How do i use namespaces in phalcon framework? - php

Question

So everything works fine if i use $loader->registerDirs() function, but if i use registerNamespaces function i get dispatcher error, that says: "IndexController handler class cannot be loaded". here is code for index.php file
<?php
use Phalcon\Di\FactoryDefault;
use Phalcon\Loader;
use Phalcon\Mvc\View;
use Phalcon\Mvc\Application;
use Phalcon\Url;
use Phalcon\Db\Adapter\Pdo\Mysql;
// Define some absolute path constants to aid in locating resources
define('BASE_PATH', dirname(__DIR__));
define('APP_PATH', BASE_PATH . '/app');
// Register an autoloader
$loader = new Loader();
//$loader->registerDirs(
// [
// APP_PATH . '/controllers/',
// APP_PATH . '/models/',
// APP_PATH . '/modules/'
// ]
//);
$loader->registerNamespaces(
[
'App\Controllers' => APP_PATH . '/controllers/'
]
);
$loader->register();
$container = new FactoryDefault();
$container->set(
'view',
function () {
$view = new View();
$view->setViewsDir(APP_PATH . '/views/');
return $view;
}
);
$container->set(
'db',
function () {
return new Mysql(
[
'host' => 'localhost',
'username' => 'sammy',
'password' => 'password',
'dbname' => 'learning',
]
);
}
);
$container->set(
'url',
function () {
$url = new Url();
$url->setBaseUri('/');
return $url;
}
);
$application = new Application($container);
// Handle the request
$response = $application->handle(
$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]
);
$response->send();
That my IndexController.php file.
<?php
declare(strict_types=1);
namespace App\Controllers;
use Phalcon\Http\Request;
use \Phalcon\Mvc\Controller;
use Phalcon\Http\Message\Uri;
class IndexController extends Controller
{
public function indexAction()
{
return 'hi';
}
}
so as you can see the path for registerDirs and registerNamespaces functions are the same, but it doesn't seem to work. Because of it i tried many ways of changing paths but it didn't help.
Here's my directory structure:

in short you need to change the default namespace in Phalcon\Mvc\Router
$router = $container->getRouter();
$router->setDefaultNamespace('App\Controllers');
$router->handle();
