PHP-Autoloader

Simple autoloader. Slightly more flexible & less verbose than PSR-4

Composer Installation

"require": { "rof/autoloader": "dev-master" }

Manual Installation

Copy Autoloader.php to wherever you want and require_once it in any script before you need it to function.

Usage

Example:

    // \ROF\Autoloader::addDir($absoluteDirPath, $namespaceOne, $namespaceTwo)
    \ROF\Autoloader::addDir('~/project/class','Person', 'Store');

The call above will enable auto-loading of all the classes in the example project below

project 
    - class/
        - Pet/Cat.php
            - namespace Pet, class Cat
        - Owner.php
            - namespace Person, class Owner
        - Groomer.php
            - namespace Person, class Groomer
        - ToyStore.php
            - namespace Store, class ToyStore
    - view/
    - so-on/

Ideas

• Add auto-namespace & class detection, so you only have to add the directory
• Add namespace file in the class directory (instead of passing through the function call)
• auto-call a static __initialize() function after loading the class
• Cache results - once the class is found, log it's absolute path to a file (along with all the other classes), to use for the next execution of autoloader.
• create an autoload.php file in the target project in order to remove this dependency for release
• Read the project's composer.json file for PSR-4 autoloading
