Response

    To return a simple string response, use the service.

    Rendered View

    Pagekit can render the view and return the response for you. Simply return an array, with a key $view set to an array containing a title and a view name.

    All other parameters in the array, will be accessible in the view. Learn more about .

    1. {
    2.     return [
    3.         '$view' => [
    4.             'title' => 'Hello World',
    5.             'name' => 'hello:views/index.php',
    6.         ],
    7.         'name' => $name
    8.     ];
    9. }

    A themed response embeds the controller's result within a surrounding layout, usually defined by the theme. Simply return a string from the controller.

    1. public function indexAction()
    2. {
    3.     return 'My content';
    4. }

    JSON

    There are two ways to return a JSON response from the controller:

    If the action either returns an array or an object that implements \JsonSerializable, a JsonResponse will be generated automatically.

    1. public function jsonAction()
    2. {    
    3.     return $this['response']->json(['error' => true, 'message' => 'There is nothing here. Move along.']);

    Use a redirect response to redirect the user.

    1. public function redirectAction()
    2. {
    3.     return $this['response']->redirect('@hello/greet/name', ['name' => 'Someone']);
    4. }

    Custom response and error pages

    Return any custom HTTP response using create.

    The streamed response allows to stream the content back to the client. It takes a callback function as its first argument. Within that callback, a call to flush will be emitted directly to the client.

    1. public function streamAction()
    2. {
    3.     return $this['response']->stream(function() {
    4.         echo 'Hello World';
    5.         flush();
    6.         echo 'Hello Pagekit';
    7.         flush();
    8.     });
    9. }

    Download

    1. public function downloadAction()
    2. {
    3.     return $this['response']->download('extensions/hello/extension.svg');
