Zend Framework module – configuration


Zend Framework 2.0 module configuration is spread across a series of files which can be found in the skeleton module. Some of the configuration files are described as follows:

  • Module.php: The Zend Framework 2 module manager looks for the Module.php file in the module's root folder. The module manager uses the Module.php file to configure the module and invokes the getAutoloaderConfig() and getConfig() methods.

  • autoload_classmap.php: The getAutoloaderConfig() method in the skeleton module loads autoload_classmap.php to include any custom overrides other than the classes loaded using the standard autoloader format. Entries can be added or removed to the autoload_classmap.php file to manage these custom overrides.

  • config/module.config.php: The getConfig() method loads config/module.config.php; this file is used for configuring various module configuration options including routes, controllers, layouts, and various other configurations.
