README

The Pixel Domain ZF2 utility classes inherit from the base Zend framework providing helper functions to cut the amount of boilerplate code required.

Classes include:

• PixelDomain\Log\Logger that returns a Zend\Log\Logger object that writes errors to disk and also to the PHP stream in development mode
• PixelDomain\Controller\AbstractActionController that provides utility functions getEntityManager() and getLogger() so the Doctrine Entity Manager and PixelDomain Logger objects can be accessed via the Service Manager
• PixelDomain\Entity\AbstractEntity and PixelDomain\EntityRepository\AbstractEntityRepository that extend Doctrine, adding in magic getter and setter methods (for the Entity) as well as other utility methods such as getArrayCopy() and populate()
• PixelDomain\Mail\Sendgrid that extends the Zend\Mail SMTP transport to use Sendgrid's SMTP servers by default
• PixelDomain\Service\AbstractService that provides utility functions getEntityManager() and getLogger() so the Doctrine Entity Manager and PixelDomain Logger objects can be accessed via the Service Manager
