Code completion

This package requires my sister package https://github.com/deanblackborough/zf3-view-helpers-code-completion which can be used to provide code completion for all the view helpers as well as the default Zend view helpers.

Override $this in your views.

/** @var $this DBlackborough\Zf3ViewHelpersCC\CustomAndZend */

Installation

The easiest way to use the view helpers is with composer. composer require deanblackborough/zf3-view-helpers, alternatively include the classes in src/ in your library.

'view_helpers' => [
        'factories' => [
            Zf3ViewHelpers\Bootstrap4Jumbotron::class => InvokableFactory::class,
            Zf3ViewHelpers\Bootstrap3Button::class => InvokableFactory::class,
            Zf3ViewHelpers\Bootstrap4Button::class => InvokableFactory::class, 
            ... => ...
        ],
        'aliases' => [
