The document provides a series of tips and insights on using modules in PHP, particularly within the context of the Zend Framework. It emphasizes the importance of configuration, the use of PSR standards for interoperability, and best practices for module registration and management. The author also highlights the role of open source contributions in improving software quality and features.

2. There is a module for
everything!

3. How?!

5. Packaging AND
Code Reuse

6. PSR are your best friends!
PSR standards are the pillars
of interoperability

7. Where/is/my/dir?
Follow the framework tree

8. Configuration is necessary..
• Do not overdo
• Don’t be lazy
• Choose pertinent index names
• User namespace
• Set default values
Gianluca Arbezzano - @GianArb – https://github.com/GianArb

9. There are different
configuration layers
module.config.php
global.php
local.php
….
Use /config/autoload directory for manage
options override!

10. Good Implementation!
ZendDeveloperToolsModule
public function onBootstrap(EventInterface $event)
{
……
if (!$options->isEnabled()) {
return;
}
…...
$em->attachAggregate($sm->get('ZendDeveloperToolsProfilerListener'));
if ($options->isToolbarEnabled()) {
$sem->attach('profiler', $sm->get('ZendDeveloperToolsToolbarListener'), null);
…….
}

11. How to register a module inside
your application
return array(
'modules' => array(
’Application',
’MyModule’,
…..
),
'module_listener_options' => array(
'config_glob_paths' => array(
'config/autoload/{,*.}{global,local}.php',
),
'module_paths' => array(
'./module',
'./vendor',
),
),
);

12. Think abaut an
overridable
configuration

13. Config
Application
'controllers' => array(
'invokables' => array(
'ApplicationControllerIndex' => 'ApplicationControllerIndexController',
),
),
MyModule
'controllers' => array(
'invokables' => array(
'ApplicationControllerIndex' => ’MyModuleControllerIndexController',
),
),

14. Override views
Application
MyModule
Config:
Config:
'view_manager' => array(
'template_path_stack' => array(
__DIR__ . '/../view',
),
),
'view_manager' => array(
'template_path_stack' => array(
__DIR__ . '/../view',
),
),
Directorty Structure:
Directory Structure:
view/
index/
index/
index.phtml
view/
index/
index/
index.phtml

15. Console Usage
class Module {
public function getConsoleUsage(AdapterInterface $console)
{
return array(
array('test [--params=]', 'Description of test command’),
array('run ', 'Start anction')
);
}
}

16. Console entry point
Example
https://github.com/doctrine/DoctrineModule/tree/master/bin
Composer:
{
…,
“bin”: [
bin/console-file
],
…
}

17. Service locator!
ServiceFactory VS Closure
Closure isn’t serializable
Module.php is more readable
Closures limit the ability to cache the cofiguration

18. Register Event to
increase flexibility!
Gianluca Arbezzano - @GianArb – https://github.com/GianArb

19. Aggregate & composition
Gianluca Arbezzano - @GianArb – https://github.com/GianArb

20. Composer or Not Composer
Both!
Gianluca Arbezzano - @GianArb – https://github.com/GianArb

21. Zend Framework is modular!
{
“name”: “my-module/use-only-feed-component”,
“description”:”Automatic feed reader”,
“licence” : “MIT”,
…..,
“require”:[
“zend-framework/zend-framework” : “2.2.*”
],
}
"require": {
"php": ">=5.3.3",
"zendframework/zend-feed": "self.version”
},

22. Open Source..
Why?
