zoopcommerce/slipstream

An alternative to the standard composer autoloader

Slipstream

Introduction

The composer autoloader is quite good, and quite fast when used with composer.phar dump-autoload --optimize. However, the --optimize option maps every single class in your dependency tree. If you are a using a framework such as zf2 or symfony, that can mean 3000+ of classes. Chances are that your app is only using a small fraction of those. Slipstream will rewrite the classmap in production to include only the classes you need, meaning faster page load times., _(*1)

Installation

Install the module using Composer into your application's vendor directory. Add the following line to your composer.json., _(*2)

{
    "require": {
        "zoopcommerce/slipstream": "~0.1"
    }
}

Usage

Your vendor/composer/ directory must be writable., _(*3)

Where your code previously called the composer autoloader with:, _(*4)

$loader = include vendor/autoload.php;

Replace with:, _(*5)

$loader = include vendor/zoopcommerce/slipstream/autoload.php;

That's it!, _(*6)

Enjoy., _(*7)
