README

This is a lightweight PHP script that makes easy generating a Twitter Bootstrap 3 grid using PHP. It uses the default Twitter bootstrap classes like .row and .col-* to generate the grids. It's pretty straightforward to use, it allows to specify how many columns per row to have for each Bootstrap viewport (xs, sm, md, lg)

Installation

Composer

You can install it with composer, you need to have composer installed and you are good to go!

composer require gdarko/twitter-bootstrap-grid

I don't know what Composer is

I don't recommend this way but you can always download the latest release and require the class.

require "twitter-bootstrap-grid/src/TwitterBootstrapGrid.class.php"

How to Use

Few examples how to use the script:

Example #1

You can use the addColumn method to add a column to the grid and later build. The constructor accepts array of columns as a second parameter

use gdarko\Tools\TwitterBootstrapGrid;

$grid = new TwitterBootstrapGrid( $row_columns = 4 );
$columns = ["1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7"];
foreach($columns as $column){
    $grid->addColumn($column);
}
echo $grid->build();

Example #2

You can use the setTotalRowColumns method to change the number of columns for a given viewport per row. In this example we are using 2 columns for "lg" classes. So one of the column classes will be .col-sm-6

use gdarko\Tools\TwitterBootstrapGrid;

$columns = ["1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7"];
$grid = new TwitterBootstrapGrid( $row_columns = 4, $columns );
$grid->setTotalRowColumns(2, "lg");
echo $grid->build();

Example #3

You have a large templates that need to be printed? No problem. You can combine it with output buffering.

use gdarko\Tools\TwitterBootstrapGrid;

$grid = new TwitterBootstrapGrid( $row_columns = 3 );
foreach($objects as $object){
    ob_start();
    include('templates/display-orange.php');
    $content = ob_get_clean();
    $grid->addColumn($content);
}
$grid->setTotalRowColumns(3, "sm");
echo $grid->build();

Example #4

Do you want to build a fluid grids? For example you have 3 columns per row on large screens and two columns per row on mobiles. It's not that easy with the default Bootstrap aproach. This snippet will make your life easier.

use gdarko\Tools\TwitterBootstrapGrid;

$grid = new TwitterBootstrapGrid();
//Demo data, ignore it
for($i = 0; $i < 9; $i++){
    $grid->addColumn($i . "");
}

$grid->setCustomTotalRowColumns($grid->getColumnsCount());
$grid->setCustomColumnClass("col-lg-4", "lg");
$grid->setCustomColumnClass("col-xs-6", "xs");

echo $grid->build();

Pretty straightforward, huh?
