View Component

is there any way we can make a reusable component of a specific part of  HTML and use it throughout the application? 

I have heard rumors that it is possible but I have had a hard time finding an article on the same on the web.

Thank you in Advance, Keep Grinding

if you use the approach of "layout" in your views , then you can create for want of a better word , chunks of html which can be inserted into a single main web page

So in my case my view "layout" contains the header(with links to css , bootstrap etc ) , main middle section where different content is inserted and footer(also containing jquery ) in the middle it has

Code:

<?= $this->renderSection('content') ?>

each different "chunk" of html will be in the form :

Code:

<?= $this->extend('layout') ?>

<?= $this->section('content') ?>
<!-- you can even inject content into chunks of html that will extend tyhe main lay out using line below-->

<?= $this->include('carousel') ?>

<!-- in the above i inject a chunk which uses bootstrap carousel-->


<!-- all html content here-->
<?= $this->endSection() ?>

Cells and layouts are both parts of the puzzle. If you don't need any logic with the HTML chunks, you could just store them as a separate view and include them wherever you need them.

Thanks for the insights.

I think this would be really helpful to you: Components library for CI4. It allows to encapsulate html and css classes/styles into reusable website building blocks.
See it here: https://packagist.org/packages/dgvirtual...components
It allows to write this in your view:

PHP Code:

<x-green-button onclick="alert('I was clicked!')">
  <?= $clickMeLabel ?>
</x-green-button> 


and after rendering get this sent to your browser:

PHP Code:

<button
    style="color: white; background-color: green;"
    <?= isset($onclick) ? 'onclick="' . $onclick . '"' : '' ?>
>
    <?= $slot ?>
</button> 


This functionality has been available in Bonfire2 for a while, but I have extracted it and put it into an installable composer package.

Bonfire2 was written mainly by Lonnie Ezell (@kilishan), so most of the credit goes to him.

Hope you will find it as useful as I have.
