I have a class, and I want to be able to use it on the CMS, not depending on any module, for example because I want to keep it updated by git and use it not only in Drupal projects:
<?php
namespace MyPackage;
class MyClass {
public static function myFunction($message) {
file_put_contents('./file.log', $message, FILE_APPEND);
}
}
The class lives inside the libraries/ folder of the drupal website, its path being: /libraries/MyPackage/MyClass.php Then I try to use it somewhere, e.g.,
\MyPackage\MyClass::myFunction("hey from myfunction!");
But the class is not reachable:
Error: Class 'MyPackage\MyClass' not found in ...
Also tried the other package path convention, placing the class in
/libraries/mypackage/src/MyPackage/MyClass.php
with no luck.
Where should I put my PHP class? Something wrong with the path? Something wrong with the naming convention? I almost tried everything, except the correct way of course.
You should try it with
use MyPackage\MyClass\MyClass::myFunction("Hey from my function");
MyPackage\MyClass is your namespace and MyPackage\MyClass\MyClass is your full class reference.
Seems like the only way to do this on Drupal 8 is through the composer dependency manager, which consists of the following steps:
