RequestHandler Component

This component was dropped in v5. If you come from v4 and upgrade your app, this can be a 1:1 replacement to allow using the same code as before until further refactoring is possible.

Load it, for example, using:

$options = ['viewClassMap' => ['rss' => 'Feed.Rss'], 'enableBeforeRedirect' => false];
$this->loadComponent('Shim.RequestHandler', $options);

Auto AJAX layout switching

One of the useful features of this component is the globally available auto switch for, for example, the AJAX layout (= none) — rendering out the same page without the surrounding layout.

This can be useful when rendering AJAXified pagination:

<?php $this->append('script'); ?>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
    $('body').on('click', 'div.paging a', function() {
        $('div#messageContainer').fadeTo(300, 0);

        var thisHref = $(this).attr("href");

        $('div#messageContainer').load(thisHref, function() {
            $(this).fadeTo(200, 1);
            $('html, body').animate({
                scrollTop: $("#messageContainer").offset().top
            }, 200);
        });
        return false;
    });
});
</script>
<?php $this->end(); ?>

With the RequestHandler this works out of the box with the same template file(s).
