ZF2 - Get controller name into layout/views

Question

I know with ZF1 you would retrieve the module/controller name using custom View Helpers that would get the singleton frontController object and get the name there.

Answer 1

This would be a solution I got to work with zf2 beta5

module/MyModule/Module.php

namespace MyModule;

use Zend\Mvc\ModuleRouteListener;
use MyModule\View\Helper as MyViewHelper;

class Module
{
    public function onBootstrap($e)
    {
        $app = $e->getApplication();
        $serviceManager = $app->getServiceManager();

        $serviceManager->get('viewhelpermanager')->setFactory('myviewalias', function($sm) use ($e) {
            return new MyViewHelper($e->getRouteMatch());
        });
    }
    ...
}

module/MyModule/src/MyModule/View/Helper.php

namespace MyModule\View;

use Zend\View\Helper\AbstractHelper;

class Helper extends AbstractHelper
{

    protected $route;

    public function __construct($route)
    {
        $this->route = $route;
    }

    public function echoController()
    {
        $controller = $this->route->getParam('controller', 'index');
        echo $controller;
    }
}

In any viewfile

$this->myviewalias()->echoController();
