danog/class-finder
Fast PHP class discovery utility. Scan directories/files and find classes, interfaces, and traits without manually maintaining lists. Useful for autoload-based plugins, reflection tooling, and package indexing, with a simple API and minimal setup.
A dead simple utility to identify classes, traits, functions and interfaces in a given namespace.
This package is an improved implementation of an answer on Stack Overflow and provides additional features with less configuration required.
Installing is done by requiring it with Composer.

Additional features:
Various ideas:
(included v0.3-beta)ClassFinder::getClassesInNamespace('TestApp1\Foo', ClassFinder::RECURSIVE_MODE).
Providing classes multiple namespaces deep.
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.
