ZF2 Console Sandbox

Introduction

This repo contains example Console applications built on top of Zend Framework 2

It currently contains 2 example applications, with a few more coming soon.

Matrix Screensaver (/matrix)

This is a Console-only ZF2 application that directly directly calls Zend\Console methods to display a well-known screensaver animation. It features multiple command-line parameters to customize the effect and usage information that is displayed via MVC.

Module Manager experiment (/module-manager)

This is an example of web + http application. The web part is a standard Zend Skeleton App that displays a Welcome Page in the browser. When run via zf from terminal (command line) it will invoke a Console-dedicated module, located in modules/ModuleManager that handles various commands and parameters. It mimics a potential, future tool to manager zf2 modules from the command line, but this is out of scope of this experiment - all operations are merely simulated to show integration between MVC and Console.
