Using composer and namespace in prestashop 1.6

[ColonelMoutarde]

Hello,
I would use to compser with prestashop 1.6.
Install composer is not difficult, but where to add the call to autoload benefit namespace ?

require_once "vendor/autoload.php";

How do you do?

There are a number of ways you could do that. One that I think makes a lot of sense is to require Composer’s autoload file from the primary PrestaShop Controller abstract class, which is inherited by all other controllers.
 
Here’s how to do so:

• Create a file named Controller.php  in  override/classes/controller/
• Paste this code into that file:

<?php
/*
 * Override the main Controller abstract class to require Composer's autoload file
 * Makes Composer packages available to your entire PrestaShop install
 */
abstract class Controller extends ControllerCore
{
	public function __construct()
	{
		// Load Composer vendor packages
		require _PS_ROOT_DIR_ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

		parent::__construct();
	}
}

Note: after saving the override, make sure to delete the class cache file, located at cache/class_index.php .
