    }

   ...
   'modules' => array(
        'RznViewComponent',
   ),
   ...

Configuration

Here is basic configuration:

return array(
    'rznviewcomponent' => array(
        'cache_service' => 'cache_view_component',
        'cache_adapter' => array(
                                'name' => 'filesystem',
                                'options' => array(
                                    'ttl' => 3600,
                                    'dirLevel' => 2,
                                    'file_locking' => false,
                                    'cacheDir' => 'data/cache',
                                    'dirPermission' => 0755,
                                    'filePermission' => 0666,
                                ),
                            ),
        'cache_remove_item_key' => 'slay_component_cache', 
        'cache_allow'   => false, // check cache adapter options and set true to enable component cache
        'view_script_prefix' => '', // not used yet
        'use_result_object' => false
    )
); 

If you want to make changes copy /module.config.php to /config/autoload/rzn-view-component.global.php or insert part of configuration array into your application config.

Config parameters

1. cache_service

Name of cache service. Module has its own desctipted cashe service "cache_view_component".You can specify you own service which implements Zend\Cache\Storage\StorageInterface.

2. cache_adapter

Configuration array for Zend cache factory. Here is default values.

3. cache_remove_item_key

Parameter specifies the name of a variable from a query, a positive value which resets the cache component of the current site page. Specify a blank value, if you want to disable this ability.

Example: http://mymegasite.com/catalog/frogs.html?slay_component_cache=1

3. use_result_object

By default view helper includeComponent returns html to show on a site page. If you need helper returns extra data (tile for block, result flag) set true. What values component will return you need to define in the fourth parameter of helper. For this purpose use the key result_key_return.

Example:

    <?= $this->includeComponent('bank-info', 'component/bank-info', 	
                                array('id' = $this->id), 
                                array('result_key_return' => array('title'))) ?>

Value for title comes from data array which service bank-info transfers into view. Result object implements array interface and has magic function __toString.
