PHP Luminova: Autoloading Dependency and Composer

Autoloading in Luminova simplifies the process of pre-loading the framework setup and registering dependencies, including Composer libraries, to make them readily available. This ensures that global functions, constants, and third-party libraries are accessible throughout your application.

Instead of manually loading the Composer autoloader (/system/plugins/autoload.php), you can load Luminova's autoloader (/system/Boot.php). This will automatically handle basic initialization and error handling setup.

Usage Examples

HTTP Example

To initialize the HTTP environment and get an instance of the application class:

<?php
use Luminova\Boot;

require_once __DIR__ . '/system/Boot.php';
$app = Boot::http();

To initialize the HTTP environment without needing the application class instance:

<?php
use Luminova\Boot;

require_once __DIR__ . '/system/Boot.php';
Boot::init();

CLI Example

For command-line interface (CLI) initialization:

<?php
use Luminova\Boot;

require_once __DIR__ . '/system/Boot.php';
Boot::cli();

Class Definition

• Namespace: \Luminova\Boot
• Type: Final class, cannot be extended.

Methods

http

Initializes the HTTP environment for a web application, sets up error handling, completes bootstrapping, and returns the application instance.

public static http(): App\Application

Returns

\App\Application - Return the application instance.

init

Initializes the HTTP environment, sets up error handling, and completes the bootstrapping process.

public static init(): void

cli

Initializes the CLI environment, defines CLI-related constants, and completes bootstrapping.

public static cli(): void

warmup

Performs the initial setup for the application autoload, by loading the necessary files, setting time zones, adjusting execution limits, and configuring script behavior.

public static warmup(): void

Note: The warmup method is automatically called when the Boot class is loaded. You do not need to call this method manually, and doing so again will result in an error.
