ViewHelpers

Beside the controllers, the domain objects and the templates we ship a few useful view helpers. To avoid a strong coupling between the extension and fluid as template engine we tried to keep all ViewHelpers as “slim” as possible. Whenever it was possible we moved the logic into custom service classes and just use them in the ViewHelper.

Since everything belongs to the “SearchResultSet” and we wanted to avoid the need ob passing this object around from “template to template” and “partial to partial” we decided to provide an own “ControllerContext” that referenced the “SearchResultSet”. With this approach, it is possible to access the “SearchResultSet” in every ViewHelper.

With the current release we ship the following concrete ViewHelpers:
