A collection of reusable frontend components, that work with the Liturgical Calendar API (currently hosted at https://litcal.johnromanodorazio.com/api/dev/).
Installing the package in your project is as simple as composer require liturgical-calendar/components
.
Include in your project's PHP script with include_once 'vendor/autoload.php';
(adjust the path to vendor/autoload.php accordingly).
Note that this package requires PHP >= 8.1, seeing it makes use of Enums (which were introduced in PHP 8.1). It also requires PHP ext-intl
. To check if you have all the requirements you can run composer check-platform-reqs --no-dev
. If you intend on contributing to the repository and installing development requirements, you should run composer check-platform-reqs
.
Produces an html \<select> element the \<option>s of which are populated with data
from the Liturgical Calendar API /calendars
route. Can be instantiated passing in an array of options
with the following keys:
url
: The URL of the liturgical calendar metadata API endpoint.
Defaults to https://litcal.johnromanodorazio.com/api/dev/calendars.locale
: The locale to use for the calendar select. Defaults to 'en'.
This is the locale that will be used to translate and order the names of the countries.
This should be a valid PHP locale string, such as 'en' or 'es' or 'en_US' or 'es_ES'.class
: The class or classes to apply to the select element, default calendarSelect
.id
: The id to apply to the select element, default calendarSelect
.name
: The name to apply to the select element, default calendarSelect
.setOptions
: The type of select options to return. Must be a valid case of the OptionsType
enum. Valid cases are
OptionsType::NATIONS
, OptionsType::DIOCESES
, OptionsType::DIOCESES_FOR_NATION
, or OptionsType::ALL
, default OptionsType::ALL
.nationFilter
: When setOptions
is set to OptionsType::DIOCESES_FOR_NATION
, this is the nation for which dioceses will be filtered, default null
.
This option MUST be set, and MUST NOT be null
or empty, when setOptions
is set to OptionsType::DIOCESES_FOR_NATION
,
otherwise an exception will occur.selectedOption
: Set one of the options in the select as the default selected option, by value, default null
.label
: A boolean indicating whether to include a label element or not, default false
.labelText
: The text to use for the label element, default "Select a calendar"
.allowNull
: Whether an option with an empty value should be added as the first option of the select, to allow the user to submit a null value, default false
.disabled
: Whether to set the disabled
attribute on the select element, default false
.[!CAUTION] When
setOptions
is set toOptionsType::DIOCESES_FOR_NATION
, thenationFilter
option MUST also be set, otherwise an exception will occur.
To produce the \<select> element, call the ->getSelect()
method on the CalendarSelect
instance.
Example:
<?php
include_once 'vendor/autoload.php';
use LiturgicalCalendar\Components\CalendarSelect;
$options = [
'locale' => 'it', // set the locale to Italian
'class' => 'form-select',
'id' => 'calendarSelect',
'label' => true,
'labelText' => _("Select a calendar")
];
$CalendarSelect = new CalendarSelect($options);
echo $CalendarSelect->getSelect();
The options can also be set by using the methods of the same name after instantiating the CalendarSelect
instance,
rather than passing them into the constructor. These methods allow for chaining.
Example:
<?php
include_once 'vendor/autoload.php';
use LiturgicalCalendar\Components\CalendarSelect;
use LiturgicalCalendar\Components\CalendarSelect\OptionsType;
$CalendarSelect = new CalendarSelect();
$CalendarSelect->nationFilter('NL')->setOptions(OptionsType::DIOCESES_FOR_NATION)->locale('it')->class('form-select')->id('diocesan_calendar')->name('diocesan_calendar')->label(true)->labelText('diocese');
echo $CalendarSelect->getSelect();
[!CAUTION] When using the
->setOptions()
method with a value ofOptionsType::DIOCESES_FOR_NATION
, the->nationFilter()
method MUST be called BEFORE calling the->setOptions()
method, otherwise an exception will occur.
