Full Dom Format List

The Dom functionality in DTO provides a fluent and elegant way to generate HTML elements directly from your data. Whether you're rendering basic tags, chaining nested elements, or attaching attributes, this library simplifies HTML generation in structured PHP applications.

How It Works

With Traverse Collection

echo $obj->title->domTag("h1.title");
// Result: <h1 class="title">Hello</h1>

echo $obj->title->fallback("Hello World")->domTag("h1.title")->domTag("header#top");
// Result: <header id="top"><h1 class="title">Hello World</h1></header>

As Singleton Helper

use MaplePHP\DTO\Format\Dom;

echo Dom::value("Hello")->tag("h1.title");
// Result: <h1 class="title">Hello</h1>

Full Feature List

tag

The tag method creates an HTML tag. You can optionally define an ID or class by using # or . suffixes (e.g., 'h1.title' or 'h1#title'). Multiple tags can be nested by chaining domTag.

Arguments

Takes a required $tag string for the HTML tag name (optionally suffixed with .class or #id), and an optional $attr array for additional HTML attributes.

$obj = Traverse::value([
    "title" => "Hello"
]);

echo $obj->title->domTag("h1.title");  

// Result: <h1 class="title">Hello</h1>

echo $obj->title->domTag("h1.title")->domTag("header");

// Result: <header><h1 class="title">Hello</h1></header>

build

The build method allows you to construct a DOM element using a fluent chain inside a callable. Useful for applying multiple tag modifications in a single block.

Arguments

Takes a $call which is a callable function that receives the current DOM instance and returns the modified version.

$obj = Traverse::value([
    "title" => "Hello"
]);

echo $obj->title->domBuild(function($dom) {
    return $dom->tag("h1")->class("title")->id("hello-world")->attr(["title" => "Welcome"]);
});

// Result: <h1 class="title" id="hello-world" title="Welcome">Hello</h1>
