Safely rendering for WordPress, the OOP way.

Install

Installation should be done via composer, details of how to install composer can be found at https://getcomposer.org/.

$ composer require typisttech/wp-kses-view

You should put all WP Kses View classes under your own namespace to avoid class name conflicts.

Usage

Static Example

<?php
// This is `template.php`.

echo '<h1>Hello World!</h1>';
echo '<p>Using PHP echo</p>';

?>

<p>Or, it can be plain HTML</p>
<script>alert('XSS hacking!');</script>
use TypistTech\WPKsesView\View;

$template = '/path/to/template.php';
$view = new Factory::build($template);

$view->render();
// This echos:
// <h1>Hello World!</h1>
// <p>Using PHP echo</p>
// <p>Or, it can be plain HTML</p>
// alert('XSS hacking!');

Note that <script> has been sanitized.

Render with Context Example

// This is `template.php`.

printf(
    '%1$s has %2$d dragons.',
    $context->name,
    $context->dragons
);
use TypistTech\WPKsesView\View;

$template = '/path/to/template.php';
$context = (object) [
    'name' => 'Daenerys Targaryen',
    'dragons' => 3,
];
$view = new Factory::build($template);

$view->render($context);
// This echos:
// Daenerys Targaryen has 3 dragons.

View

__construct(string $template, array $allowedHtml)

View constructor.

  • @param string $template Filename of the template to render.
  • @param array $allowedHtml List of allowed HTML elements.

$allowedHtml will later be passed to wp_kses.

wp_kses_allowed_html('post') is a good start if you not sure which HTML tags to use.

$template = '/path/to/my/template.php';

$view = new View(
    $template,
    wp_kses_allowed_html('post')
);

render($context = null)

Echo the view safely with optional context object.

  • @param mixed $context Optional. Context object for which to render the view.
$view->render();

$view->render($someObject);

toHtml($context = null): string

Convert the view to safe HTML.

  • @param mixed $context Optional. Context object for which to render the view.
$html = $view->toHtml();

$htmlWithContext = $view->toHtml($someObject);

If you pass in a context object, you can reference it in your template as $context. Think $context as the M in MVC pattern.

Template

A template can be anything, not limited to .php files. Common use cases are:

  • .php
  • .html
  • .js

If you pass in a context object, you can reference it in your template as $context.

Think templates are .erb files under app/view directory in a Rails app.

Helpers

This package provides Factory, ViewAwareTrait and NullView to reduce boilerplate code for common use cases. Check their well-documented source code and their tests to learn more.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why some HTML tags are stripped out?

This is the heart of this package, removing dangerous HTML tags during rendering.

To allow a HTML tag:

  • Add the tag when instantiating a view object.

Check wp_kses's document to learn more.

When in doubt, wp_kses_allowed_html('post') is a good start.
