Zend filter is a hard dependency

[harikt]

When calling PhpRenderer it cannot call render method for the

zend-view/src/Renderer/PhpRenderer.php

Line 519 in 8595427

return $this->getFilterChain()->filter($this->__content); // filter output

have dependency on the Filter . The constructor doesn’t specifically mentions the Filter class is needed and throws error .

zend-view/src/Renderer/PhpRenderer.php

Line 145 in 8595427

public function __construct($config = [])

.

Zend\Filter is not required when not using PhpRenderer. See #12 and #3 (comment)

Closing for the rationale @danizord has stated.

To be frank I disagree with the statements expressed in the issues. It just brings frustration when people trying to integrate things. Sorry to say it.

@harikt I get your frustration; there's a reason the issue has been raised a number of times.

We're in an awkward position: if we don't have the dependency, we have some folks upset that it "does not work out of the box." If we add the dependency, we have some folks upset that they're forced to install a dependency they aren't using. We've chosen to err on the side of not providing as many dependencies, as we can document, "to use this, you must also require this in your project;" we cannot document removing a dependency, as it's not possible.

@harikt I think #25 fixes your issue.
