.. _zend.view.view-event:

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:

.. table:: ``ViewEvent`` Events

   +------------------+-----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------+
   |Name              |Constant                           |Description                                  |
   +==================+===================================+=============================================+
   |``renderer``      |``ViewEvent::EVENT_RENDERER``      |Render the view, with the help of renderers. |
   +------------------+-----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------+
   |``renderer.post`` |``ViewEvent::EVENT_RENDERER_POST`` |Triggers after the view is rendered.         |
   +------------------+-----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------+
   |``response``      |``ViewEvent::EVENT_RESPONSE``      |Populate the response from the view.         |
