Controls

Classes that extend from View are called phpctrl and inherit abilities to render themselves (see Render Tree)

Core Controls

Some Controls serve as a foundation of entire set of other Controls. A lot of qualities implemented by a core component is inherited by its descendants.

• Views
• Table
• Input Fields

Simple Controls

Simple Controls exist for the purpose of abstraction and creating a decent interface which you can rely on when programming your PHP application with PHPControls. In some cases it may make sense to rely on HTML templates for the simple elements such as Icons, but when you are working with dynamic and generic Controls quite often you need to abstract HTML yet let the user have decent control over even the small elements.

• Button
• Label
• Text
• LoremIpsum
• Header
• Icon
• Image
• Message
• HelloWorld

Composite Controls

Composite elements such as CRUD or Form are the bread-and-butter of PHPControls. They will consist out of many sub-elements while making themselves easy-to-use.

Most of composite elements are designed to work with Data Models

• Grid
• Forms
• Paginator
• Columns
