Question

Zend_Framework -- How do I put Javascript in the layout?

Answer 1

+1 A:

I think there is no build in mechanism. Iam using an small controller plugin like this:

class My_Controller_Plugin_JavaScript extends Zend_Controller_Plugin_Abstract

{

/**
 * preDispatch
 * Check controller name, and include javaScript library
 *
 * @param Zend_Controller_Request_Abstract $request
 * @return void
 */
public function preDispatch(Zend_Controller_Request_Abstract $request)
{
    $layout = Zend_Layout::getMvcInstance();
    $view = $layout->getView();
    $controller = $request->getControllerName();

    $jsFile = $controller . '-lib.js';
    $jsPath = $view->baseUrl() .
               '/js/' . $controller .
               '/';

    $sPath = PUBLIC_PATH . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'js' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;
    $sPath .= $controller . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $jsFile;

    if (file_exists($sPath)) { // load as last js (offset 100)
        $view->headScript()->offsetSetFile(
            100,
            $jsPath . $jsFile


           );
        }
    }
}

It adds an js file by controller name. Layout iam echoing it

<?= $this->headScript(); ?>

You could extend it to use action to. Iam sure there are better ways, but it works!

Yes, but what he really need is the ability to create js files on the fly based on specifc values set in the view script...

A:

Hi , Zend Framework had view helpers to add javascript file(first snippet) + text javascript(second snippet) you could add javascript files

<?php
                $this->headScript()->appendFile($this->baseUrl("js/jquery-1.4.2.min"))
                        ->appendFile($this->baseUrl("js/jquery-ui-1.8.2.custom.min"));
                $this->headScript()->appendScript("js/dummy.js");
                echo $this->headScript();

        ?>

then in some where else , you could add

    <?php $this->headScript()->captureStart() ?>
// start jquery functions 
    var action = '<?php echo $this->baseUrl ?>'; 
    $('foo_form').action = action;
// end jquery functions 
    <?php $this->headScript()->captureEnd() ?>

The following assumptions are made:

The script will be appended to the stack. If you wish for it to replace the stack or be added to the top, you will need to pass 'SET' or 'PREPEND', respectively, as the first argument to captureStart(). The script MIME type is assumed to be 'text/javascript'; if you wish to specify a different type, you will need to pass it as the second argument to captureStart(). If you wish to specify any additional attributes for the tag, pass them in an array as the third argument to captureStart().to captureStart().

Extending my comment

Here is the doc for what are you looking for:

http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.view.helpers.html#zend.view.helpers.initial.headscript

You can use captureStart() and create your scripts dynamically inside each related view. With this approach you don't need to create *.js.php files.
