Providers

Providers let you create your navigation containers from various sources. The following providers are included out of the box:

• array: builds a container from an array.
• config: builds a container from a file using Zend\Config.
• json: builds a container from a json string.

Creating containers

Creating navigation containers is done via the module configuration using the spiffy_navigation key. The containers array can take two types of values: a string and an array. If you pass a string the container will be created from a provider matching the name if it exists, pulled from the service manager or instantiated directly. If you pass an array the container is built using the ContainerFactory::create() method.

<?php

// module.config.php
return array(
    'spiffy_navigation' => array(
        'containers' => array(
            'default' => array(
