Response Writers

I was thinking on what if the dev wanted to output custom output from a page. Currently it is possible, but they have to know the specifics.

Therefor I added response writers. Just return an instance of a response writer, and the application will automaticly handle the request with the data that the response writer returns after processing.

Fairly simple example is this:

class Z_Page_Json extends Z_Page
{
    public function indexAction()
    {  
        $data = array();
        $data[]['name'] = 'somename';
        return new Z_Response_Writer_JSON($data);   
    }
}

The ‘regular’ usage is still rather dirty being:

$this->view = new Z_View_Smarty();               
$this->view->output('test')->handled();       

I can’t pick between naming it Z_Response_Writer_Smarty() or Z_View_Smarty_Writer – any ideas? :)
