Zend Framework 2 routing and setting the defaults 'module', 'controller', 'action' of a route -

i'm using zend 2 version 2.2.5 , skeleton application. added simple 'member' module , inside 'testcontroller.php'.

what best way write 'test' route's 'defaults' section?

and later, how 'module' name matched route? expect there simple way in zf2 'module', 'controller', 'action', don't know how.

option 1: produces 404 error

'defaults' => array(   'module'     => 'member',   'controller' => 'test',   'action'     => 'index', ),  $matchedroute->getparam('module');     prints 'member' $matchedroute->getparam('controller'); prints 'test' $matchedroute->getparam('action');     prints 'index' 

a 404 error occurred page not found. requested controller not mapped existing controller class. controller: test(resolves invalid controller class or alias: test)

option 2: works, 'module' empty

'defaults' => array(   '__namespace__' => 'member\controller',   'controller'    => 'test',   'action'        => 'index', ),  $matchedroute->getparam('module');     prints '' <= empty $matchedroute->getparam('controller'); prints 'test' $matchedroute->getparam('action');     prints 'index' 

option 3: works, 'module' empty

'defaults' => array(   'controller' => 'member\controller\test',   'action'     => 'index', ),  $matchedroute->getparam('module');     prints '' <= empty $matchedroute->getparam('controller'); prints 'member\controller\test' $matchedroute->getparam('action');     prints 'index' 

i try 'module', 'controller', 'action' in onbootstrap() code:

$sm = $application->getservicemanager(); $router = $sm->get('router'); $request = $sm->get('request'); $matchedroute = $router->match($request); print($matchedroute->getparam('module')); print($matchedroute->getparam('controller')); print($matchedroute->getparam('action')); 

you typically add route action below:

'test' => array(    'type' => 'zend\mvc\router\http\literal',    'options' => array(       'route'    => '/test',       'defaults' => array(          'module'     => '__namespace__',          'controller' => '__namespace__\controller\test',          'action'     => 'index',       ),     ),   ), 

to make __namespace__ constant work, add following line beginning of module's config:

namespace member; 

extracting parameters route

on route match, router (top-level route class) returns parameters: "defaults" (parameters listed in defaults section of routing configuration) plus wildcard parameters extracted url string.

to retrieve parameter route in controller's action method, typically use params controller plugin , fromroute() method, takes 2 arguments: name of parameter retrieve , value return if parameter not present.

the fromroute() method can used retrieve parameters @ once array. that, call fromroute() without arguments, shown in example below:

// example action. public function indexaction() {    // single 'id' parameter route.   $id = $this->params()->fromroute('id', -1);    // route parameters @ once array.   $params = $this->params()->fromroute();    //...              } 

retrieving routematch , router object

on route match, router class internally creates instance of zend\mvc\router\routematch class, providing methods extracting matched route name , parameters extracted route.

to routematch object controller's action method, can use following code:

// example action. public function indexaction() {    // routematch object.   $routematch = $this->getevent()->getroutematch();    // matched route's name.   $routename = $routematch->getmatchedroutename();    // route parameters @ once array.   $params = $routematch->getparams();    //...              }
