This array maps class and interface names to PHP filenames.MediaWiki core'sAutoLoader uses it to load those files.
| MediaWiki version: | ≥ 1.25 |
Extensions (and skins) specify this class mapping in theAutoloadClasses key ofextension.json (orskin.json), for example from theBoilerPlate extension'sextension.json:
{..."AutoloadClasses":{"BoilerPlateHooks":"BoilerPlate.hooks.php","SpecialHelloWorld":"specials/SpecialHelloWorld.php"},...}
Assume the extensionNewExtension's files are in the directoryextensions/NewExtension.
IfNewExtension implements a class calledNewClass in the fileNewClass.php, then in its initialization fileNewExtension/NewExtension.php it should add to$wgAutoloadClasses as follows:
$wgAutoloadClasses['NewClass']=__DIR__.'/NewClass.php';
