CakePHP 3.x Helpers for Bootstrap 3

CakePHP 3.x Helpers for Bootstrap 3

CakePHP 3.0 Helpers to generate HTML with @Twitter Boostrap 3: Html, Form, Modal and Paginator helpers available!

This is the new repository for my CakePHP Bootstrap 3 Helpers (CakePHP 2.0 repository here: https://github.com/Holt59/cakephp-bootstrap3-helpers).

Do not hesitate to...

• Post a github issue if you find a bug or want a new feature.
• Send me a message if you have troubles installing or using the plugin.

Installation

Run composer require holt59/cakephp3-bootstrap3-helpers:dev-master or add the following into your composer.json and run composer update.

"require": {
  "holt59/cakephp3-bootstrap3-helpers": "dev-master"
}

Don't forget to load the plugin in your /config/bootstrap.php file:

Plugin::load('Bootstrap3');

If you do not use composer, simply clone the repository into your plugins/Bootstrap3 folder, and add 'autoload' => true when loading the plugin:

Plugin::load('Bootstrap3', ['autoload' => true]);

How to use?

Just add Helper files into your View/Helpers directory and load the helpers in you controller:

public $helpers = [
    'Html' => [
        'className' => 'Bootstrap3.BootstrapHtml'
    ],
    'Form' => [
        'className' => 'Bootstrap3.BootstrapForm'
    ],
    'Paginator' => [
        'className' => 'Bootstrap3.BootstrapPaginator'
    ],
    'Modal' => [
        'className' => 'Bootstrap3.BootstrapModal'
    ]
];

I tried to keep CakePHP helpers style. You can find the documentation directly in the Helpers files.

Html

Overload of getCrumbList and new functions availables:

echo $this->Html->label('My Label', 'primary') ;

echo $this->Html->badge('1') ;
echo $this->Html->badge('2') ;

echo $this->Html->alert('This is a warning alert!') ;
echo $this->Html->alert('This is a success alert!', 'success');

See the source for full documentation.

Form

Standard CakePHP code working with this helper!

echo $this->Form->create();
echo $this->Form->input('username') ;
echo $this->Form->input('password') ;
echo $this->Form->input('remember') ;
echo $this->Form->submit('Log In') ;
echo $this->Form->end() ;

Will output:

<form method="post" accept-charset="utf-8" role="form" action="/login">
  <div style="display:none;">
    <input class="form-control" value="POST" type="hidden" name="_method" id="_method">
  </div>
  <div class="form-group text">
    <label class=" control-label" for="username">Username</label>
    <input class="form-control" id="username" type="text" name="username">
  </div>
  <div class="form-group password">
    <label class=" control-label" for="password">Password</label>
    <input class="form-control" id="password" type="password" name="password">
  </div>
  <div class="form-group">
    <div class="checkbox">
      <label>
        <input class="form-control" value="0" type="hidden" name="remember" id="remember">
        <input type="checkbox" name="remember" value="1" id="remember">
        Remember me
      </label>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="form-group">
    <input type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" value="Log In">
  </div>
</form>

Added possibility to create inline and horizontal forms: $this->Form->create($myModal, ['horizontal' => true, 'inline' => false]);

echo $this->Form->create(null, ['horizontal' => true]);
echo $this->Form->input('username') ;
echo $this->Form->input('password') ;
echo $this->Form->input('remember') ;
echo $this->Form->submit('Log In') ;
echo $this->Form->end() ;

Will output:

<form method="post" accept-charset="utf-8" class="form-horizontal" role="form" action="/CakePHP3/">
  <div style="display:none;">
    <input class="form-control" value="POST" type="hidden" name="_method" id="_method">
  </div>
  <div class="form-group text">
    <label class="col-md-2 control-label" for="username">Username</label>
    <div class="col-md-6">
      <input class="form-control" id="username" type="text" name="username">
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="form-group password">
    <label class="col-md-2 control-label" for="password">Password</label>
    <div class="col-md-6">
      <input class="form-control" id="password" type="password" name="password">
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="form-group">
    <div class="col-md-offset-2 col-md-6">
      <div class="checkbox">
        <label>
          <input class="form-control" value="0" type="hidden" name="remember" id="remember">
          <input type="checkbox" name="remember" value="1" id="remember">
          Remember me
        </label>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="form-group">
    <div class="col-md-offset-2 col-md-6">
      <input type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" value="Log In">
    </div>
  </div>
</form>

With horizontal, it is possible to specify the width of each columns:

echo $this->Form->create($myModal, [
    'horizontal' => true,
    'cols' => [ // Total is 12
        'label' => 2,
        'input' => 6,
        'error' => 4
    ]
]);

