How to add an external javascript file to a Zend Framework 2 application?

Question

I need to add jQuery and other javascript files to my Zend Framework project. I am trying to do it with an Action controller:-

public function userinfoAction()
{         


        

Answer 1

Probably the easiest way to use view helpers from within a controller in ZF2 is via the renderer object:

public function someAction()
{                 
     $renderer = $this->serviceLocator->get('Zend\View\Renderer\RendererInterface');
     $renderer->headScript()->appendFile($renderer->baseUrl() . '/js/somejs.js');
}
