CollectionLoader

Merges classes and interfaces declaration into one huge file. Compatible with PSR-0

For licence details see Licence.md

Usage

$CollectionLoader = new \lib\loader\CollectionLoader('path_to_merged_cache.php');
$CollectionLoader->addPath('./directory/to/read/from/');
$CollectionLoader->handler();

In constructor, first argument is path to cache file, where merged classes will be written. Second argument forces rebuild of cache file (default: false). Third decides if comments should be stripped from class definitions (default: true)

CollectionLoader::addPath() method, adds directory to loader from witch class/interface definitions will be read.

CollectionLoader::handler() handles reading cache file, if cache file does not exists - will be build.

Notice

In some cases, especialy when complex dependencies occour, due PHP error CollectionLoader should be supported by oridinary autoloading class. Eg.

namespace bar {
    class Bar extends \foo\Foo {}
}

namespace foo {
   class Foo implements \yada\Yada {}
}

namespace yada {
   interface Yada {}
}

This construction will throw error - PHP can not find \foo\Foo class. There are only two solutions - remove \yada\Yada dependency or use external autoloader.
