Installation
============

[](#installation)

Add to composer.json
--------------------

[](#add-to-composerjson)

```
"phpro/zf-annotated-forms": "dev-master"

```

Add to application config
-------------------------

[](#add-to-application-config)

```
return array(
    'modules' => array(
        'Phpro\\AnnotatedForms',
        // other libs...
    ),
    // Other config
);
```

Configuration files
-------------------

[](#configuration-files)

Copy `module.zf-annotated-forms-global.dist.php` to your application configuration autoload directory. You can adjust this file and set the default values. The `annotated_forms` can also be declared in your module config.

### Form configuration

[](#form-configuration)

```
return array(
    'annotated_forms' => array(
        'form-key' => array(
            'initializers' => array(),
            'listeners' => array(),
            'cache' => null,
            'cache_key' => 'cached-form-key',
            'entity' => '',
        ),
    ),
);
```

`initializers`: Array of service manager keys, which return InitializerInterfaces. These initializers are used to inject dependencies in form elements.

`listeners`: Array of service manager keys, which return EventListenerAggregateInterface. These listeners can be used to adjust the form.

`cache`: Service manager key, which return Cache\\StorageInterface. This cache storage is used to save parsed annotations. This can be left `null` if you do not want to be using cache.

`cache_key`: The cache key where the parsed configuration is being saved in the cache locator. This can be left `null` if you do not want to be using cache.

`entity`: The name of the class which contains the form annotations.

### Load the form

[](#load-the-form)

You can now use the serviceManager to retrieve your form. In the config example above, you can use:

```
$serviceManager->get('form-key');
```

### Configure cache

[](#configure-cache)

While configuring a cache storage, there are some things to keep in mind:

- Disable the exceptions by default
- Add a serializer
- The ttl of the forms can be infinite if you clear the cache after building your application

Sample configuration:

```
'caches' => [
    'Cache\AnnotatedForms' => [
        'adapter' => [
            'name' => 'redis',
            'options' =>  [
                'namespace' => 'zf-annotated-forms',
                'server' => [
                    'host' => '127.0.0.1',
                    'port' => '6379',
                ],
                'ttl' => 86400 // 1 day
            ],
        ],
        'plugins' => [
            'exception_handler' => [
                'throw_exceptions' => false,
            ],
            'serializer',
        ],
    ],
],
```
