custom routing for content pages in zf2 - zend-framework2

Question

Hello to all zend coders. I am newbie to zend, doing code for manage pages through DB.
I want to use URL for these pages like this:
www.domainname.com/about-us
www.domainname.com/contact-us
...
Table name is 'cms_page' & attributes are:
`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`title` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`page_key` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`content` longtext NOT NULL,
`added_on` datetime NOT NULL,
I have done R&D for this and here are code:
// in module.config.php
'navigation' => array(
'default' => array(
'account' => array(
'label' => 'Account',
'route' => 'node',
'params' => array(
'id' => '2',
),
'pages' => array(
'home' => array(
'label' => 'Dashboard',
'route' => 'node',
'params' => array(
'id' => '1',
'link' => '/test'
),
),
'login' => array(
'label' => 'Sign In',
'route' => 'node',
'params' => array(
'id' => '5',
'link' => '/about-us'
),
),
'logout' => array(
'label' => 'Sign Out',
'route' => 'node',
'params' => array(
'id' => '3',
),
),
),
),
),
),
'router' => array(
'routes' => array(
'home' => array(
'type' => 'Zend\Mvc\Router\Http\Literal',
'options' => array(
'route' => '/',
'defaults' => array(
'controller' => 'Application\Controller\Index',
'action' => 'index',
),
),
),
'node' => array(
'type' => 'Application\Router\Alias',
'options' => array(
'route' => '/node[/:id]',
'constraints' => array(
'id' => '[0-9]+'
),
'defaults' => array(
'__NAMESPACE__' => 'Application\Controller',
'controller' => 'Index',
'action' => 'index',
'id' => '0'
),
),
'may_terminate' => true,
),
),
),
// In Module.php
public function onBootstrap(MvcEvent $e)
{
$app = $e->getApplication();
$sm = $app->getServiceManager();
$sm->get('translator');
$sm->get('viewhelpermanager')->setFactory('controllerName', function($sm) use ($e) {
$viewHelper = new View\Helper\ControllerName($e->getRouteMatch());
return $viewHelper;
});
$eventManager = $e->getApplication()->getEventManager();
$moduleRouteListener = new ModuleRouteListener();
$moduleRouteListener->attach($eventManager);
$sm->setFactory('Navigation', 'Zend\Navigation\Service\DefaultNavigationFactory', true);
$alias = $sm->get('Application\Router\Alias');
$nav = $sm->get('Navigation');
$alias->setNavigation($nav);
}
public function getServiceConfig()
{
return array(
'factories' => array(
'Application\Router\Alias' => function($sm) {
$alias = new \Application\Router\Alias('/node[/:id]');
return $alias;
},
)
);
}
// Application\src\Application\Router
namespace Application\Router;
use Traversable;
use Zend\Mvc\Router\Exception;
use Zend\Stdlib\ArrayUtils;
use Zend\Stdlib\RequestInterface as Request;
use Zend\Mvc\Router\Http;
use Zend\Mvc\Router\Http\Segment as Segment;
class Alias extends Segment
{
private static $_navigation = null;
public function match(Request $request, $pathOffset = null)
{
$uri = $request->getUri();
$path = $uri->getPath();
$items = self::$_navigation->findAllBy('route', 'node');
$params = null;
if($items != null){
$t = sizeof($items);
for ($i=0; $i getParams();
if (isset($params['link']) && $params['link']==$path){
echo $uri->setPath('/'.$item->getRoute().'/'.$params['id']);
$request->setUri($uri);
break;
}
}
}
return parent::match($request, $pathOffset);
}
public function setNavigation($navigation){
self::$_navigation = $navigation;
}
protected function buildPath(array $parts, array $mergedParams, $isOptional, $hasChild, array $options)
{
if(isset($mergedParams['link'])){
return $mergedParams['link'];
}
return parent::buildPath($parts, $mergedParams, $isOptional, $hasChild, $options = array());
}
}
When I run this url www.domainname.com/about-us on browser getting 404 error.
Please help me where am I wrong and what code need to add or edit?

You can use the a Zend_Controller_Router_Route as an alternative. Here is a quick tutorial on how to do so:
