Informations about the package alias-expander
AliasExpander
It is a tool for run-time class alias expanding to its fully qualified name. In brief, it is a workaround for missing ::class constant from PHP 5.5 in PHP 5.3+ and a helper for annotations processing.
If you know the Nette Framework, there is a prepared version of expander for using with Nette\Cache.
There are some limitations:
- One line code like
namespace First; AliasExpander::expand('Foo'); namespace Second;may leads to wrong expanding. It is not so easy to implement it because PHP tokenizer and debug_backtrace() provides only line number, but not the column. This can be a problem in minified code. - Keywords
self,staticandparentare not expanded as in PHP 5.5, but this can be easily solved by__CLASS__,get_called_class()andget_parent_class()instead of AliasExpander using.
