Class Alias Loader Laravel Package

Product Decisions This Supports

• Supports major TYPO3 version upgrades by centralizing legacy class mappings, reducing refactoring risks and manual intervention.
• Validates "buy" decision for alias management over custom solutions due to its lightweight design and Composer compatibility.
• Use cases include maintaining backward compatibility across extensions during refactors and deprecating classes without breaking existing integrations.

When to Consider This Package

• When managing TYPO3 projects with legacy code requiring backward compatibility during upgrades or extensions.
• When needing a centralized, early-bootstrapped alias system that integrates with Composer autoloading.
• Avoid for non-TYPO3 projects, greenfield applications without deprecated classes, or when existing alias solutions are already sufficient.
