<title>Dijit-Specific View Helpers</title>
<para>
From the Dojo manual: "Dijit is a widget system layered on top of
dojo." Dijit includes a variety of layout and form widgets designed to
provide accessibility features, localization, and standardized (and
themeable) look-and-feel.
</para>
<para>
Zend Framework ships a variety of view helpers that allow you to render
and utilize dijits within your view scripts. There are three basic
types:
</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
<emphasis>Layout Containers</emphasis>: these are designed to be
used within your view scripts or consumed by form decorators
for forms, sub forms, and display groups. They wrap the various
classes offerred in <command>dijit.layout</command>. Each dijit layout view helper
expects the following arguments:
</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
<varname>$id</varname>: the container name or <acronym>DOM</acronym> ID.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
<varname>$content</varname>: the content to wrap in the
layout container.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
<varname>$params</varname> (optional): dijit-specific
parameters. Basically, any non-HTML attribute that can
be used to configure the dijit layout container.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
<varname>$attribs</varname> (optional): any additional
<acronym>HTML</acronym> attributes that should be used to render the
container div. If the key 'id' is passed in this array, it will
be used for the form element <acronym>DOM</acronym> id, and
<varname>$id</varname> will be used for its name.
</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>
If you pass no arguments to a dijit layout view helper, the
helper itself will be returned. This allows you to capture
content, which is often an easier way to pass content to the
layout container. Examples of this functionality will be shown
later in this section.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
<emphasis>Form Dijit</emphasis>: the <command>dijit.form.Form</command> dijit, while
not completely necessary for use with dijit form elements, will
ensure that if an attempt is made to submit a form that does
not validate against client-side validations, submission will
be halted and validation error messages raised. The form dijit
view helper expects the following arguments:
</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
<varname>$id</varname>: the container name or <acronym>DOM</acronym> ID.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
<varname>$attribs</varname> (optional): any additional
<acronym>HTML</acronym> attributes that should be used to render the
container div.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
<varname>$content</varname> (optional): the content to wrap
in the form. If none is passed, an empty string will be
used.
</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>
The argument order varies from the other dijits in order to
keep compatibility with the standard <methodname>form()</methodname> view
helper.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
<emphasis>Form Elements</emphasis>: these are designed to be
consumed with <classname>Zend_Form</classname>, but can be used
standalone within view scripts as well. Each dijit element view
helper expects the following arguments:
</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
<varname>$id</varname>: the element name or <acronym>DOM</acronym> ID.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
<varname>$value</varname> (optional): the current value of the element.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
<varname>$params</varname> (optional): dijit-specific
parameters. Basically, any non-HTML attribute that can
be used to configure a dijit.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
<varname>$attribs</varname> (optional): any additional
<acronym>HTML</acronym> attributes that should be used to render the dijit.
If the key 'id' is passed in this array, it will be used
for the form element <acronym>DOM</acronym> id, and <varname>$id</varname>
will be used for its name.
</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>
Some elements require more arguments; these will be noted with
the individual element helper descriptions.
</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>
In order to utilize these view helpers, you need to register the path
to the dojo view helpers with your view object.
</para>
<example id="zend.dojo.view.dijit.prefixpath">

</example>
<sect3 id="zend.dojo.view.dijit.layout">
<title>Dijit Layout Elements</title>
<para>
The <command>dijit.layout</command> family of elements are for creating custom,
predictable layouts for your site. For any questions on general
usage, <ulink
url="http://dojotoolkit.org/reference-guide/dijit/layout.html">read
more about them in the Dojo manual</ulink>.
</para>
<para>
All dijit layout elements have the signature <command>string ($id = null, $content = '',
array $params = array(), array $attribs = array())</command>.
In all caess, if you pass no arguments, the helper object itself will be returned. This
gives you access to the <methodname>captureStart()</methodname> and
<methodname>captureEnd()</methodname> methods, which allow you to capture
content instead of passing it to the layout container.

Unlike ComboBox, however, FilteringSelect does not allow
typing in an option not in its list. Additionally, it

<title>Custom Dijits</title>
<para>
If you delve into Dojo much at all, you'll find yourself writing
custom dijits, or using experimental dijits from Dojox. While Zend
Framework cannot support every dijit directly, it does provide some
rudimentary support for arbitrary dijit types via the
<classname>CustomDijit</classname> view helper.
</para>
<para>
The <classname>CustomDijit</classname> view helper's <acronym>API</acronym> is exactly
that of any other dijit, with one major difference: the third "params"
argument <emphasis>must</emphasis> contain the attribute "dojotype".
The value of this attribute should be the Dijit class you plan to
use.
</para>
<para>
<classname>CustomDijit</classname> extends the base
<classname>DijitContainer</classname> view helper, which also allows it to
capture content (using the
<methodname>captureStart()</methodname>/<methodname>captureEnd()</methodname> pair of
methods). <methodname>captureStart()</methodname> also expects that you pass the
"dojoType" attribute to its "params" argument.
</para>
<example id="zend.dojo.view.dijit.custom.example">
<title>Using CustomDijit to render a dojox.layout.ContentPane</title>
<para>
<command>dojox.layout.ContentPane</command> is a next-generation
iteration of <command>dijit.layout.ContentPane</command>, and provides
a superset of that class's capabilities. Until it's
functionality stabilizes, it will continue to live in Dojox.
However, if you want to use it in Zend Framework today, you can,
using the <classname>CustomDijit</classname> view helper.
</para>
<para>
At its most basic, you can do the following:
</para>
<programlisting language="php"><![CDATA[
<?php echo $this->customDijit(
'foo',
$content,
array(
'dojoType' => 'dojox.layout.ContentPane',
'title' => 'Custom pane',
'region' => 'center'
)
); ?>
]]></programlisting>
<para>
If you wanted to capture content instead, simply use the
<methodname>captureStart()</methodname> method, and pass the "dojoType" to
the "params" argument:
</para>
<programlisting language="php"><![CDATA[
<?php $this->customDijit()->captureStart(
'foo',
array(
'dojoType' => 'dojox.layout.ContentPane',
'title' => 'Custom pane',
'region' => 'center'
)
); ?>
This is the content of the pane
<?php echo $this->customDijit()->captureEnd('foo'); ?>
]]></programlisting>
<para>
You can also extend <classname>CustomDijit</classname> easily to create
support for your own custom dijits. As an example, if you
extended <command>dijit.layout.ContentPane</command> to create your
own <command>foo.ContentPane</command> class, you could create the
following helper to support it:
</para>
<programlisting language="php"><![CDATA[
class My_View_Helper_FooContentPane
extends Zend_Dojo_View_Helper_CustomDijit
{
protected $_defaultDojoType = 'foo.ContentPane';
public function fooContentPane(
$id = null, $value = null,
array $params = array(), array $attribs = array()
) {
return $this->customDijit($id, $value, $params, $attribs);
}
}
]]></programlisting>
<para>
As long as your custom dijit follows the same basic <acronym>API</acronym> as
official dijits, using or extending <classname>CustomDijit</classname>
should work correctly.
</para>
