System autoloader

System manages autoloading classes of system and components (also system traits).

Autoloader look for classes/traits within namespace cs in next directories:

• core/classes
• core/drivers
• core/traits

Subnamespaces are converted into subdirectories, for instance cs\Cache\FileSystem class is located in core/drivers/Cache/FileSystem.php

Also autoloader looks for classes inside

• core/classes/thirdparty

for some thirdparty components.

Classes in namespaces cs\modules are used by modules:

• cs\modules\Blogs\Posts > modules/Blogs/Posts.php
• cs\modules\Comments\Comments > modules/Comments/Comments.php

Composer

User's composer.json can be in root directory. By default this file is absent, but you can create such file, and after running composer.phar install composer's autoloader will be used automatically. Custom composer.json can be used to create custom builds, because this file (if exists) will be included in distributive automatically.
