Because of namespaced autoloading in Composer, this class will be available as `\RedbeanPHP\R` instead of `R`. If you desire to use the much shorter `R` alias, you can add a `use` statement at the beginning of your code: ``` use \RedBeanPHP\R as R; ``` **NOTE:**It is important to note that when using RedBeanPHP with Composer, there are some extra precautions needed when working with [Models](https://redbeanphp.com/index.php?p=/models). Due to the namespace requirements of Composer, when creating Models we need to use the `SimpleModel` to extend, not `RedBean_SimpleModel`. Furthermore, we need to specify the namespace of the `SimpleModel`, so a full example of using a Model with RedBean with Composer is as follows: ``` use \RedBeanPHP\R; class Model_User extends \RedBeanPHP\SimpleModel { ... } ``` Notice that we also need to add the `use \RedBeanPHP\R` statement so that we can use the `R::` shortcut within the Model. Quick Example ------------- [](#quick-example) How we store a book object with RedBeanPHP: ``` $book = R::dispense("book"); $book->author = "Santa Claus"; $book->title = "Secrets of Christmas"; $id = R::store( $book ); ``` Yep, it's that simple.
