WP Plugin Autoload

README.md

Autoloading for plugins

Say your plugin classes are following this naming convention My_Plugin_Thing and you name your files by the last "thing" e.g. thing.php inside the lib folder.

This snippet autoloads all classes within a the namespace. Handy!

Also, documentation poor. I'm tired!

plugin-autoload.php

<?php 


define( 'PLUGIN_DIR', plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ ) );
define( 'GITHUB_EXPLORER_URL', plugin_dir_url( __FILE__ ) );

function my_plugin_autoload($className) {
	$segments = explode( '_', $className );
	$name = strtolower( end( $segments ) );
	$filename = PLUGIN_DIR . "lib/" . $name. ".php";
	if (is_readable($filename)) {
		require $filename;
	}
}

spl_autoload_register('my_plugin_autoload');
