Making a Zend Framework 3 MVC app return a simple string

Question

I have a ZF MVC app I created with composer create-project -sdev zendframework/skeleton-application my-application

I made a controller like the following.

class SomeController extends AbstractRestfulController { public function someAction() { $key = $this->params()->fromQuery('key'); if (empty($key)) { $this->response->setStatusCode(Response::STATUS_CODE_400); return new JsonModel([ 'status'=> 'Error', 'messages'=> [ 'key required' ], ]); } return $this->someService->getStringByKey($key)); } }

I want it to return a content type of text/plain with a body of the results of SomeService::getStringByKey($key). Instead I get the error:

Zend\View\Renderer\PhpRenderer::render: Unable to render template "XXXXXXXXXX"; resolver could not resolve to a file `

How do I make the controller actions just return plain strings?

Well, you are very close :)

class SomeController extends AbstractRestfulController { /** * @return \Zend\Http\PhpEnvironment\Response */ public function someAction() { $string = $this->someService->getStringByKey($key)); $this->response->getHeaders()->addHeaderLine('Content-Type: text/plain'); return $this->response->setContent($string); } }

Thanks. Made an edit so the mime type would be set. I was hoping for a more cleaner solutions like a RawTextStrategy, but this will do for now.

Hm, yu can check existing Models and Strategy github.com/zendframework/zend-view/tree/master/src Strategy for raw plan text maybe would be a overengineering :) but anyhow interesting...

I'm working on a legacy app that uses Zend 1.10. This question came up when I tried to ask this for Zend 1.10, so I'll make a comment here for reference to my future self and others that may come across this, as I could not figure this out anywhere else (even in the Zend docs, which it must be there somewhere). The $this->response pattern was added after Zend 1.10. In Zend 1.10 $this->getResponse() must be called. The full example would be $this->getResponse()->setBody('something'); $this->getResponse()->sendResponse(); exit; Well, some headers must be set somewhere, too.
