Proposal to Enable Plates Asset Extension about zend-expressive-platesrenderer HOT 4 CLOSED

I'm not certain that this is really the place to put it, it's certainly already possible by using a container and the manual instantiation vs. the factory instantiation. The problem you will start to run into is where does that stop for hooking everything?

Basically the factories should be mostly interchangeable and adding implementation logic on each one can lead to highly customized factories that ultimately do several things that are just simply proxying methods.

On one hand, it makes configurability via configuration far quicker but on the other hand, it makes for more of a maintainability nightmare - especially for future versions. I would say customized handling such as this should be done manually. But feel free to disagree :)

i think the problem is that right now there is no way to configure the PlatesEngine because it's not accessible anywhere, and the renderer factory always instantiate a new one rather than pulling one from the container.
so as it stands, the implementation is quite closed, and to customize the engine one would need to replace the whole renderer factory, which is odd.

I understand, I was hoping it would have been good to have it enabled for the skeleton by default.

While I get the objections that @mwillbanks raises, the fact is that
"asset" helpers are already enabled by default in both the twig and
zend-view implementations. As such, we likely should enable them for
plates.

I see two ways to do so:

• add functionality to the factory for registering them; we have this in
  both the other implementations already (extensions in twig, helpers for
  zend-view).
• allow pulling the base plates engine instance via a factory (which would
  allow configuring it in an application-specific factory)

Anybody want to start a pull request?
