Classloader

.. sectionauthor:: Bernhard Posselt <dev@bernhard-posselt.com>
The classloader is provided by ownCloud and loads all your classes automatically. The only thing left to include by yourself are 3rdparty libraries. Those should be loaded in :file:`appinfo/application.php`.
The classloader works like this:
* Take the full qualifier of a class::
\OCA\MyApp\Controller\PageController
* If it starts with \\OCA include file from the apps directory
* Cut off \\OCA::
\MyApp\Controller\PageController
* Convert all charactes to lowercase::
\myapp\controller\pagecontroller
* Replace \\ with /::
/myapp/controller/pagecontroller
* Append .php::
/myapp/controller/pagecontroller.php
* Prepend /apps because of the **OCA** namespace and include the file::
require_once '/apps/myapp/controller/pagecontroller.php';
**In other words**: In order for the PageController class to be autoloaded, the class **\\OCA\\MyApp\\Controller\\PageController** needs to be stored in the :file:`/apps/myapp/controller/pagecontroller.php`
