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

instead of extending onBootStrap() in Module.php, you can use getViewHelperConfig() (also in Module.php). The actual helper is unchanged, but you get the following code to create it:

public function getViewHelperConfig()
{
   return array(
         'factories' => array(
            'ControllerName' => function ($sm) {
               $match = $sm->getServiceLocator()->get('application')->getMvcEvent()->getRouteMatch();
               $viewHelper = new \Application\View\Helper\ControllerName($match);
               return $viewHelper;
            },
         ),
   );
}
