Controller events

[danizord]

This is a try to add more flexibility to validation and hydration behaviors of ZfrRest. Not sure if I got the best approach yet tbh, so I opened this PR as a request for comments.

I agree for the controller. This is definitely the way to go.

[bakura10]

I really like it. It removes a lot of crap from the controller, make everything more flexible... that's really nice.

[bakura10]

Also, please update doc :D.

[bakura10]

Just a rough idea, maybe it's plain stupid, but for easier usage, may we automatically attach listeners in the controller (like "preInputFilter", "postInputFilter"...), with empty functions defined by default. So if someone want to have specific behaviour, they can just override the method, and do not need the hassle of manually attaching the listeners.

[bakura10]

Any news? :d

Nice idea, I'll do it. (Not sure if post* is that useful, though)

[bakura10]

Looks very good to me. Let's just wait for an @Ocramius review :).

[Ocramius]

Should probably have a mirrored validate.post

[bakura10]

That's what I told, but I think there is nearly no usage to having this event. But we may add it for completeness.

[danizord]

So, should I replace validate.error and validate.success by validate.post?

[bakura10]

I don't think so. Post could be an additional event triggered in both cases. But again, I'm really not sure about the usefulness of it... I'd say that we should not include it, and if someone really need that... we'll include it.

[bakura10]

Any news about your new idea? :D

[bakura10]

Too bad this was never finished :(.

[bakura10]

I'm closing, #184 will bring a whole new architecture that is not backward-compatible.
