ClassFinder
===========

A dead simple utility to identify classes in a given namespace.

This package is an improved implementation of an [answer on Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/a/40229665/3000068)
and provides additional features with less configuration required.

Examples
--------

**Standard Mode**

```
<?php

require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

$classes = ClassFinder::getClassesInNamespace('TestApp1\Foo');

/**
 * array(
 *   'TestApp1\Foo\Bar',
 *   'TestApp1\Foo\Baz',
 *   'TestApp1\Foo\Foo'
 * )
 */
var_dump($classes);
```

**Recursive Mode** *(in v0.3-beta)*

```
<?php

require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

$classes = ClassFinder::getClassesInNamespace('TestApp1\Foo', ClassFinder::RECURSIVE_MODE);

/**
 * array(
 *   'TestApp1\Foo\Bar',
 *   'TestApp1\Foo\Baz',
 *   'TestApp1\Foo\Foo',
 *   'TestApp1\Foo\Box\Bar',
 *   'TestApp1\Foo\Box\Baz',
 *   'TestApp1\Foo\Box\Foo',
 *   'TestApp1\Foo\Box\Lon\Bar',
 *   'TestApp1\Foo\Box\Lon\Baz',
 *   'TestApp1\Foo\Box\Lon\Foo',
 * )

Future Work

> **WARNING**: Before 1.0.0, expect that bug fixes _will not_ be backported to older versions. Backwards incompatible changes
may be introduced in minor 0.X.Y versions, where X changes.

* `psr0` support

* Additional features: 

Various ideas:

* ~~`ClassFinder::getClassesInNamespace('TestApp1\Foo', ClassFinder::RECURSIVE_MODE)`. 
Providing classes multiple namespaces deep.~~ (included v0.3-beta)

* `ClassFinder::getClassesImplementingInterface('TestApp1\Foo', 'TestApp1\FooInterface', ClassFinder::RECURSIVE_MODE)`.
Filtering classes to only classes that implement a namespace.

* `ClassFinder::debugRenderReport('TestApp1\Foo\Baz')` 
Guidance for solving "class not found" errors resulting from typos in namespaces, missing directories, etc. Would print
an HTML report. Not intended for production use, but debugging.
