NAMESPACES AND AUTOLOADING Tom McFarlin | https://tommcfarlin.com | @tommcfarlin WordCamp
Atlanta 2017
HEY, WHAT’S UP? • I’m Tom (Nice to meet you)
• Suburbia Atlanta • Pressware • Life Outside WordPress
BUT ENOUGH ABOUT ME Let’s talk about you and code
and your code.
YOUR CODE • Namespaces • Autoloading • …Boring!
BUT ARE THEY REALLY? They sound boring.
THEY AREN’T BORING • Improved Code • Better Organization •
Increased Maintainability • Easier Debugging • More Money! (Maybe.) “Boring conversation anyway.”
WHAT ARE THEY? Oh! Money? (Not so boring anymore!)
WHAT ARE THEY? • Plugin conflicts • Weird warning messages
• Unable to activate a plugin • `class_exists` Namespaces
WHAT ARE THEY? • `include` • `include_once` • `require` •
`require_once` Autoloaders
NAMESPACES
The PHP Manual http://php.net/manual/en/language.namespaces.rationale.php “Namespaces are designed to solve two
problems that authors of libraries and applications encounter when creating re-usable code elements such as classes or functions…”
“A way to group related classes and interfaces having a
similar purpose.” WordCamp Atlanta 2017 A Working Definition
A PRACTICAL EXAMPLE • You’re working with files. • Classes
for reading, • Classes for writing, • You may have interfaces, • And so on.
None
None
NAMESPACE THAT CODE!
None
None
ON FILE ORGANIZATION • It’s not required; it helps. •
Logical Organization • Virtual Organization • Aim For Both. Please.
None
None
LET’S INSTANTIATE THEM! Wait, How?
NOTES ON NAMESPACES • You can’t just use `new.` •
Use the fully-qualified name. (The what?)
None
None
NOTES ON NAMESPACES • Aliasing with `use` • Place under
`namespace` • Now use the alias.
NOW LET’S INSTANTIATE THEM! That’s, How!
None
AUTOLOADING
The PHP Manual http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.autoload.php “The spl_autoload_register() function registers any number
of autoloaders, enabling for classes and interfaces to be automatically loaded if they are currently not defined. By registering autoloaders, PHP is given a last chance to load the class or interface before it fails with an error.”
“A way to automatically load interfaces and classes without using
include and require statements.” WordCamp Atlanta 2017 A Working Definition
A PRACTICAL EXAMPLE • Your files are organized. • You’re
ready to load them. • Let’s do it automatically! • Autoloading, right?
LET’S INSTANTIATE THEM! Wait, How?
WRITING AN AUTOLOADER • It’s not fully automated. • We
have to write it. • But once done, it’s done. • It can be reused!
ON AUTOLOADING • Where are the files? • How are
the files named? • Check if the file exists.
None
None
ON AUTOLOADING • Procedural • Object-oriented • `spl_autoload_register()`
STEPS FOR AN AUTOLOADER 1. Look at the argument 2.
Parse the namespace(s) 3. Is it an interface or a class? 4. Does the file exist? 5. Include the file.
