Kohana 3 Multiple Scripts and Styles Extension

In Kohana 2, html::script() and html::stylesheet() accepted an array or string as their first arguments. This allowed you to easily add multiple script and style tags simultaneously without needing to write several lines of redundant code. Kohana 3 has removed this useful functionality so I thought I’d write a very quick extension to add it back in. The following adds HTML::scripts() and HTML::styles() functions (Kohana 3 slightly renamed their functions toHTML::script() and HTML::style() respectively).

Simply add the following file html.php to your /classes directory:

defined('SYSPATH') or die('No direct script access.');

class HTML extends Kohana_HTML {
public static function scripts(array $scripts, $attributes=array(), $index = FALSE)
{
$response = '';

//Data sanitisation
$index = $index ? TRUE : false;
if ( !is_array($attributes) ) $attributes = array();

foreach ( $scripts as $script )
$response .= html::script($script, $attributes, $index);

return $response;
}

public static function styles(array $styles, $attributes=array(), $index = FALSE)
{
$response = '';

//Data sanitisation
$index = $index ? TRUE : false;
if ( !is_array($attributes) ) $attributes = array();

foreach ( $styles as $style )
$response .= html::style($style, $attributes, $index);

return $response;
}
}

Usage:

echo HTML::styles(array(
'assets/css/reset',
'assets/css/styles',
);
echo HTML::scripts(array(
'assets/js/jquery',
'assets/js/jquery.ui.all',
);
