PHP-WAX View Helpers

There are plenty of repetitive tasks that you need to do inside an HTML view. The beauty of helpers is that you only have to use them if they're helpful. Over the course of the next few versions the number and functionality of the helpers will increase greatly. At the moment one of the major benefits of using helpers is to simplify form creation.

 <?= content_tag($name, $content, $options)?>

Content tag creates an html tag and surrounds the value of the content.

 <?= error_messages_for("model_name")?>

This prints out any error messages after a form submission.

 <?= image_tag('image') ?>

Displays an image from the public/images directory.

 <?= stylesheet_link_tag('stylesheet')?>

Links to a stylesheet located in the public/stylesheets directory.

 <?= javascript_include_tag('script')?>
