I have earlier asked this question, and I got good answers there. However, that was for beta4, and no longer works.
So where and how do I add my own view helpers to ZF2?
You should add them to your module.config.php
under view_helpers
like this:
'view_manager' => array(
'template_path_stack' => array(
'ModuleName' => __DIR__ . '/../view',
),
),
'view_helpers' => array(
'factories' => array(
'showmessages' => function($sm) {
$helper = new ModuleName\Helper\MessageShower();
// do stuff with $sm or the $helper
return $helper;
},
),
'invokables' => array(
'selectmenu' => 'ModuleName\Helper\SelectMenu',
'prettyurl' => 'ModuleName\Helper\PrettyUrl',
),
),
Here I show two ways of creating the helpers. If all they need to do is to be instantiated, just add their name (including namespace) as invokables
. If you need to do stuff with them or the ServiceManager
, create them through the factories
keyword.
