Plan: Make Library Composer Installable

Objective

Refactor the PHP HTML element generator library to be installable via Composer, using PSR-4 autoloading and namespaces.

1. Choose Namespace

• Vendor: `Hypertool`
• Package/Namespace: `Html`
• Full Namespace: `Hypertool\Html`

2. Add Namespace Declarations

• Action: Iterate through all `.php` files within the `src/` directory.

• Modification: Add the following line at the top of each PHP file, immediately after the opening `<?php` tag:
  namespace Hypertool\Html;
  

• Update Internal References: Ensure any internal class references within the library (e.g., in static factory methods in `HtmlElement.php`) are updated to use the fully qualified namespace or have appropriate `use` statements added.

3. Create composer.json

• Action: Create a `composer.json` file in the project root.

• Content:
  {
      "name": "hypertool/html",
      "description": "A comprehensive PHP library for generating HTML elements with HTMX and Hyperscript support.",
      "type": "library",
      "license": "MIT",
      "authors": [
          {
              "name": "Your Name", // Replace with actual author name
              "email": "your.email@example.com" // Replace with actual author email
          }
      ],
      "require": {
          "php": ">=7.4" // Or specify a higher minimum version if needed
      },
      "autoload": {
          "psr-4": {
              "Hypertool\\Html\\": "src/"
          }
      },
      "minimum-stability": "stable",
      "prefer-stable": true
  }
  

• Note: Replace placeholder author details. Adjust the PHP version requirement if necessary.

4. Update Usage Examples

• Action: Modify `examples/*.php` scripts.

• Modification: Add `use` statements at the top of each example file for the classes being used:
  <?php
  require_once __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php'; // Use Composer autoloader
  
  use Hypertool\Html\HtmlElement;
  use Hypertool\Html\ScriptManager;
  // Add use statements for specific element classes if needed
  use Hypertool\Html\Div;
  use Hypertool\Html\Button;
  // ... etc.
  
  // Example code remains largely the same, but now uses namespaced classes
  $div = HtmlElement::div('Content');
  ScriptManager::requireHtmx();
  echo ScriptManager::outputScripts();
  ?>
  

5. Update README.md

• Action: Modify the `Readme.md` file.

• Modification:
  - Update the "Setup" section to include Composer installation:
    ## Setup
  
    1. Install via Composer:
       ```sh
       composer require hypertool/html
       ```
    2. Include the autoloader in your project:
       ```php
       require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';
       ```
    3. Use the namespaced classes:
       ```php
       use Hypertool\Html\HtmlElement;
       use Hypertool\Html\ScriptManager;
       // ... etc.
       ```
  - Remove any previous setup instructions involving direct includes.
  - Update any references to the old package name/namespace.
