FrostMVC PHP Framework
Loader
FrostMVC\Loader
use FrostMVC\Loader;
Autoloading helper for controllers, models, libraries, and helpers.
Wraps the FrostMVC class-loading conventions so that controllers can load dependencies via $this->require->model(), ->library(), or ->helper().
Methods
| ->helper() | Includes a helper file from libraries/helpers/. |
| ->library() | Loads a library class from libraries/. When $attachTo is provided, instantiates the class and assigns it as a property on $attachTo. |
| ->load() | Resolves and loads one or more class files from the given path. If $attachTo is set, instantiates each loaded class and assigns it as a property on $attachTo using the unqualified class name. |
| ->model() | Loads a model class from app/models/. When $attachTo is provided, instantiates the class and assigns it as a property on $attachTo. |
