Hyacinth

Hyacinth makes it easy to create HTML with PHP using object-oriented programming.

By the way, don't use this!

I created Hyacinth for fun. There are a lot of these types of projects floating around, but writing HTML with PHP is messy and tightly couples the frontend and backend. If this library seems appealing, you may need to reconsider your app's architecture.

Instead, consider using a template system to handle your HTML.

Simple Example

echo (new Hyacinth\Elements\Div)->setAttribute('style', 'font-style: italic;')
                                ->addContent('Hello, World!');
                                
// <div style="font-style: italic;">Hello, World!</div>

Advanced Example

$list = (new Hyacinth\Elements\Ul)->addContentArray([
    (new Hyacinth\Elements\Li)->setAttribute('id', 'first-list-item')->addContent('First'),
    (new Hyacinth\Elements\Li)->setAttribute('id', 'second-list-item')->addContent('Second'),
    (new Hyacinth\Elements\Li)->setAttribute('id', 'third-list-item')->addContent('Third')
]);

echo $list;

// <ul><li id="first-list-item"></li><li id="second-list-item"></li><li id="third-list-item"></li></ul>

echo $list->getContent()[0]->getAttributeValue('id');

// first-list-item
