MapClassLoader
Warning: You are browsing the documentation for Symfony 3.x, which is no longer maintained.
Read the updated version of this page for Symfony 7.1 (the current stable version).
The MapClassLoader allows you to autoload files via a static map from classes to files. This is useful if you use third-party libraries which don't follow the PSR-0 standards and so can't use the PSR-0 class loader.
The MapClassLoader can be used along with the
PSR-0 class loader by
configuring and calling the register() method on both.
Note
The default behavior is to append the MapClassLoader on the autoload
stack. If you want to use it as the first autoloader, pass true
when calling the register() method. Your class loader will then
be prepended on the autoload stack.
Usage
Using it is as easy as passing your mapping to its constructor when creating
an instance of the MapClassLoader class:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
require_once '/path/to/src/Symfony/Component/ClassLoader/MapClassLoader.php';
$mapping = [
'Foo' => '/path/to/Foo',
'Bar' => '/path/to/Bar',
];
$loader = new MapClassLoader($mapping);
$loader->register();
