FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

Namespace Class Loader for Contao 3

This extension implements a valid PSR-0 class loader for Contao 3. The implementation is based on the Composer\Autoload\ClassLoader.

This extension is outdated, see the Upgrade information!

Usage

Place all files in system/modules/_autoload in your Contao installation.

Usage works similar to the Contao class loader, except that you do not need to include every class file if you follow PSR-0 standards. Use the following example to implement the class loader in your config/autoload.php:

Upgrade to Contao 4

In Contao 4, the only way to install extensions is using Composer. Therefore, you will not need this extension but should use Composer's class loader.

To be compatible with Contao 3 extension repository and Contao 4, you will need to require at least Contao 3.3 and set it up as follow:

  1. Define your namespaces or classes in composer.json.
  2. Remove the dependency for terminal42/contao-namespace-class-loader from your composer.json
  3. Keep the dependency in the old Extension Repository

  4. Make _autoload an optional dependency in your autoload.ini like so:

    requires[] = "*_autoload"

  5. Only call NamespaceClassLoader in your autoload.php if the class is actually available:

    if (class_exists('NamespaceClassLoader')) {
    NamespaceClassLoader::add( ... );
}

If the extension is installed via Composer, the classes will be loaded by the Composer autoloader. When installed using the old extension repository, the _autoload extension will be added and the classes will work like before.

See our commit on how we accomplished this in Isotope eCommerce.
