I'm trying to understand all the configuration necessary to get my routing working in Zend Framework 2, and I can't help but wonder if I am making this more complicated than necessary.
I am working on a simple app that will follow a very simple convention:
/:module/:controller/:action
I've already created and wired up my module, "svc" (short for "service)". I then created a second controller, the "ClientsController", and I can't get the routing to pass through my requests to, e.g., /svc/clients/list to ClientsController::listAction().
As I'm wading through hundreds of lines of configuration, in deeply nested arrays, I'm thinking--isn't there some way to just have a default mapping of my URLs to /:module/:controller/:action ?
Thanks for any assistance. I'm going off of the Zend Framework 2 Quick Start, which walked me through creating a new module and then adding a controller to that module. But when I tried to add second controller to that module, I am tripping over the routing.
Update: I didn't catch this the first time through, but apparently this is supposed to be a feature of the Zend Framework Skeleton app. From the quick start guide:
ZendSkeletonApplication ships with a “default route” that will likely get you to this action. That route basically expects “/{module}/{controller}/{action}”, which allows you to specify this: “/zend-user/hello/world”
That's exactly what I want! But I can't get it to work.
It lists an incomplete module.config.php, with a comment at the bottom about putting "other configuration" here. I tried to figure out what that "other configuration" is, and wound up with this:
return array(
'svc' => array(
'type' => 'Literal',
'options' => array(
'route' => '/svc',
'defaults' => array(
'controller' => 'svc\Controller\Index',
'action' => 'index',
),
),
'may_terminate' => true,
'child_routes' => array(
'default' => array(
'type' => 'Segment',
'options' => array(
'route' => '/[:controller[/:action]]',
'constraints' => array(
'controller' => '[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_-]*',
'action' => '[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_-]*',
),
'defaults' => array(
),
),
),
),
),
'controllers' => array(
'invokables' => array(
'svc\Controller\Clients' => 'svc\Controller\ClientsController',
),
),
'view_manager' => array(
'template_path_stack' => array(
'album' => __DIR__ . '/../view',
),
),
);
JFYI, here is what my controller looks like.
namespace svc\Controller;
use Zend\Mvc\Controller\AbstractActionController;
use Zend\View\Model\ViewModel;
class ClientsController extends AbstractActionController {
public function indexAction() {
return new ViewModel();
}
public function anotherAction(){
return new ViewModel();
}
}
My routes are not working. I get "route not found" when I try to pull up any of my routes.
