Rob Allen:
Integrating ZF2 forms into Slim
Aug 26, 2014 @ 14:40:47

Rob Allen has a helpful post if you've ever wanted to take advantage of the simplicity of the Slim framework and the power of the Zend Framework 2 forms. In this latest post he walks you through the process of setting it all up and using the ZF2 elements outside of the main framework.

Let’s say that you want to use Zend Framework 2′s Form component outside of ZF2 itself. In this case, a Slim application. It turns out that Composer makes this quite easy, though there’s quite a lot of code involved, so this is a long article. Start with a really simple Slim Application...

His simple Slim application - just one route - handles both the GET and POST actions and uses several ZF2 components besides just the Form (dependencies mostly). He shows you the updates and additions you'll need to make to the service manager configuration and how to set up some custom validation and the form object in the controller. His example form only has two elements, an email field and a submit button and validation is done on the email address when it's submitted. Finally he includes the View object, extended from Slim's that combines some of the ZF2 and Slim handling to correctly render the form.
