Greetings!
It is my pleasure to announce that Zend_View Enhanced is now entirely in
core!
This includes the following helpers:
* Action: dispatches a single controller action and returns the
response body
* Doctype: allows you to specify and echo an HTML/XHTML doctype; also
provides hinting for other helpers that need to be doctype aware
* HeadLink: allows aggregating HTML <link> elements, including
stylesheets, alternate links (e.g., for feeds), and more, as well as
generating the X/HTML markup
* HeadMeta: allows aggregating HTML <meta> tags and generating the
X/HTML markup
* HeadScript: allows aggregating both inline scripts and links to
external scripts, and generating properly escaped markup for
inclusion in your document. An additional InlineScript helper
extends this and can be used for aggregating and including scripts
for inclusion in the document body.
* HeadSctyle: allows aggregating inline <style> elements, and
generating properly escaped X/HTML markup.
* HeadTitle: allows setting and outputting the document title; the
title may be aggregated and returned with an optional separator.
* Partial: include view scripts in their own variable scope.
PartialLoop allows looping over an iterator and including the
specified view script as a partial with data from the iterator
items.
* Placeholder: generic containers for arbitrary aggregated content or
captured content.
These, combined with Zend_Layout, should make the creation of complex
views using Zend Framework a trivial task.
All helpers include a full test suite and documentation, and will be
included in the next release.
Thanks to Paddy Brady and Ralph Schindler for spear-heading these and
providing feedback, as well as to all the people who have tested and
provided feedback in the past week.
