Abstract Factory

A simple module that removes the requirement to setup invokables and factories for services and controllers., _(*1)

There is no requirement to use aliases that make your code inconsistant, just use the full namespace and the abstract will find it and instantiate it when required., _(*2)

This module is aimed at saving time which would otherwise be spent on configuration., _(*3)

Installation

1) Add the following requirement to your projects composer.json file., _(*4)

Within the "require" section:, _(*5)

"zf-hipsters/abstract-factory": ">=0.9"

2) Open up your command line and run, _(*6)

php ./composer.phar update

2) Add 'ZfhAbstractFactory' to your /config/application.config.php modules, _(*7)

Route Example

Without ZfhAbstractFactory being enabled, you need to register your controllers within configuration such as:, _(*8)

'controllers' => array(
    'invokables' => array(
        'Album\Controller\Album' => 'Album\Controller\AlbumController',
    ),
),

When ZfhAbstractFactory is enabled, you can avoid registering controllers in this way if you use the FQN of the controller in your route., _(*9)

Note: the FQN of the controller has been used., _(*10)

'router' => array(
        'routes' => array(
            'home' => array(
                'type' => 'Zend\Mvc\Router\Http\Literal',
                'options' => array(
                    'route'    => '/',
                    'defaults' => array(
                        'controller'    => 'Application\Controller\IndexController',
                        'action'     => 'index',
                    ),
                ),
            ),
        )
);

Another example with dynamic with fixed controller and a dynamic action., _(*11)

'smurf' => array(
    'type' => 'Zend\Mvc\Router\Http\Segment',
    'options' => array(
        'route'    => '/smurf[/:action]',
        'controller' => 'Application\Controller\SmurfController',
        'defaults' => array(
            'action' => 'index',
        ),
    ),
),

ServiceManager Example

In your controller file, _(*12)

$this->getServiceLocator()->get('Application\Service\MyService');

Calling a factory, _(*13)

$this->getServiceLocator()->get('Application\Service\MyServiceFactory');
