CakePHP 3.0 Namespace

cake3ns.markdown

CakePHP Core

• Core namespace: Cake
• Namespace will follow the directories, ie. Cake\Cache\Engine\ApcEngine, Cake\Controller\Controller
• View files don't need namespaces
• Basic functions will not be namespaced as well
• Use the class loader defined by the PHP Standard Group, see https://gist.github.com/562509
• Suffixes will not be removed (ie. HtmlHelper will be Cake\View\Helper\HtmlHelper instead of Cake\View\Helper\Html)
• Remove App::uses()
• Remove filemap
• Support full class name in configurations, ie. DebugKit\Controller\Component\ToolbarComponent instead of DebugKit.Toolbar

Plugins

• Plugin must use namespaces
• The default top level namespace will be the same of plugin name, but can be configured a custom namespace using the Plugin::load()

Applications

• Application must use namespaces
• Include in core.php a configuration to indicate the application namespace (empty for global)

Silly me, totally forget we already have classname aliasing.
