FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package ui
WebFiori UI
A PHP library for creating HTML documents and DOM manipulation with an object-oriented approach.
Motivations
PHP's built-in DOMDocument works but has friction for HTML generation:
- Verbose — Creating a styled element with text takes 4-5 lines. This library does it in one:
new HTMLNode('div', ['class' => 'x'])->text('hello') - No chaining —
DOMDocumentreturns void on most mutations. This library is fluent. - HTML5 issues —
DOMDocumentis XML-based (libxml2), throws warnings on HTML5 tags, and mishandles void elements - No templates — No built-in support for loading partial HTML with variable slots
- Limited output control —
saveHTML()gives little control over formatting, quoting, or self-closing tags
This library's sweet spot is generating HTML from PHP — pages, emails, components — where a builder pattern and template system give better DX than the W3C DOM API.
This is a DOM builder, not a text-based template engine. If you need template inheritance, compiled templates, or a dedicated syntax (like Blade or Twig), use those instead. Use this library when you want to construct and manipulate HTML programmatically — server-rendered components, email generation, PDF markup, or any case where the structure is driven by logic rather than a layout file.
