The PluginClassLocator interface

The PluginClassLocator interface describes a component capable of maintaining an internal map of plugin names to actual class names. Classes implementing this interface can register and unregister plugin/class associations, and return the entire map.

Quick Start

Classes implementing the PluginClassLocator must implement the following three methods:

namespace Zend\Loader;

interface PluginClassLocator
{
    public function registerPlugin($shortName, $className);
    public function unregisterPlugin($shortName);
    public function getRegisteredPlugins();
}

Configuration Options

This component defines no configuration options, as it is an interface.

Available Methods

registerPlugin

registerPlugin(string $shortName, string $className) : void

Implement this method to add or overwrite plugin name/class name associations in the internal plugin map. $shortName will be aliased to $className.

unregisterPlugin

unregisterPlugin(string $shortName) : void

Implement this to allow removing an existing plugin mapping corresponding to $shortName.

getRegisteredPlugins

getRegisteredPlugins() : array

Implement this to allow returning the plugin name/class name map.
