Response

A response is an output produced by MVC controller.

To output from a controller, you have either to return a string or \Ip\Response object. There are following extended types:

You can implement your own reponse types by extending \Ip\Response class.

A controller should never echo output by itself.

Output a string

This will render default theme layout with retuned string as a content for main block.

return 'Hello world';

Output in JSON format

Mostly used for AJAX interactions

return new \Ip\Response\Json( array('exampleMessage' => 'Hello world'));

Display 404 Page not found message

This will display error 404 page with correct headers.

return new \Ip\Response\PageNotFound();

Redirect a browser to some other page

return new \Ip\Response\Redirect('http://www.example.com');
