I can't for the life of me get $this->getServiceLocator() to work in my controller. I've read and tried everything. I'm guessing I'm missing something?? Here is some code.
namespace Login\Controller;
use Zend\Mvc\Controller\AbstractActionController;
use Zend\Session\Container as SessionContainer;
use Zend\Session\SessionManager;
use Zend\View\Model\ViewModel;
use Zend\Mvc\Controller;
use Login\Model\UserInfo;
class LoginController extends AbstractActionController
{
private $db;
public function __construct()
{
$sm = $this->getServiceLocator();
$this->db = $sm->get('db');
}
...
The error I'm getting is:
Fatal error: Call to a member function get() on a non-object in /product/WishList/module/Login/src/Login/Controller/LoginController.php on line 21
To give my comment a little bit more meaning. The ServiceLocator (or rather all ControllerPlugins) are only available at a later point of the livecycle of the Controller.
If you wish you assign a variable that you can easily use throughout your actions, i suggest to either use Lazy-Getters or to inject them using the Factory Pattern
Lazy-Getters
class MyController extends AbstractActionController
{
protected $db;
public function getDb() {
if (!$this->db) {
$this->db = $this->getServiceLocator()->get('db');
}
return $this->db;
}
}
Factory-Pattern
//Module#getControllerConfig()
return array( 'factories' => array(
'MyController' => function($controllerManager) {
$serviceManager = $controllerManager->getServiceLocator();
return new MyController($serviceManager->get('db'));
}
));
//class MyController
public function __construct(DbInterface $db) {
$this->db = $db;
}
Hope that's understandable ;)
I think it is besause your Controller isn't implement the interface of ServiceLocatorAwareInterface.You can see the class Zend\ServiceManager\AbstractPluginManager,in the construct method:
public function __construct(ConfigInterface $configuration = null)
{
parent::__construct($configuration);
$self = $this;
$this->addInitializer(function ($instance) use ($self) {
if ($instance instanceof ServiceLocatorAwareInterface) {
$instance->setServiceLocator($self);
}
});
}
so you must implement it if you want use the ServiceLocator,or extend the class Zend\Mvc\Controller\AbstractActionController it have implementd the ServiceLocatorAwareInterface.
