Leaf UI is a PHP library for building user interfaces.
Leaf UI simply takes away the 100s of lines of crazy HTML you'd need to write, so you can focus on only PHP. Leaf UI doesn't need a new compiler or any extensive compiling, it's just the same old PHP you write everyday; as such, you can build full scaleable Leaf UI powered apps or just sprinkle Leaf UI into your existing HTML/PHP code.
Like most PHP libraries, we recommend installing Leaf UI with composer. Just open up your console and type:
composer require leafs/uiThis will install Leaf UI into your application. You don't have to worry about bloating your application: Leaf UI has no external dependencies.
After this, you can use all of Leaf UI's methods and components.

Templates provide a quick way to scaffold a Leaf UI without sweating the tiny details. To get started, simply swap out the main the Leaf\UI package for Leaf\UI\Template.
use Leaf\UI\Template as UI;
UI::element(...);$ui = new Leaf\UI\Template;
$ui::element(...);This method let's you create a plain HTML structure consisting which looks somewhat like this when rendered:
<!Doctype html id="1590108145!Doctype html" />
<html id="1590108145html">
<head id="1590108145head">
<title id="1590108145title">{ Title Here }</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" id="1590108145meta" />
<link href="vendor/leafs/ui/src/UI/default/default.css" rel="stylesheet" id="1590108145link" />
{ Other Head Elements Here}
</head>
<body id="1590108145body">
{ Body Here }
</body>
</html>
