An easy to use HTML5 generator written in PHP. Creates valid and secure HTML5 code.
Installation
To install the library I would recommend to use Composer. Execute the following command
$ composer require patrickschur/html5gen
or add this to your composer.json
{
"require": {
"patrickschur/html5gen": "*"
}
}
Because the script is not really big you could also copy the Html5Gen.php out of the src folder to use the script without Composer.
Usage
require 'vendor/autoload.php'; use Html5Gen\Html5Gen as H; // shorthand echo H::html([], function() { H::head(); H::body(); });
outputs:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head></head> <body></body> </html>
Attributes
All elements have one thing in common, all of them expect attributes. That is also the reason why it is the first parameter of all methods. You can specify attributes by an array. Where the key is the name of the attribute and the value the attribute value. If you do not want to specify attributes, leave the array empty. You can also omit the array if you do not use a callback.
echo H::html(['lang' => 'en', 'dir' => 'ltr'], function() { H::head(); H::body([], function () { H::p(['class' => 'foo bar']); }); });
outputs:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en" dir="ltr"> <head></head> <body><p class="foo bar"></p></body> </html>
Callbacks
The second and last parameter is the a callback function defined by the user.
This lets you write a more generic code and allows the nesting of elements.
With the yield keyword it is possible to write text into the current element without terminating the function.
Notice: Elements like
base,br,meta,area,input,wbr,hr,link,param,source,colandimgcan not have a callback, only attributes.
echo H::html([], function() { H::head([], function () { H::meta(['charset' => 'UTF-8']); }); H::body([], function () { foreach (range(0, 10) as $number) { H::p([], function () use ($number) { yield $number; }); } }); });
outputs:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head><meta charset="UTF-8"></head> <body> <p>0</p> <p>1</p> <p>2</p> <p>3</p> <p>4</p> <p>5</p> <p>6</p> <p>7</p> <p>8</p> <p>9</p> <p>10</p> </body> </html>
Automatically Escaped Values
The script will automatically detect if it is useful to escape a value or not.
For example if you want to define a script tag, it would not be useful to escape, because that destroys the logic of a script.
But if you use a pre tag it makes much more sense to escape the value. Also works for attributes.
echo H::html([], function() { H::head([]); H::body([], function () { // A really bad attribute value H::pre(['id' => '"\'"'], function () { yield '<script>alert(1);</script>'; // maybe some user code? }); // Be careful with that and do not use user code in it H::script([], function () { yield 'var x = Math.floor(Math.random() * 100);'; yield 'alert(0 < x < 100);'; }); }); });
outputs:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head></head> <body> <pre id=""'""><script>alert(1);</script></pre> <script>var x = Math.floor(Math.random() * 100);alert(0 < x < 100);</script> </body> </html>
[TODO] Checklist:
- Exists the attribute for the element? (Find a better implementation of that!)
- Is the given attribute value allowed for the specified attribute?
- Is the element allowed in the current element?
- Check the document for bad practices. For example duplicate id references.
- Check the
nonceandintegrityattribute on the correctness.
