Symfony2: autoload/register namespaces from within a Bundle

Question

I am working on a bundle in which I use the Doctrine CouchDB ODM. How does one autoload and register the namespaces from within a bundle? Here are the relevant working lines from app/autoload.php that I need to move:

use Symfony\Component\ClassLoader\UniversalClassLoader;

$loader->registerNamespaces(array(
    // ...
    'Doctrine\\CouchDB' => __DIR__.'/../vendor/doctrine-odm/lib',
    'Doctrine\\ODM\\CouchDB' => __DIR__.'/../vendor/doctrine-odm/lib',
));

Thank you!

You usually don't have to do it. Just put the declarations in your app/autoload.php and, if the bundle will be available to the public, add the info to your README. — Alessandro Desantis

The idea was to eliminate the need for folks implementing this bundle to add stuff to their app. @alessandro1997 implies that adding to app/autoload.php is the only way it's done, which would explain why I haven't found any instructions! — yitznewton

An interesting question, but I'd argue that it's better to keep namespace declarations in autoload.php to avoid possible duplicates if they were defined within the bundles directly. An unlikely scenario, but still possible, and would be annoying to debug :) — Steven Mercatante

Composer is the tool that was developed to deal with this: knplabs.com/blog/symfony2-with-composer — yitznewton

Heh, this is a bit obsolete, as Composer has become the PHP community standard for dependency management, supplanting PEAR getcomposer.org