Produces a number of html \<select> elements, with \<option>s that correspond to the values of parameters
that can be sent in a request to the Liturgical Calendar API /calendar
route.
The only \<select> element with options that are populated from the Liturgical API /calendars
route
is that of the locale
parameter, with current supported language locales.
To produce the \<select> elements, call the ->getForm()
method on the ApiOptions
instance.
Here is an example of the most basic usage:
<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use LiturgicalCalendar\Components\ApiOptions;
$apiOptions = new ApiOptions();
echo $apiOptions->getForm();
Output:
<label>epiphany</label>
<select data-param="epiphany">
<option value="">--</option>
<option value="JAN6">January 6th</option>
<option value="SUNDAY_JAN2_JAN8">Sunday between January 2nd and 8th</option>
</select>
<label>ascension</label>
<select data-param="ascension">
<option value="">--</option>
<option value="THURSDAY">Thursday</option>
<option value="SUNDAY">Sunday</option>
</select>
<label>corpus_christi</label>
<select data-param="corpus_christi">
<option value="">--</option>
<option value="THURSDAY">Thursday</option>
<option value="SUNDAY">Sunday</option>
</select>
<label>eternal_high_priest</label>
<select data-param="eternal_high_priest">
<option value="">--</option>
<option value="true">true</option>
<option value="false">false</option>
</select>
<label>locale</label>
<select data-param="locale">
<option value="nl">Dutch</option>
<option value="en">English</option>
<option value="fr">French</option>
<option value="de">German</option>
<option value="hu">Hungarian</option>
<option value="id">Indonesian</option>
<option value="it">Italian</option>
<option value="la" selected="">Latin</option>
<option value="pt">Portuguese</option>
<option value="sk">Slovak</option>
<option value="es">Spanish</option>
<option value="vi">Vietnamese</option>
</select>
<label>year_type</label>
<select data-param="year_type">
<option value="LITURGICAL">liturgical</option>
<option value="CIVIL">civil</option>
</select>
<label>accept header</label>
<select data-param="accept">
<option value="application/json">application/json</option>
<option value="application/xml">application/xml</option>
<option value="application/yaml">application/yaml</option>
<option value="text/calendar">text/calendar</option>
</select>
The \<select> elements that are output can be differentiated between those that correspond to parameters
that can be sent on any path of the /calendar/*
route (therefore for any Liturgical Calendar requested whether General Roman, national or diocesan),
and those that only make sense on the base /calendar
route (therefore only for the General Roman calendar). To differentiate the output,
pass in the PathType
enum with one of the two possible enum values:
<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use LiturgicalCalendar\Components\ApiOptions;
use LiturgicalCalendar\Components\ApiOptions\PathType;
$apiOptions = new ApiOptions();
echo $apiOptions->getForm(PathType::BASE_PATH);
echo '<br>';
echo $apiOptions->getForm(PathType::ALL_PATHS);
The output will be similar to the previous output, with a <br>
separating the year_type
and accept header
\<select> elements
from the other \<select> elements.
