ZF2 ServiceManager - adding new module

Question

I started learning ZF2 but have a problem with ServiceManager.

I tried to add new Module "Menu" to ServiceManager.

In my application/config/module.config.php added this code:

'service_manager' => array(
        'factories' => array(
            'translator' => 'Zend\I18n\Translator\TranslatorServiceFactory',
            'menu'       => 'Application\Menu\MenuServiceFactory',
        ),
    ),

    'menu' => array(

    ),

Application\src\Menu\MenuServiceFactory.php:

namespace Application\Menu;

use Zend\ServiceManager\FactoryInterface;
use Zend\ServiceManager\ServiceLocatorInterface;

/**
 * Menu
 */
class MenuServiceFactory implements FactoryInterface
{
    public function createService(ServiceLocatorInterface $serviceLocator)
    {
        // Configure the Menu
        $config = $serviceLocator->get('Config');
        $menuConfig = isset($config['menu']) ? $config['menu'] : array();
        $menu = Menu::factory($menuConfig);
        return $menu;
    }
}

Application\src\Menu\Menu.php:

namespace Application\Menu;


/**
 * Menu
 */
class Menu
{

    /**
     * Instantiate a menu
     *
     * @param  array $options
     * @return Menu
     */
    public static function factory($options)
    {

        $menu = 'test';
        return $menu;
    }


}

If I tried add this "$menu = $this->getServiceLocator()->get('menu');" I received:

    Zend\ServiceManager\Exception\ServiceNotCreatedException

File:

Does anyone have an idea to resolve this error?

Answer 1

The path for your MenuServiceFactory.php file doesn't match the namespace you've defined in the service manager config.

You need to move your Application/src/Menu folder and all the files it contains to Application/src/Application/Menu
