It's inspired by [David Walsh's blogpost](https://davidwalsh.name/create-html-elements-php-htmlelement-class) but further improved. ``` use Vdhicts\HtmlElement\HtmlElement; // Create new html element with attribute name $selectElement = new HtmlElement('select'); $selectElement->setAttribute('name', 'something'); $selectElement->generate(); // Create new html element with text and attribute $paragraphElement = new HtmlElement('p', 'text', ['class' => 'center']); ``` Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) This package requires PHP 7.4 or higher. Installation ------------ [](#installation) You can install the package via composer: ``` composer require vdhicts/html-element ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) A new html element can be created with: ``` use Vdhicts\HtmlElement\HtmlElement; $containerElement = new HtmlElement('div'); $containerElement->setAttribute('class', 'container'); ``` The element could contain text: ``` $containerElement->setText('Hello World'); ``` The element could have one or more attributes: ``` // One attribute $containerElement->setAttribute('class', 'container'); // Multiple attributes $containerElement->setAttributes(['class' => 'container', 'role' => 'container']); ``` Or the element could contain another html element: ``` $colElement = new HtmlElement('div', '', ['class' => 'col-md-6']); $rowElement = new HtmlElement('div', '', ['class' => 'row']); $rowElement->inject($colElement); $containerElement->inject($rowElement); ``` The text and attributes can also be added, which merges with existing text or attributes.