We can change the locale
for the ApiOptions
component, which will affect:
locale
select element, so that the language names in the select options are displayed according to the given localeeternal_high_priest
select element (since the final value is a boolean, the display values are simply
text representations of boolean values, and not the actual value that is sent in an API request)epiphany
select element (which are descriptive to make them more comprehensible)ascension
and corpus_christ
select elements ("Sunday" and "Thursday" will be displayed according to the given locale)<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use LiturgicalCalendar\Components\ApiOptions;
use LiturgicalCalendar\Components\ApiOptions\PathType;
$options = [
'locale' => 'it-IT'
];
$apiOptions = new ApiOptions($options);
echo $apiOptions->getForm(PathType::BASE_PATH);
echo '<br>';
echo $apiOptions->getForm(PathType::ALL_PATHS);
The locale
select will now look like this:
<select data-param="locale">
<option value="fr">francese</option>
<option value="id">indonesiano</option>
<option value="en">inglese</option>
<option value="it">italiano</option>
<option value="la" selected="">latino</option>
<option value="nl">olandese</option>
<option value="pt">portoghese</option>
<option value="sk">slovacco</option>
<option value="es">spagnolo</option>
<option value="de">tedesco</option>
<option value="hu">ungherese</option>
<option value="vi">vietnamita</option>
</select>
We can optionally set a \<form> or \<div> wrapper around the whole of the output,
and we can also set the class
and id
of the wrapper element, and we can also set a label
for the form
(which will be included within the wrapper element):
<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use LiturgicalCalendar\Components\ApiOptions;
$options = [
'locale' => 'it-IT',
'wrapper' => 'div', //we can set a string representing the 'as' html element
'formLabel' => 'h5' //we can set a string representing the 'as' html element
];
$apiOptions = new ApiOptions($options);
$apiOptions->wrapper->class('calendarOptions')->id('calendarOptions');
$apiOptions->formLabel->text('Liturgical Calendar API Request Options');
echo $apiOptions->getForm();
<div class="calendarOptions" id="calendarOptions"> <!-- wrapper element -->
<h5>Liturgical Calendar API Request Options</h5> <!-- form label element -->
<label>epiphany</label>
<select>...
</div>
The ApiOptions
component allows for fine grained control via a number of methods.
For example we can set a common wrapper element that will be wrapped around each of the form select elements,
via the Input::setGlobalWrapper()
and Input::setGlobalWrapperClass()
methods.
We can also set a common class to be used on all of the form select elements,
via the Input::setGlobalInputClass()
method.
<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use LiturgicalCalendar\Components\ApiOptions;
use LiturgicalCalendar\Components\ApiOptions\Input;
$options = [
"locale" => "it-IT",
"wrapper" => true, //we can simply set a boolean, then set the 'as' html element afterwards by using the ->as() method
"formLabel" => true //we can simply set a boolean, then set the 'as' html element afterwards by using the ->as() method
];
$apiOptions = new ApiOptions($options);
$apiOptions->wrapper->as('div')->class('calendarOptions')->id('calendarOptions');
$apiOptions->formLabel->as('h5')->text('Liturgical Calendar API Request Options');
Input::setGlobalWrapper('div');
Input::setGlobalWrapperClass('form-group');
Input::setGlobalInputClass('form-select');
echo $apiOptions->getForm();
[!NOTE] Other than setting the
as
html element as a string value in thewrapper
option, or enabling thewrapper
with a boolean value, we can also setwrapper
to an associative array with the desired options. The following three examples are equivalent:// EXAMPLE 1 $options = [ 'wrapper' => 'div' ]; $apiOptions = new ApiOptions($options); $apiOptions->wrapper->class('calendarOptions')->id('calendarOptions'); // EXAMPLE 2 $options = [ 'wrapper' => [ 'as' => 'div', 'class' => 'calendarOptions', 'id' => 'calendarOptions' ] ]; $apiOptions = new ApiOptions($options); // EXAMPLE 3 $options = [ 'wrapper' => true ]; $apiOptions = new ApiOptions($options); $apiOptions->wrapper->as('div')->class('calendarOptions')->id('calendarOptions');
[!NOTE] Other than setting the
as
html element as a string value in theformLabel
option, or enabling theformLabel
with a boolean value, we can also setformLabel
to an associative array with the desired options. The following three examples are equivalent:// EXAMPLE 1 $options = [ 'formLabel' => 'h5' ]; $apiOptions = new ApiOptions($options); $apiOptions->formLabel->text('Liturgical Calendar API Request Options'); // EXAMPLE 2 $options = [ 'formLabel' => [ 'as' => 'h5', 'text' => 'Liturgical Calendar API Request Options' ] ]; $apiOptions = new ApiOptions($options); // EXAMPLE 3 $options = [ 'formLabel' => true ]; $apiOptions = new ApiOptions($options); $apiOptions->formLabel->as('h5')->text('Liturgical Calendar API Request Options');
Output:
<div class="calendarOptions" id="calendarOptions"> <!-- wrapper element -->
<h5>Liturgical Calendar API Request Options</h5> <!-- form label element -->
<div class="form-group">
<label>epiphany</label>
<select class="form-select">...</select>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label>ascension</label>
<select class="form-select">...</select>
</div>
</div>
Usually we would want to have the same wrapper and wrapper classes and select element classes on all of the form select inputs.
