Hi everybody
I really like the View Helper concept but I want to create some kind of a
widget architecture.
I've created some test classes as a proof of concept.
I have inherited from the Abstract View Helper class to create some Widget
Classes. So far so good.
But then I got some problems, such as for example if I wanted to nest
widgets.
After this I looked for other solutions
My new idea is to create a widget element like this pseudo code below
<w:my_widget>
<w:label value="{title}">
<w:my_other_widget>www.test.com<w:my_other_widget>
</w:my_widget>
To get this to work i have to parse the content and create the widgets and
add them together.
Here is some pseudo code of the Parser
$my_other_widget = new my_other_widget();
$my_other_widget->setContent($content); -> content is "www.test.com"
$my_widget = new my_widget();
$my_widget->addChild($my_other_widget,$key);
$my_widget->setContent($content);
This code has no sense, it is only an idea.
Now to my question
what is the best possibility to parse the output
I have found 3 options so far, another important argument is that I need to
have access to view variables
1. To program a similar "Widget" ViewHelper as the "PlaceHolder" ViewHelper
<?php $this->widget(array('title' => $my_title))->captureStart(); ?>
<w:my_widget>
<w:label value="{title}">
<w:my_other_widget>www.test.com<w:my_other_widget>
</w:my_widget>
<?php $this->widget()->captureEnd(); ?>
And parse the output and translate directly into HTML and echo it at the
captureEnd() method, but this method is a little ugly
2. Inherit from the PhpRenderer and parsing the output in the render ()
method
qustion:
Do I need to develop my own resolver and rendering Startegy when i inherit
from Phprenderer or is it an easy task to do?
3. Injecting a filter chain object into the Phprenderer with setFilterChain
() method
I like to test this approach but i havent found a solution to get the
phprender instance.
Question:
How can i inject an output filter into the Phprenderer instance ? do i need
to use a factoriy in the service_manager?
What is the best approach to go for ?
Are there any better/faster ways to parse the output ?
I would love to here some suggestions
Best regards
Michael Haessig
