Necessity of replacing HelperPluginManagerFactory to use zend-form view helpers

kevinsmith · February 18, 2018, 3:11pm

Hello. The documentation at
https://docs.zendframework.com/zend-expressive/cookbook/using-zend-form-view-helpers/

suggests to replace HelperPluginManagerFactory or provide a delegate
to configure Zend\View\HelperPluginManager with zend form view helpers.

But is this necessary?

The zend-form config provider (zendframework/zend-form/src/ConfigProvider.php)
returns the form view helpers with a ‘view_helpers’ key for which, it seems to me, the existing
HelperPluginManagerFactory already checks for.

I have tested this and zend-form view helpers seem to work without replacing HelperPluginManagerFactory.

# How can I use zend-form view helpers?

If you've selected zend-view as your preferred template renderer, you'll likely
want to use the various view helpers available in other components, such as:

- zend-form
- zend-i18n
- zend-navigation

By default, only the view helpers directly available in zend-view are available;
how can you add the others?

To add the zend-form view helpers create a file `config/autoload/zend-form.global.php`
with the contents:

```php
<?php
use Zend\Form\ConfigProvider;

$provider = new ConfigProvider();