However, if we do need for any reason to have finer grained control on a specific select element, say for example we would like
to set an id
attribute on a specific select element, we can do so by targeting the relative input. The select inputs are available
on the ApiOptions
instance as the following properties:
epiphanyInput
ascensionInput
corpusChristiInput
eternalHighPriestInput
yearTypeInput
localeInput
acceptHeaderInput
Each of these has it's own ->class()
, ->id()
, ->labelClass()
, ->wrapper()
, and ->wrapperClass()
methods.
If a global input wrapper or input class is also set, the single input's fine-grained methods will override the global settings
for the specific input instance.
<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use LiturgicalCalendar\Components\ApiOptions;
use LiturgicalCalendar\Components\ApiOptions\Input;
$options = [
'locale' => 'it-IT',
'wrapper' => true,
'formLabel' => true
];
$apiOptions = new ApiOptions($options);
$apiOptions->wrapper->as('div')->class('calendarOptions')->id('calendarOptions');
$apiOptions->formLabel->as('h5')->text('Liturgical Calendar API Request Options');
$apiOptions->epiphanyInput->class('epiphany-input')->id('epiphanyInput')->labelClass('epiphany-label')->wrapper('div')->wrapperClass('epiphany-wrapper');
echo $apiOptions->getForm();
Output:
<div class="calendarOptions" id="calendarOptions"> <!-- wrapper element -->
<h5>Liturgical Calendar API Request Options</h5> <!-- form label element -->
<div class="epiphany-wrapper">
<label class="epiphany-label">epiphany</label>
<select class="epiphany-input" id="epiphanyInput">...</select>
</div>
...
</div>
A WebCalendar is instantiated with a response object from the Liturgical Calendar API. It does not currently take care of making the request, the request must first be sent to the API and the response must be transformed into an object, and passed in to the WebCalendar constructor.
<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use LiturgicalCalendar\Components\WebCalendar;
// build your request here
// $response = curl_exec($ch);
// Get an object from the response
$LiturgicalCalendar = json_decode($response);
// If we have successfully obtained an object, pass it into the WebCalendar constructor
if (JSON_ERROR_NONE === json_last_error()) {
$webCalendar = new WebCalendar($LiturgicalCalendar);
$table = $webCalendar->buildTable();
echo $table;
} else {
echo '<div class="col-12">JSON error: ' . json_last_error_msg() . '</div>';
}
Most of the table styling should be handled with CSS styling rules.
To this end, a number of CSS classes are created by default in the resulting table.
colN
where N
is the number of the column, starting from 1. This allows to set for example the width styling of specific columns, rather than relying on the browser to calculate the width automatically.rotate
which allows for a CSS rule that will rotate the text such as:
#LitCalTable td.rotate div {
writing-mode: vertical-rl;
transform: rotate(180.0deg);
}
Additionally, if the first column grouping is set to Grouping::BY_MONTH
(see Chainable methods below), each cell of the column will have class month
.
If instead the grouping is set to Grouping::BY_LITURGICAL_SEASON
, each cell of the column will have additional classes season {LITURGICAL_SEASON}
where {LITURGICAL_SEASON}
is a value of ADVENT
, CHRISTMAS
, LENT
, EASTER_TRIDUUM
, EASTER
or ORDINARY_TIME
.
monthHeader
dateEntry
eventDetails liturgicalGrade_{GRADE}
where {GRADE}
is the numerical rank of the festivity, where:
liturgicalGrade liturgicalGrade_{GRADE}
(as above)psalterWeek
[!NOTE] The WebCalendar component currently suppresses the
grade_display
for celebrations of rank 7, since it is more explanatory than actually useful for display in a web calendar, having a value along the lines of 'celebration with precedence over solemnities'.
