'` [](#file) Yields ``. Other working parameters are `name` and `attr`. ### `'select'` [](#select) A `` tag is generated. `options`, `optgroups` and `multiple` join standard configuration parameters. #### `options` parameter [](#options-parameter) Holds list of options, any of which may be declared in two ways: 1. As an array with keys `value`, `text` and, optionally, `attr`. `value` becomes namesake's attribute value, `text` — `` tag's contents. 2. As a key-value pair. In this case a key is treated as `value`, and a value — as `text`. If an option's `value` matches the value passed to constructor, it's `selected` attribute is set: ``` $config = [ 'type' => 'select', 'name' => 'something', 'options' => [ '' => '(choose)', 1 => 'One', 2 => 'Two', [ 'value' => 3, 'text' => 'Three', 'attr' => [ 'data-something' => 'Something', ] ] ] ]; $value = '3'; ``` HTML (formatted for readability): ``` (choose) One Two Three ``` #### `multiple` flag [](#multiple-flag) Turning this parameter on sets the namesake attribute and also affects two major aspects: 1. The `name` attribute is appended with a pair of empty brackets — `[]`. So ***don't put `[]` there yourself***. 2. The way of matching options' values to the value, passed to constructor, is changed: search in array is done instead of simple comparison. ``` $config = [ 'type' => 'select', 'name' => 'something', 'multiple' => true, 'options' => [ '' => '(choose)', 1 => 'One', 2 => 'Two', 3 => 'Three', ] ]; $value = [ '1', '3' ]; ``` ``` (choose) One Two Three ``` #### `optgroups` parameter [](#optgroups-parameter) This parameter groups options into `` tags. This tags may also have attributes, particularly `label` — visible group title. Groups and standalone options may coexist. ``` $config = [ 'type' => 'select', 'name' => 'something', 'options' => [ '' => '(choose)', ], 'optgroups' => [ [ 'attr' => [ 'label' => 'First group', ], 'options' => [ 1 => 'One', 2 => 'Two', ] ], [ 'attr' => [ 'label' => 'Second group', ], 'options' => [ 3 => 'Three', 4 => 'Four', ] ] ] ]; $value = '3'; ``` ``` (choose) One Two Three Four ``` ### Any other `type` value [](#any-other-type-value) If a value doesn't fall under any of the cases above, an `` tag is generated, `type` goes straight to tag's namesake attribute, while the value passed to constructor — to tag's `value` attribute. Result is very similar to `type='text'` case. ``` $config = [ 'type' => 'tel', 'name' => 'something', 'attr' => [ 'placeholder' => 'Enter your phone' ] ]; $value = '+74950000000'; ``` ``` ``` ### Health Score 20 — LowBetter than 13% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity6 Limited adoption so far Community9 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity38 Early-stage or recently created project Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
