Detailed Description

Represents an abstract interactable element.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

__construct	(		$label,

	)

Constructs a new element to interact e.g. button or link

Parameters

string	$label	the label of the button
array	$attributes	the attributes of the button element

Member Function Documentation

static __callStatic (   $name,   $args  )

static

Magic method (triggered when invoking inaccessible methods in a static context) used to dynamically create an interactable element with an additional CSSclass. This works for every static method call matching: /^create(.+)/ The matched group is used as CSS class for the interactable element.

echo Button::createSubmit();

# => <button ... class="submit">...

Parameters

string	$name	name of the method being called
array	$args	enumerated array containing the parameters passed to the $name'ed method

Returns

Interactable returns a Button, if $name =~ /^create/

Exceptions

throws

a BadMethodCallException if $name does not match

static create (   $label = NULL,   $trait = NULL,   $attributes = array()  )

static

Easy factory method to create an Interactable instance. All parameters are optional.

// example using subclass Button

echo Button::create();
# => <button type="submit" name="ok">ok</button>

echo Button::create('Yes')
# => <button type="submit" name="yes">yes</button>

echo Button::create('Yes', 'aName')
# => <button type="submit" name="aName">yes</button>

echo Button::create('Yes', array('a' => 1, 'b' => 2))
# => <button type="submit" a="1" b="2" name="yes">yes</button>

echo Button::create('Yes', 'aName', array('a' => 1, 'b' => 2)),
# => <button type="submit" a="1" b="2" name="aName">yes</button>

Parameters

string	$label	the label of the current element
string	$trait	the specific trait of the current element
array	$attributes	the attributes of the button element

Returns

returns a Interactable element

static createAccept (   $label = NULL,   $trait = NULL,   $attributes = array()  )

static

Convenience method used for autocompletion hints by your editor.

Without this method __callStatic would do the same.

Parameters

string	$label	the label of the current element
string	$trait	the specific trait of the current element
array	$attributes	the attributes of the button element

static createCancel (   $label = NULL,   $trait = NULL,   $attributes = array()  )

static

Convenience method used for autocompletion hints by your editor.

Without this method __callStatic would do the same.

Parameters

string	$label	the label of the current element
string	$trait	the specific trait of the current element
array	$attributes	the attributes of the button element

initialize (   $label,   $trait,   $attributes  )

abstractprotected

Initialize an interactable element. The parameters to create are handed over to enable subclass specific customization.

Parameters

string	$label	the label of the current element
