I got 30 odd classes and code written in L4.2. Using eloquent extensively i have always used XyzModel::where('xyz','=',2)->get() queries a lot.
So now i had to add use App\Http\Model\XyzModel on top of all 30 files.
Instead i added the alias to the App.php file
My question is
- Is there any performance impact by having 30 Extra aliases in the app.php file
- When i use XyzModel::where('xyz','=',2)->get() i still get error, and if i use \XyzModel::where('xyz','=',2)->get() the error goes away. (In XyzController, the above Eloquent works in views without the \ ) Is there any way i can change the alias in app.js so as to i dont have to add an extra \ in front of the class.
My current alias looks like this 'UserGroup' => App\Http\Models\UserGroup::class,
The alias sometimes works, sometimes doesnt (using \ in front it starts working). why is this happening?
I'm also upgrading to L5 from 4.2 and have 30+ classes. I'm creating a command that talks to all of them, so I'm forced to have 37 use \App\Models\[name].php statements at the top of my Command class. Gross!
Obviously I understand the value in proper Namespacing, but this is serious code bloat for me. In 4.2, I could access all my models with use App\Models;. Now, unless I'm mistaken, I can't do that?
Most of my use cases won't require that many, but even 10-15 isn't great. I assume the caveat of the old 4.2 method is that everything is imported into a single namespace, which is good for having less code, but bad for performance / considered quite dirty.
