Autoload WordPress files configured via Composer that support the Wordpress Coding Standards using alleyinteractive/wordpress-autoloader. Will load the autoloaded classes defined in your package and all autoloaded classes in your dependencies.

You can install the package via composer:

composer require alleyinteractive/composer-wordpress-autoloader

{
  "autoload": {
    "wordpress": {
      "My_Plugin_Namespace\\": "src/",
    }
  },
  "autoload-dev": {
    "wordpress": {
      "My_Plugin_Namespace\\Tests\\": "tests/",
    }
  }
}

Once added a vendor/wordpress-autoload.php file will be created. You can load that in place of vendor/autoload.php (it will load that for you) to load you WordPress and Composer dependencies.

Packages published to Packagist are required to be valid and have a composer.json that passed a composer validate. Composer does not consider wordpress to be a valid value inside of the autoload or autoload-dev property. To allow packages to register autoloading in a valid format, you can use the following format:

{
  "extra": {
    "wordpress-autoloader": {
      "autoload": {
        "My_Plugin_Namespace\\": "src/",
      },
      "autoload-dev": {
        "My_Plugin_Namespace\\Tests\\": "tests/",
      }
    }
  }
}

Composer WordPress Autoloader can also automatically inject the WordPress autoloader into your vendor/autoload.php file you're already loading. This is disabled by default.

{
  "extra": {
    "wordpress-autoloader": {
      "inject": true
    }
  }
}

Once enabled, you can load vendor/autoload.php like you do normally and have your WordPress files automatically loaded.
