| Fully Qualified Name: | Zend\Mvc\Application |
| Implements: | ApplicationInterface, EventManagerAwareInterface |
Main application class for invoking applications
Expects the user will provide a configured ServiceManager, configured with the following services:
The most common workflow is:
$services = new Zend\ServiceManager\ServiceManager($servicesConfig);
$app = new Application($appConfig, $services);
$app->bootstrap();
$response = $app->run();
$response->send();
bootstrap() opts in to the default route, dispatch, and view listeners, sets up the MvcEvent, and triggers the bootstrap event. This can be omitted if you wish to setup your own listeners and/or workflow; alternately, you can simply extend the class to override such behavior.
