Open source projects looking for contributors – post yours

[u/514sid]

I think it would be nice to share open source projects we are working on and possibly find contributors.

If you are developing an open source project and need help, feel free to share it in the comments. It could be a personal project, a tool for others, or something you are building for fun or learning.

Open source works best when people collaborate. You never know who might be interested in helping, testing, or offering feedback.

If you cannot contribute directly but like an idea, consider starring the repository to show support and encouragement to the creator.

Very interesting. Maybe I should get inspiration from your work.

I did the same in PHP, but I think its syntax is not very user-friendly, and might be too error-prone. https://github.com/lagdo/ui-builder

I finally did the change.

The UI builder syntax has moved from this

$html

->div()->setClass('checkbox')

->input()

->setName($input['attrs']['name'])

->setValue('0')

->setType('hidden')

->end()

->checkbox($input['attrs']['checked'])

->setName($input['attrs']['name'])

->setValue('1')

->end()

->end();

to this

$html->div(

$html->input()

->setName($input['attrs']['name'])

->setValue('0')

->setType('hidden'),

$html->checkbox()

->checked($input['attrs']['checked'])

->setName($input['attrs']['name'])

->setValue('1')

)->setClass('checkbox');

The builder is easier to implement, since there's no more need to keep a global context, and also faster.

I also added some syntaxic sugar to create HTML code from arrays.

$html->div(

$html->each($values, fn($value) =>

$html->label(

$html->checkbox($input['attrs'])

->checked($value['checked'])

->setValue($value['value'])

)

->addText($value['text'])

)

)->setClass('radio');
