Composer autoload not working for classes in theme folder

bedrock

Hello guys,

I am on bedrock, I tried to implement the ps4 namespacing for autoloading classes in a theme subfolder, like my-theme/includes with all my classes inside. I placed the ps4 directions in the main composer.json under src/. I also tried to create a theme specific composer, without success.

What am I ignoring?

Thanks in advance.

Can you show us your actual code please?

Which one? In composer.json?

composer.json, file paths, the namespacing in the classes you’re trying to load, etc

So here it is src/composer.json:

    ]
  },
"autoload": {
    "psr-4": {
      "App\\mytheme\\includes\\": "app/themes/mytheme/includes",
      "App\\mytheme\\includes\\utils\\": "app/themes/mytheme/includes/utils",
      "App\\mytheme\\includes\\types\\": "app/themes/mytheme/includes/types",
      "App\\mytheme\\includes\\controllers\\": "app/themes/mytheme/includes/controllers"
    }
  }
}

I think the first should be enough, but I tried also sub folders.
In each of my classes the namespace looks like this:

namespace App\mytheme\includes\utils;

// example for src/app/themes/mytheme/includes/utils/Array_Utils.php
class Array_Utils
{...}

"autoload": {
    "psr-4": {
      "App\\mytheme\\includes\\": "app/themes/mytheme/includes",
      "App\\mytheme\\includes\\utils\\": "app/themes/mytheme/includes/utils",
      "App\\mytheme\\includes\\types\\": "app/themes/mytheme/includes/types",
      "App\\mytheme\\includes\\controllers\\": "app/themes/mytheme/includes/controllers"
    }
  }

These paths are incorrect. Look at the other paths defined here, i.e.:

    "installer-paths": {
      "web/app/mu-plugins/{$name}/": ["type:wordpress-muplugin"],

You’ve also made it more complex than necessary. The following should work:

"autoload": {
    "psr-4": {
      "App\\mytheme\\includes\\": "web/app/themes/mytheme/includes"
    }
  }

Also keep in mind that composer needs to generate autoload maps in order for changes to autoloading to work, so always run composer dump-autoload after you make changes to autoloading.

Finally, why are you loading theme files at the bedrock level? A Sage theme can autoload files with its own composer.json. If you want whatever is in these files at a higher level than the theme, then that feels like it should be a plugin or composer package, not some weird deep dependency on a theme.

Aaaaa ah! Great help! Jeez it’s time for the weekend, for me…

About the rest, I didn’t consider to move to Sage yet since it’s just an old react app which I want to serve with WP APIs, quick and dirty. But you are right, I’ll implement the composer at theme level.

Thank you for now.
