The ViewEvent

The view layer of Zend Framework 2 incorporates and utilizes a custom Zend\EventManager\Event implementation - Zend\View\ViewEvent. This event is created during Zend\View\View::getEvent() and is passed directly to all the events that method triggers.

The ViewEvent adds accessors and mutators for the following:

• Model object, typically representing the layout view model.
• Renderer object.
• Request object.
• Response object.
• Result object.

The methods it defines are:

• setModel(Model $model)
• getModel()
• setRequest($request)
• getRequest()
• setResponse($response)
• getResponse()
• setRenderer($renderer)
• getRenderer()
• setResult($result)
• getResult()

Order of events

The following events are triggered, in the following order:
