The Yaf_Loader class

(No version information available, might only be in SVN)

Einführung

Yaf_Loader introduces a comprehensive autoloading solution for Yaf.

The first time an instance of Yaf_Application is retrieved, Yaf_Loader will instance a singleton, and registers itself with spl_autoload. You retrieve an instance using the Yaf_Loader::getInstance()

Yaf_Loader attempt to load a class only one shot, if failed, depend on yaf.use_spl_auload, if this config is On Yaf_Loader::autoload() will return FALSE, thus give the chance to other autoload function. if it is Off (by default), Yaf_Loader::autoload() will return TRUE, and more important is that a very usefull warning will be triggerd (very usefull to find out why a class could not be loaded).

Hinweis:

Please keep yaf.use_spl_autoload Off unless there is some library have their own autoload mechanism and impossible to rewrite it.

By default, Yaf_Loader assume all library (class defined script) store in the global library directory, which is defined in the php.ini(yaf.library).

If you want Yaf_Loader search some classes(libraries) in the local class directory(which is defined in application.ini, and by default, it is application.directory . "/libraray"), you should register the class prefix using the Yaf_Loader::registerLocalNameSpace()

Let's see some examples(assuming APPLICATION_PATH is application.directory):

Beispiel #1 Config example

// Assuming the following configure in php.ini:
yaf.libraray = "/global_dir"

//Assuming the following configure in application.ini
application.libraray = APPLICATION_PATH "/library"
Assuming the following local name space registerd:

Beispiel #2 Register localnamespace

<?php
class Bootstrap extends Yaf_Bootstrap_Abstract{
     public function _initLoader($dispatcher) {
          Yaf_Loader::getInstance()->registerLocalNameSpace(array("Foo", "Bar"));
     }
?>
Then the autoload examples:

Beispiel #3 Load class example

class Foo_Bar_Test =>
  // APPLICATION_PATH/library/Foo/Bar/Test.php
  
class GLO_Name  =>
  // /global_dir/Glo/Name.php
 
class BarNon_Test
  // /global_dir/Barnon/Test.php
As of PHP 5.3, you can use namespace:

Beispiel #4 Load namespace class example

class \Foo\Bar\Dummy =>
   // APPLICATION_PATH/library/Foo/Bar/Dummy.php

class \FooBar\Bar\Dummy =>
   // /global_dir/FooBar/Bar/Dummy.php

You may noticed that all the folder wth the first letter capitalized, you can make them lowercase by set yaf.lowcase_path = On in php.ini

Yaf_Loader is also designed to load the MVC classes, and the rule is:

Beispiel #5 MVC class loading example

Controller Classes =>
// APPLICATION_PATH/controllers/

Model Classes =>
// APPLICATION_PATH/models/

Plugin Classes =>
// APPLICATION_PATH/plugins/
Yaf identify a class's suffix(this is by default, you can also change to the prefix by change the configure yaf.name_suffix) to decide whether it is a MVC class:

Beispiel #6 MVC class distinctions

Controller Classes =>
    // ***Controller

Model Classes =>
    // ***Model

Plugin Classes =>
    // ***Plugin
some examples:

Beispiel #7 MVC loading example

class IndexController
    // APPLICATION_PATH/controllers/Index.php

class DataModel =>
   // APPLICATION_PATH/models/Data.php

class DummyPlugin =>
  // APPLICATION_PATH/plugins/Dummy.php

class A_B_TestModel =>
  // APPLICATION_PATH/models/A/B/Test.php

Hinweis:

As of 2.1.18, Yaf supports Controllers autoloading for user script side, (which means the autoloading triggered by user php script, eg: access a controller static property in Bootstrap or Plugins), but autoloader only try to locate controller class script under the default module folder, which is "APPLICATION_PATH/controllers/".

also, the directory will be affected by yaf.lowcase_path.
