Hi everybody!
tl;dr: ZF2: do you use composer or Zend\Loader? Simply reply with "loader"
or "composer" :)
I've been discussing on IRC about dropping the pre-configured Zend\Loader
instance in standard MVC applications (we're discussing that for ZF3).
Since I was asserting that most users do use composer for autoloading their
stuff, I got told to get proof of that - so please just drop me a line :)
The main idea is to move away from configuring autoloading per-library and
instead use composer to autoload everything. Here's how the config of a
composer.json file would look:
{
"autoload": {
"psr-0": {
"MyLib": "path/to/my-lib"
}
}
}
Here's how it would look with Zend\Loader:
include $zf2Path . '/Zend/Loader/AutoloaderFactory.php';
Zend\Loader\AutoloaderFactory::factory(array(
'Zend\Loader\StandardAutoloader' => array(
'autoregister_zf' => true,
'namespaces' => array(
'MyLib' => "path/to/my-lib",
),
)
));
The main difference here is that composer requires us to run `composer
dump-autoload` before being able to use `MyLib`
The idea is NOT about dropping Zend\Loader, but just removing the
initialization logic from the skeleton application.
If you also have thoughts except for your preference, please share!
