- Service manager = Service locator it's just two names form the same component
- A factory is a class specialized in creation of other class.
- For most of the case in controller we can use trait or retrieve form, service or other from the service manager but for this tutorial I have decided to use Factory with hard dependency. This is more readable and easy to write unit test because mock a service, form or other is more easiest thant mock the service manager.
- In a Factory the service locator injected is not always the global service locator but a specialized service locator.
For example when we create a controller from with Factory, the service locator injected is Zend\Mvc\Controller\ControllerManager
to retrieve the global service locator :
$serviceLocatorSpecialized->getServiceLocator()
- In controller when binding an entity to a form it's passed by reference so whe don't need doing this :
$entity = $form->getData()but for a better readable code we doing it
