# Phalcon Html
:::info[NOTE]
All classes are prefixed with `Phalcon`
:::
## Html\Attributes
Class
This class helps to work with HTML Attributes
@extends Collection<mixed>
- [`Phalcon\Support\Collection`](/5.20/api/phalcon_support/#supportcollection)
- **`Phalcon\Html\Attributes`** - implements [`Phalcon\Html\Attributes\RenderInterface`](#htmlattributesrenderinterface)
`Phalcon\Html\Attributes\RenderInterface` · `Phalcon\Html\Escaper\AttributeEscaper` · `Phalcon\Html\Exceptions\AttributeNotRenderable` · `Phalcon\Support\Collection`
### Method Summary

Render attributes as HTML attributes
@todo remove this when we refactor forms. Maybe remove this class? Put it into traits
### Methods
__toString()
```php
public function __toString(): string;
```
Alias of the render method
render()
```php
public function render(): string;
```
Render attributes as HTML attributes
renderAttributes()
```php
protected function renderAttributes( array $attributes ): string;
```
@todo remove this when we refactor forms. Maybe remove this class? Put it into traits
## Html\Attributes\AttributesInterface
Interface
Html Attributes Interface
- **`Phalcon\Html\Attributes\AttributesInterface`**
`Phalcon\Html\Attributes`
### Method Summary
Get Attributes
Set Attributes
### Methods
getAttributes()
```php
public function getAttributes(): Attributes;
```
Get Attributes
setAttributes()
```php
public function setAttributes( Attributes $attributes ): AttributesInterface;
```
Set Attributes
## Html\Attributes\RenderInterface
Interface
Rendering interface for HTML attributes
- **`Phalcon\Html\Attributes\RenderInterface`**
### Method Summary
Generate a string representation
### Methods
render()
```php
public function render(): string;
```
Generate a string representation
## Html\Breadcrumbs
Class
Phalcon\Html\Breadcrumbs
This component offers an easy way to create breadcrumbs for your application.
The resulting HTML when calling `render()` will have each breadcrumb enclosed
in `
` tags, while the whole string is enclosed in `
` tags.
- **`Phalcon\Html\Breadcrumbs`**
`Phalcon\Contracts\Html\HtmlTypes`
### Method Summary
Adds a new crumb.
Clears the crumbs
Returns the separator
Removes crumb by url.
Renders and outputs breadcrumbs based on previously set template.
Set the separator
Returns the internal breadcrumbs array
### Methods
add()
```php
public function add(
string $label,
string $link = ""
): static;
```
Adds a new crumb.
```php
// Adding a crumb with a link
$breadcrumbs->add("Home", "/");
// Adding a crumb without a link (normally the last one)
$breadcrumbs->add("Users");
```
Crumbs are stored keyed by their link, so adding two crumbs that share
the same link - including two link-less crumbs, which share the empty
string key - keeps only the last one.
clear()
```php
public function clear(): void;
```
Clears the crumbs
```php
$breadcrumbs->clear()
```
getSeparator()
```php
public function getSeparator(): string;
```
Returns the separator
remove()
```php
public function remove( string $link ): void;
```
Removes crumb by url.
```php
$breadcrumbs->remove("/admin/user/create");
// remove a crumb without an url (last link)
$breadcrumbs->remove();
```
render()
```php
public function render(): string;
```
Renders and outputs breadcrumbs based on previously set template.
```php
echo $breadcrumbs->render();
```
setSeparator()
```php
public function setSeparator( string $separator ): static;
```
Set the separator
toArray()
```php
public function toArray(): array;
```
Returns the internal breadcrumbs array
## Html\Escaper
Class
Phalcon\Html\Escaper
Escapes different kinds of text securing them. By using this component you
may prevent XSS attacks.
The class is a façade over five per-context escapers (`HtmlEscaper`,
`AttributeEscaper`, `CssEscaper`, `JsEscaper`, `UrlEscaper`). Each can be
retrieved via the matching `getXxxEscaper()` accessor and substituted via
the matching `setXxxEscaper()` setter. The legacy `setEncoding`,
`setFlags`, and `setDoubleEncode` continue to fan out to all sub-objects
so existing code keeps working.
This component only works with UTF-8. The PREG extension needs to be compiled
with UTF-8 support.
```php
$escaper = new \Phalcon\Html\Escaper();
$escaped = $escaper->css("font-family: ");
echo $escaped; // font\2D family\3A \20 \3C Verdana\3E
```

## Html\Escaper\EscaperInterface
Interface
Interface for Phalcon\Html\Escaper.
This declares the stable context-escaping surface. The concrete
\{@see \Phalcon\Html\Escaper\} facade also exposes members that are not part
of this contract - `setDoubleEncode()`, `getFlags()`, and the per-context
sub-escaper getters/setters (`getHtmlEscaper()`, `setAttributeEscaper()`,
and the rest). Type against the concrete class to reach those.
- **`Phalcon\Html\Escaper\EscaperInterface`**
### Method Summary
Escapes a HTML attribute string.
Escape CSS strings by replacing non-alphanumeric chars by their
Returns the internal encoding used by the escaper
Escapes a HTML string.
Escape Javascript strings by replacing non-alphanumeric chars by their
Sets the encoding to be used by the escaper
Sets the HTML quoting type for htmlspecialchars
Escapes a URL. Internally uses rawurlencode
### Methods
attributes()
```php
public function attributes( string $input ): string;
```
Escapes a HTML attribute string.
The concrete \{@see \Phalcon\Html\Escaper\} also accepts an array of
attribute pairs and tolerates `null`: an array is rendered as escaped
`key="value"` pairs, `null` and `false` values are skipped, and `true`
renders as a bare key. Callers typed against this interface pass a
string. The widened signature lands in the next major.
css()
```php
public function css( string $input ): string;
```
Escape CSS strings by replacing non-alphanumeric chars by their
hexadecimal representation
getEncoding()
```php
public function getEncoding(): string;
```
Returns the internal encoding used by the escaper
html()
```php
public function html( string $input ): string;
```
Escapes a HTML string.
The concrete \{@see \Phalcon\Html\Escaper\} tolerates `null`, returning an
empty string for it. The nullable signature lands in the next major.
js()
```php
public function js( string $input ): string;
```
Escape Javascript strings by replacing non-alphanumeric chars by their
hexadecimal representation
setEncoding()
```php
public function setEncoding( string $encoding ): EscaperInterface;
```
Sets the encoding to be used by the escaper
setFlags()

Appends an entry to the store, optionally at a specific integer
### Properties
### Methods
__invoke()
```php
public function __invoke(
string $indent = " ",
string|null $delimiter = null
): static;
```
__toString()
```php
public function __toString();
```
Generates and returns the HTML for the list. Entries are sorted by
their integer key first, so an asset registered with a lower position
renders before one registered with a higher position regardless of
registration order.
reset()
```php
public function reset(): static;
```
Resets the internal store.
getTag()
```php
abstract protected function getTag(): string;
```
Returns the tag name.
pushOrPlace()
```php
protected function pushOrPlace(
array $entry,
int $position = -1
): void;
```
Appends an entry to the store, optionally at a specific integer
position. When `$pos` is negative the entry is pushed onto the next
available auto-increment slot. When `$pos` is non-negative the entry
is placed at that key, advancing past any already-occupied slots so
existing entries are not overwritten. The store is ksort()ed in
`__toString`, so positions act as a sort key, not a strict address.
