I'm wondering if there is a way to either pass additional parameters to the constructor (preferred) or retrieve the Request object to check the headers from within the Form constructor so that when I do a getForm in a controller, the form will be customized depending on how it is called?
I'm working on integrating AngularJs bindings and model tags into my form elements but I will need to modify how the submit button works whenever a form is called from Ajax vs being pulled into a Zend template via the framework.
Thus I would like to throw conditional parameters around where the submit button is added to the form, but I need to know if the rendered form is being viewed in zend or is being sent via an ajax call. I can detect the ajax call in the controller by looking at the request headers with isXmlHttpRequest(), but I'm not sure how to let the form know what the controller saw when it's retrieving the form with $this->getForm()
You can inject any options you like using a factory class.
If you inject the request you will need modify
MyForm::__construct
.Update your
module.config.php
to use the factoryThen ensure you request the form from the service manager (in a controller factory)