The WebCalendar instance also has a number of methods that allow to further adjust and customize the layout of the calendar. These methods allow for chaining, making it easy to call them one after the other:
use LiturgicalCalendar\Components\WebCalendar;
use LiturgicalCalendar\Components\WebCalendar\Grouping;
use LiturgicalCalendar\Components\WebCalendar\ColorAs;
use LiturgicalCalendar\Components\WebCalendar\Column;
use LiturgicalCalendar\Components\WebCalendar\ColumnOrder;
use LiturgicalCalendar\Components\WebCalendar\DateFormat;
use LiturgicalCalendar\Components\WebCalendar\GradeDisplay;
// make your request and get an object from the response...
$webCalendar = new WebCalendar($LiturgicalCalendar);
$webCalendar->id('LitCalTable')
->class('.liturgicalCalendar')
->firstColumnGrouping(Grouping::BY_LITURGICAL_SEASON)
->psalterWeekGrouping()
->removeHeaderRow()
->removeCaption()
->monthHeader()
->seasonColor(ColorAs::CSS_CLASS)
->seasonColorColumns(Column::LITURGICAL_SEASON)
->eventColor(ColorAs::INDICATOR)
->eventColorColumns(Column::EVENT)
->columnOrder(ColumnOrder::GRADE_FIRST)
->dateFormat(DateFormat::DAY_ONLY)
->gradeDisplay(GradeDisplay::ABBREVIATED);
id(string $id)
: sets the id
attribute of the <table>
elementclass(string $class)
: sets the class
attribute of the <table>
elementfirstColumnGrouping(Grouping $grouping)
: sets the grouping for the first column. Can take an enum value of:
Grouping::BY_MONTH
: the first column will contain month groupingsGrouping::BY_LITURGICAL_SEASON
: the first column will contain liturgical season groupingspsalterWeekGrouping(bool $boolVal = true)
: sets whether the psalter week column is produced.
It is always the last column, and liturgical events within the same Psalter week are grouped together.removeHeaderRow(bool $removeHeaderRow = true)
: sets whether the header row should be removed from the tableremoveCaption(bool $removeCaption = true)
: sets whether the table caption should be removed from the tableseasonColor(ColorAs $colorAs)
: sets how the season color is applied to the table. Can take an enum value of:
ColorAs::CSS_CLASS
: the season color will be applied to given column cells as a class (value of green
, red
, white
, purple
, pink
)ColorAs::BACKGROUND
: the season color will be applied to given column cells as an inline styleColorAs::INDICATOR
: a small circle with background color corresponding to the season color will be created in given column cellsColorAs::NONE
: none of the aboveseasonColorColumns(Column|int $columnFlags = Column::NONE)
: sets which columns should be affected by the seasonColor
settings. The method takes a Column
enum as parameter, the available enum cases are:
Column::LITURGICAL_SEASON
Column::MONTH
Column::DATE
Column::EVENT
Column::GRADE
Column::PSALTER_WEEK
Column::ALL
Column::NONE
The Column
enum values are bitfield values, so they can be combined with a bitwise OR operator |
, but being an enum, the values are obtained with Column::LITURGICAL_SEASON->value
, Column::MONTH->value
, etc. A bitwise combination of columns would look like: seasonColorColumns(Column::LITURGICAL_SEASON->value | Column::DATE->value | Column::PSALTER_WEEK->value)
. As a convenience, we have a Column::ALL
enum case that represents the OR'd value of all columns, and a Column::NONE
enum case the represents a zero value, effectively disabling all columns from any season color effects.
