Introduction

Widgets is a very simple MVC controller dispatcher for ZF2.

Requirements

• Zend Framework 2 (latest master)

Features / Goals

• Prepare Widgets to dispatch in View or Layout

Common Use-Cases

Add Widgets from YourModule/Module.php

public function init(Manager $moduleManager)
{
   	...
    $events->attach('bootstrap', 'bootstrap', array($this, 'initializeWidgets'));
	...
}

public function initializeWidgets($e)
{
    $app          = $e->getParam('application');
    $locator      = $app->getLocator();
    $widgets = $locator->get('widgets_service');
    $widgets
        ->addWidget(
				// widget id
    		'unique_widget_name', 
				// controller DI instance
			'controller_di_instance', 
		        // route params
    		array(	
    			'controller' => 'user',
    			'action' => 'userbox'
    		), 
				// widget groups
    		array('col1') 
    	);
}

Add Widget in YourController.php

$this->widgets()->getInstance()->addWidget( ... );

Dispatching Widget group from view or layout

$widgets = $this->widgets()->dispatchWidgets('col1');
foreach($widgets as $name=>$widget) :
	echo $widget;
endforeach;

Dispatching single Widget

echo $this->widgets()->dispatchWidget('widget_name');
