use alias for namespace and class once for all in php

in this short article i introduce a better way for using namespaced classes .

if you are sick using

use Vendor\Something\OtherThing\MyClass as MyClass

then this article is the answer to your problem .

first of all I use composer for my dependency management .

what i`ve done were creating a file named Alias.php . and inside of it

i created an array of aliases and classes with namespaces

$aliases = array(

“Blade” => “Philo\Blade\Blade”

“Form” => ”Form\Form”

…

and at the bottom of the Alias.php file i did a foreach upon $aliases like below

foreach( $aliases as $alias => $full )

{

class_alias ( $full , $alias , true );

}

okay . we are done with the Alias.php file .

now we have to execute this file whenever a request comes in .

open your composer.json file and add some rules

inside of autoload section

add

“files”:[“config/Alias.php”]

and your are set to go
