How to add an external javascript file to a Zend Framework 2 application?

Question

I need to add jQuery and other javascript files to my Zend Framework project. I am trying to do it with an Action controller:-

Here is how you can use view helpers from within a controller in ZF2 to solve your problem:

public function someAction()
{                 
     $this->getViewHelper('HeadScript')->appendFile($basePath . '/js/somejs.js');    
}

protected function getViewHelper($helperName)
{
    return $this->getServiceLocator()->get('viewhelpermanager')->get($helperName);
}