eventColor(ColorAs $colorAs)
: sets how the color for the single liturgical celebration is applied to the table. See seasonColor
above for the ColorAs
enum cases.eventColorColumns(Columns|int $columnFlags = Column::NONE)
: sets which columns should be affected by the eventColor
settings. See the seasonColorColumns
method above for usage of the Column
enum cases.columnOrder(ColumnOrder $columnOrder = ColumnOrder::EVENT_DETAILS_FIRST)
: sets the order of the third and fourth columns, whether Liturgical Grade first or Event Details first. The ColumnOrder
enum as two cases: ColumnOrder::GRADE_FIRST
and ColumnOrder::EVENT_DETAILS_FIRST
.monthHeader(bool $monthHeader = true)
: sets whether month headers should be produced at the start of each monthdateFormat(DateFormat $dateFormat = DateFormat::FULL)
: sets how the date should be displayed in the Date column. The DateFormat
enum cases correspond to a selection of IntlDateFormatter
constants:
DateFormat::FULL
: The full date format for the locale, e.g. "Friday, March 3, 2023" or "venerdì 3 marzo 2023".DateFormat::LONG
: The long date format for the locale, e.g. "March 3, 2023" or "3 marzo 2023".DateFormat::MEDIUM
: The medium date format for the locale, e.g. "Mar 3, 2023" or "3 mar 2023".DateFormat::SHORT
: The short date format for the locale, e.g. "3/3/23" or "03/03/23".DateFormat::DAY_ONLY
: Only the day of the month and the weekday, e.g. "3 Friday" or "3 venerdì".gradeDisplay(GradeDisplay $gradeDisplay = GradeDisplay::FULL)
: sets how the liturgical grade should be displayed, whether in full or in abbreviated form. The GradeDisplay
enum has two cases: GradeDisplay::FULL
and GradeDisplay::ABBREVIATED
.There a few methods that return a value, and therefore do not allow for chaining, because they do not return the instance but rather a value.
getLocale()
: returns the locale that the WebCalendar instance is currently set to. Note that the locale can only be set by the Liturgical Object that is passed into the WebCalendar constructor.daysCreated()
: returns the count of days on which liturgical events take place in the current WebCalendar. Note that this will only return a value after buildTable()
is called. The value will vary depending on whether the year requested is a leap year or not, and on whether a CIVIL or LITURGICAL year is being produced.buildTable()
: returns an HTML string with the table containing the Liturgical Calendar, built according to the settings from the chainable methods.An examples folder has been included in the repo to allow for easy testing. Currently there is a /webcalendar
subfolder with an example of usage of the WebCalendar
component. To quickly test locally, cd
into the /webcalendar
subfolder and run php -S localhost:3000
, then open your browser at http://localhost:3000
. You should see a form with ApiOptions
and CalendarSelect
. Click on Submit to see the actual web calendar.
Note that this will use the default remote API. If you would like to test against a local instance of the API, first make sure that you have installed the development requirements with composer install
(whereas composer install --no-dev
would install without development requirements).
With development requirements in place, copy /examples/webcalendar/.env.example
to /examples/webcalendar/.env.development
, and set the value of API_PORT
to the port of your local API instance. If you are spawning an instance of the API on port 8000, then set API_PORT
to 8000. As long as APP_ENV
is set to development
, the /examples/webcalendar
example will use your local API instance instead of the remote production API. For more information on spawning a local instance of the API, see the Liturgical Calendar API Readme - testing locally.
The package includes a few unit tests to ensure that the component is working as expected. In order to run the tests, clone the package repository locally and install the dev dependencies:
git clone https://github.com/Liturgical-Calendar/liturgy-components-php.git
cd liturgy-components-php
composer install --no-dev
Then run the composer test
script, which calls the included PHPUnit package to run the tests in the tests
folder.
To run a single test class or a single method within a class, use the composer test-filter
script
followed by the desired Class
or Class::method
, e.g.
composer test-filter CalendarSelectTest::testIsValidLocale
.
The few translatable strings in the component are handled via weblate. Click on the following badges to contribute to the translations.
