HTMLObject
==========

[](#htmlobject)

HTMLObject is a set of classes to create and manipulate HTML objects abstractions.

Static calls to the classes
---------------------------

[](#static-calls-to-the-classes)

```
echo Element::p('text')->class('foobar');
// text
```

```
$list = List::ul(array('foo', 'bar'));

$link = Link::create('#', 'Someone');
$list->getChild(0)->addClass('active')->setValue('by '.$link);
//
//   foo
//   by Someone
//
```

```
echo Link::create('#foo', 'link')->class('btn btn-success')->blank();
// link
```

Extending the core classes
--------------------------

[](#extending-the-core-classes)

The core classes are meant to be extended and used to create complex patterns. All classes implement tree-crawling properties such as the following :

```
$element = Element::figure();

$element->nest('content') // content

$element->nest('p', 'content') // content

$image = Image::create('img.jpg')->alt('foo'); //
$element->setChild($image, 'thumb');

$element->getChild('thumb') // HtmlObject\Image
$element->nest(array(
  'caption' => Element::figcaption()->nest(array(
    'text' => Element::p('foobar'),
  )),
));

$element->getChild('caption.text')->getValue() // foobar
// OR
$element->captionText->getValue() // foobar
$element->captionText->getParent(0) // figure->caption
$element->captionText->getParent(1) // figure

$element->wrap('div') // ...
$element->wrapValue('div') // ...
```

You can see examples implementations in the [examples](examples) folder.

### Properties injection

[](#properties-injection)

If your class use properties that are at meant to be added to the final array of attributes, you can inject them using the `injectProperties` method. Say you have a `Link` class that has an `url` property, you can overwrite the method like this, and the `$this->url` will get added in the `href` attribute :

```
protected function injectProperties()
{
  return array(
    'href' => $this->url,
  );
}
```

Or if the property bears the property's name you can simply add it to the array of automatically injected properties :

```
protected $injectedProperties = array('href', 'title');

// Will be added as href="#foo"
protected $href = '#foo';

// Will be added as title="title"
protected $title = 'title';

```

### Altering a precreated tree

[](#altering-a-precreated-tree)

HtmlObject allows to use the `open` and `close` to open tags but when your tag has children you sometimes want to open the tree at a particular point to inject data at runtime, you can do it like this :

```
$mediaObject = Element::div([
  'title' => Element::h2('John Doe'),
  'body'  => Element::div(),
]);

echo $mediaObject->openOn('body').'My name is John Doe'.$mediaObject->close();
```

```

  John Doe
  My name is John Doe

```
