hello everybody, I'd like to ask a thing about CakePHP 4.0. We need to upgrade our web portal. Currently we have cakephp 2.10. But could we just start to user cakephp 4.0 already? We understand that it is on heavy development right now. |

Got it working @saeideng |
| # |
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, 22:12 |
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 |

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 |
