Providers

Providers let you create your navigation containers from various sources. The following providers are included out of the box:

  • array: builds a container from an array.
  • config: builds a container from a file using Zend\Config.
  • json: builds a container from a json string.

Creating containers

Creating navigation containers is done via the module configuration using the spiffy_navigation key. The containers array can take two types of values: a string and an array. If you pass a string the container will be created from a provider matching the name if it exists, pulled from the service manager or instantiated directly. If you pass an array the container is built using the ContainerFactory::create() method.

<?php

// module.config.php
return array(
    'spiffy_navigation' => array(
        'containers' => array(
            'default' => array(
                array(
                    'options' => array(
                        'uri' => 'http://www.github.com',
                    ),
                    'attributes' => array(
                        'class'  => 'foo',

                ),
                array(
