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

I created CurrentRoute View Helper for this purpose.

Install it:

composer require tasmaniski/zf2-current-route

Register module in config/application.config.php:

'modules' => array(
    '...',
    'CurrentRoute'
),

Use it in any view/layout file:

$this->currentRoute()->getController();  // return current controller name
$this->currentRoute()->getAction();      // return current action name
$this->currentRoute()->getModule();      // return current module name
$this->currentRoute()->getRoute();       // return current route name
