Aura.Autoload
=============

[](#auraautoload)

Provides a full PSR-4 and limited PSR-0 autoloader. Although it is installable via Composer, its best use is probably outside a Composer-oriented project.

For a full PSR-0 only autoloader, please see [Aura.Autoload v1](https://github.com/auraphp/Aura.Autoload/tree/develop).

Foreword
--------

[](#foreword)

### Installation

[](#installation)

This library requires PHP 5.3 or later; we recommend using the latest available version of PHP as a matter of principle. It has no userland dependencies.

It is installable and autoloadable via Composer as [aura/autoload](https://packagist.org/packages/aura/autoload).

Alternatively, [download a release](https://github.com/auraphp/Aura.Autoload/releases) or clone this repository, then require or include its *autoload.php* file.

To run the unit tests at the command line, issue `phpunit` at the package root. (This requires [PHPUnit](http://phpunit.de/manual/) to be available as `phpunit`.)

This library attempts to comply with [PSR-1](https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-1-basic-coding-standard.md), [PSR-2](https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-2-coding-style-guide.md), and [PSR-4](https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-4-autoloader.md). If you notice compliance oversights, please send a patch via pull request.

### PSR-4 Namespace Prefixes

[](#psr-4-namespace-prefixes)

To add a namespace conforming to [PSR-4](https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-4-autoloader.md) specifications, point to the base directory for that namespace. Multiple base directories are allowed, and will be searched in the order they are added.
