The TPage class

go!Johnny provides the TPage class for building an entire HTML5 page. It has the same basic behaviour of other go!Johnny classes. Ex.:

<?php
$page = TPage('Welcome', 'Some text');
echo $page;

This will output a whole HTML5 page, from the <!DOCTYPE declaration up to the closing </html> tag, containing a <head> element with a <title> set to 'Welcome', a default icon, some default css and js files (viz. the bootstrap css library and jQuery), and a <body> element with a <div> containing the string 'Some text'.

As you see, the TPage class is not a class like the others. It is much more complex and basically does most of the work. You can manipulate virtually all aspects of a page:
-title element;
-meta tags;
-icon;
-javascript files;
-css files;
-content;
-encoding.

Also, instead of echoing the page, you a render() method is available.

Let's see a more complete example:

<?php
$page = TPage();
$page->icon = 'my.ico';
$page->title = 'Testing';
$page->css[] = 'mystyle.css';
$page->js[] = 'somelibrary.js';
$page->js[] = 'myown.js';
$page->add('Lorem ipsum &c. ...');
$page->render();

The output will be:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <!-- starting page head section -->
    <!-- starting page meta section -->
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=us-ascii" />
    <meta http-equiv="Expires" content="0" />
    <meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache" />
    <meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache" />
    <meta name="language" content="en" />
    <meta name="robots" content="index,follow" />
    <meta name="coverage" content="Worldwide" />
    <meta name="distribution" content="Global" />
    <meta name="rating" content="General" />
    <!-- finishing page meta section -->
    <title>
      Testing
    </title>
    <link rel="icon" href="my.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://myserveraddress/gojohnny/lib/bootstrap/css/bootstrap.css" type="text/css" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://myserveraddress/gojohnny/gojohnny.css" type="text/css" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://myserveraddress/gojohnny/fonts.css.php" type="text/css" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="mystyle.css" type="text/css" />
    <script src="http://myserveraddress/gojohnny/lib/jquery/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="http://localhost/_gojohnny7/gojohnny.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="somelibrary.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="myown.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <!-- finishing page head section -->
  </head>
  <body>
    <!-- starting page body section -->
    <div id="main" class="container-fluid">
      Lorem ipsum &c. ...
    </div>
    <!-- finishing page body section -->
  </body>
</html>
