Introduction ------------ [](#introduction) Alright, so some might say: *"Why in God's name would you need such a thing!?"*. And indeed, we have, I don't know, awesome stuff like [Twig](https://twig.symfony.com/), right!? And you are right! I ❤️ Twig! But in turns out our code base still finds itself with small helper methods that generate tiny snippets of HTML. Take the example below: ``` public function userStateToIcon(User $user): string { return sprintf('', strtolower($user->getState()), $user->getId(), $user->getUsername()): } ``` Now, despite that the above can be optimized still, the last return statement is the one we are trying to simplify: ``` public function userStateToIcon(User $user): HTMLTag { return HTML::create('span') ->class(strtolower($user->getState()) ->id($user->getId()) ->attr('data-username',$user->getUsername()); } ``` Now, in number of characters written, it is not necessarily faster, but it will ensure: 1. Valid HTML is generated 2. Safe HTML is generated 3. Easier modification of the 'HTML' being built afterwards Installation ------------ [](#installation) Our big friend [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) to the rescue using [Packagist](https://packagist.org/) of course: ``` composer require validaide/html-builder ``` ❤️ Composer ❤️ Packagist Examples -------- [](#examples) 1. Plain tag: ``` HTML::create('span') ``` ``` ``` 2. Plain tag with content: ``` HTML::create('h1')->text('Heading 1'); ``` ``` Heading 1 ``` 3. Nested tags: ``` HTML::create('div')->id('div-1)->tag('div')->id('div-2); ``` ``` ``` ### Health Score 60 — FairBetter than 99% of packages Maintenance79 Regular maintenance activity Popularity30 Limited adoption so far Community17 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity94 Battle-tested with a long release history Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 59.7% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
