# Jul 23rd 2018, 22:19 saeideng after `composer dump-autoload `
# Jul 23rd 2018, 22:18 saeideng it should work
# Jul 23rd 2018, 22:17 mdotobie Yes
# Jul 23rd 2018, 22:17 saeideng and in this folder `plugins/cakephp-datadog/src/App/Services/DataDogService.php`
# Jul 23rd 2018, 22:16 saeideng `namespace CakePHP_DataDog\App\Services\DataDogService`
# Jul 23rd 2018, 22:16 saeideng your name space in plugin is
# Jul 23rd 2018, 22:14 mdotobie If do a use statement ‘CakePHP_DataDog\App\Services\DataDogService’ I get a class not found
# Jul 23rd 2018, 22:13 mdotobie So for instance, I have a class called DataDogService within the plugin under the namespace /App/Services
# Jul 23rd 2018, 22:13 saeideng https://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/plugins.html#manually-autoloading-plugin-classes
# Jul 23rd 2018, 22:12 mdotobie Because it’s not identifying the namespacing within the plugin
# Jul 23rd 2018, 22:12 mdotobie That’s the part not working
# Jul 23rd 2018, 22:12 saeideng you no need to `Plugin.php` in this plugin
# Jul 23rd 2018, 22:12 mdotobie Okay I see what you mean now
# Jul 23rd 2018, 22:11 mdotobie So I have to call the classes inside the plugin from the Plugin.php
# Jul 23rd 2018, 22:10 mdotobie Plus it was a good way to dive into developing plugins
# Jul 23rd 2018, 22:10 mdotobie I envision the functionality might be helpful for future projects
# Jul 23rd 2018, 22:09 saeideng of course Plugins is good place for your codes
# Jul 23rd 2018, 22:09 saeideng without any problem and needing to composer
# Jul 23rd 2018, 22:08 saeideng you can work in folder under `src`
# Jul 23rd 2018, 22:08 saeideng and why in Plugins folder ?
# Jul 23rd 2018, 22:07 saeideng just make sure your plugin files loaded successfully by composer , not `$this->addPlugin...`
# Jul 23rd 2018, 22:06 saeideng `new yourclass()`
# Jul 23rd 2018, 22:06 saeideng `use CakePHP_DataDog\yourclass`
# Jul 23rd 2018, 22:05 saeideng for class
# Jul 23rd 2018, 22:05 saeideng and for model/ behavior/ .....
# Jul 23rd 2018, 22:04 saeideng for controller you must extent main/your controller from plugin controller
# Jul 23rd 2018, 22:03 mdotobie lets say I have a class, not a model or controller or anything like that, just a class inside the plugin that I want to instantiate
# Jul 23rd 2018, 22:03 mdotobie But, I can’t figure out how to access plugin resources inside say a main application controller
# Jul 23rd 2018, 22:02 mdotobie and I can confirm thats working
# Jul 23rd 2018, 22:02 saeideng just `$this->addPlugin('cakephp-datadog');`
# Jul 23rd 2018, 22:02 mdotobie so yes I know I can get rid of that
# Jul 23rd 2018, 22:02 mdotobie that’s how I was originally loading the plugin
# Jul 23rd 2018, 22:02 saeideng you nno need to this class
# Jul 23rd 2018, 22:02 saeideng https://github.com/cakephp/debug_kit/blob/master/src/Plugin.php
# Jul 23rd 2018, 22:01 saeideng so why are u using `use CakePHP_DataDog\Plugin as DataDog;` ??
# Jul 23rd 2018, 22:00 mdotobie no I don’t have a class called plugin
# Jul 23rd 2018, 22:00 mdotobie I was under the impression that I could use Plugin syntax to reference plugin resources
# Jul 23rd 2018, 21:59 mdotobie now lets say I have a method in the `Plugin.php` file called `info()`. I can only get it to run by declaring a use statement again and then created a new instance
# Jul 23rd 2018, 21:59 saeideng do you have `Plugin` class ?
# Jul 23rd 2018, 21:58 saeideng $this->addPlugin('cakephp-datadog');
# Jul 23rd 2018, 21:58 saeideng short form