You can also set column widths for different screens:

echo $this->Form->create($myModal, [
    'horizontal' => true,
    'cols' => [ 
        'sm' => [
            'label' => 4,
            'input' => 4,
            'error' => 4
        ],
        'md' => [
            'label' => 2,
            'input' => 6,
            'error' => 4
        ]
    ]
]);

New functions available to create buttons group, toolbar and dropdown:

echo $this->Form->buttonGroup([$this->Form->button('1'), $this->Form->button('2')]) ;
echo $this->Form->buttonToolbar([
    $this->Form->buttonGroup([$this->Form->button('1'), $this->Form->button('2')]),
    $this->Form->buttonGroup([$this->Form->button('3'), $this->Form->button('4')])
]) ;
echo $this->Form->dropdownButton('My Dropdown', [
    $this->Html->link('Link 1'),
    $this->Html->link('Link 2'),
    'divider',
    $this->Html->link('Link 3')
]);

New options available when creating input to prepend / append button or text to input:

echo $this->Form->input('mail', [
    'prepend' => '@', 
    'append' => $this->Form->button('Send')
]) ;
echo $this->Form->input('mail', [
    'append' => [
        $this->Form->button('Button'),
        $this->Form->dropdownButton('Dropdown', [
            $this->Html->link('A', []), 
            $this->Html->link('B', []),
            'divider', 
            $this->Html->link('C', [])
        ])
    ]
]) ;

It is possible to specify default button type and column width (for horizontal forms) when creating the helper:

// In your Controller
public $helpers = [
    'Form' => [
        'className' => 'Bootstrap3.BootstrapForm',
        'buttons' => [
            'type' => 'primary'
        ],
        'columns' => [
            'sm' => [
                'label' => 4,
                'input' => 4,
                'error' => 4
            ],
            'md' => [
                'label' => 2,
                'input' => 6,
                'error' => 4
            ]
        ]
    ]
];

Modal

Simple helper to create modal, 3 ways of using it:

First one (simple) - You should use this one if possible!

<?php
// Start a modal with a title, default value for 'close' is true
echo $this->Modal->create("My Modal Form", ['id' => 'MyModal', 'close' => false]) ; 
?>
<p>Here I write the body of my modal !</p>
<?php
// Close the modal, output a footer with a 'close' button
echo $this->Modal->end() ;
// It is possible to specify custom buttons:
echo $this->Modal->end([
    $this->Form->button('Submit', ['bootstrap-type' => 'primary']),   
    $this->Form->button('Close', ['data-dismiss' => 'modal']) 
]);
?>

Output:

<div id="MyModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-hidden="true" aria-labbeledby="MyModalLabel" class="modal fade" style="display: none;">
  <div class="modal-dialog">
    <div class="modal-content">
      <div class="modal-header ">
        <!-- With 'close' => true, or without specifying:
        <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">×</button> -->
        <h4 class="modal-title" id="MyModalLabel">My Modal Form</h4>
      </div>
      <div class="modal-body ">    
        <p>Here I write the body of my modal !</p>
      </div>
      <div class="modal-footer ">
        <button class="btn btn-primary btn-primary" type="submit">Submit</button>
        <button data-dismiss="modal" class="btn btn-primary" type="submit">Close</button>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Second one - No HTML, the various section are split in different methods.

<?php
echo $this->Modal->create(['id' => 'MyModal2']) ;
echo $this->Modal->header('My Title', ['close' => false]) ; 
echo $this->Modal->body('My Body', ['class' => 'my-body-class']) ;
echo $this->Modal->footer([
    $this->Form->button('Submit', ['bootstrap-type' => 'primary']),   
    $this->Form->button('Close', ['data-dismiss' => 'modal']) 
]) ;
echo $this->Modal->end() ;
?>

Third one (advanced) - You start each section manually, but you can customize almost everything!

<?php
echo $this->Modal->create(['id' => 'MyModal3']) ;
echo $this->Modal->header(['class' => 'my-header-class']) ; 
?>
<h4>My Header!</h4>
<?php
echo $this->Modal->body() ;
?>
<p>My body!</p>
<?php
echo $this->Modal->footer(['close' => false]) ;
?>
<p>My footer... Oops, no buttons!</p>
<?php
echo $this->Modal->end() ;
?>

With the two last versions, it is possible to omit a part:

<?php
echo $this->Modal->create() ;
echo $this->Modal->body() ; // No header
echo $this->Modal->footer() ; // Footer with close button (default)
echo $this->Modal->end() ;
?>

Info: You can use the BootstrapFormHelper to create toggle button for your modals!

echo $this->Form->button('Toggle Form', ['data-toggle' => 'modal', 'data-target' => '#MyModal']) ;
