I know you can use Composer's files
scheme to include functions or definitions automatically in every file.
I'd like to take this one step further and never have to manually write a use classname as
statement again in individual files. This is my ideal set up:
/composer.json
:
{
"require": {
"slim/slim": "2.*"
}
"autoload": {
"files": ["init.php"]
}
}
/init.php
:
use Slim\Slim as Slim;
use Slim\Route as Route;
define("RYAN","BRODIE");
/example.php
:
require '/vendor/autoload.php';
echo RYAN; // ✔ outputs "BRODIE"
new Slim(); // × Fatal error: Class 'Slim' not found
This way whenever I add a new namespace or class to an existing namespace, I can add it to init.php
and then use it as I so wish across all of the repository.
