Generate php file under PSR-0 Namespace Autoloading convention
lulyon opened this issue · comments
Currently protocol file generates a single php file no matter how many messages there are.
Therefore the generated php file is not under PSR-0 Namespace Autoloading, which is a great feature after php 5.3 for conveniently manage php classes.
It would be very programmer-friendly if the generate php files are:
- under the same folder
- filename is consistent with class name
- correspondent (semantically) to a single message of each protocol file.
You can pass two command line options to protoc-php compiler: -n --psr in order to have what you want. I'm working currently on plugin for a protoc compiler which will solve parsing issues which are ones most often reported. Along with this change I would like to make PSR-0 the only way to generate PHP classes.
@hjagodzinski great ! looking forward to that !
