I need to add jQuery and other javascript files to my Zend Framework project. I am trying to do it with an Action controller:-
public function userinfoAction()
{
$this->view->headScript()->appendFile($basePath .'/js/validate_jquary.js');
$this->headScript()->appendFile('http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js');
return new ViewModel();
}
But it is not working.
Here is how you can use view helpers from within a controller in ZF2 to solve your problem:
public function someAction()
{
$this->getViewHelper('HeadScript')->appendFile($basePath . '/js/somejs.js');
}
protected function getViewHelper($helperName)
{
return $this->getServiceLocator()->get('viewhelpermanager')->get($helperName);
}
$this->HeadScript()->appendFile('http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js','text/javascript');
$this->HeadScript()->appendFile('http://localhost/zend/public/js/validate_jquary.js','text/javascript');
It is OK with this code in the view. But I don't know is this correct method.
Probably the easiest way to use view helpers from within a controller in ZF2 is via the renderer object:
public function someAction()
{
$renderer = $this->serviceLocator->get('Zend\View\Renderer\RendererInterface');
$renderer->headScript()->appendFile($renderer->baseUrl() . '/js/somejs.js');
}
you can try this. its works fine for me
//write these lines in your SampleController
public function someAction()
{
$this->getViewHelper('HeadScript')->appendFile('/js/yourjsfile.js');
$this->getViewHelper('HeadScript')->appendFile('/js/jquery/jquery.min.js');
}
// write following method in controller
protected function getViewHelper($helperName)
{
return $this->getServiceLocator()->get('viewhelpermanager')->get($helperName);
}
You aren't using the view to add jquery:
$this->view->headScript()->appendFile('http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js');
a good way for that is to use the below code in your controller action lets say u want to include the paginator.js
$this->view->headScript()->appendFile($this->view->baseUrl().'/js/paginator.js');
All of the above is giving tons of errors for me and $this->view->headScript() is at all about Zend Framework 1. This works for me:
in your controller before controller's class definition add:
use Zend\View\Helper\HeadScript;
and then you may use something like this in your controller (sure you may use it in any action, not only in the constructor):
/**
* @var Zend\View\Helper\HeadScript
*/
protected $headScript;
function __construct() {
$this->headScript = new HeadScript();
$this->headScript->appendFile('http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js','text/javascript');
}
and then you should add this to your layout:
<?php echo $this->headScript(); ?>
$this->headScript()in your layout or view? Also, the fact that you have a return statement in your action doesn't look right to me, although I'm not familiar with ZF2, so it may be valid.$this->headScript()in the controller.
