Finding file when "use" is used

[NotionCommotion]

I was reviewing the following lines of code.

<?php
namespace Concrete\Block\Html;

use Loader;
use \Concrete\Core\Block\BlockController;

class Controller extends BlockController
{

Turns out BlockController.php is located at /var/www/concrete5.7.5.9/concrete/src/Block/BlockController.php.

 

Other than a brute search for "class BlockController", how should I find the file?

You'd look at your autoloader settings to see what directory the namespace maps too then follow that.

 

If you're using composer and the file is part of a library then search the vendor/composer/autoload_* files.

 

If you're using some other setup you'll have to determine how it handles autoloading and figure out the path from it.

If Concrete\Core\Block\BlockController is located in /var/www/concrete5.7.5.9/concrete/src/Block/BlockController.php then it's a good bet that any Concrete\Core\* class is located in /var/www/concrete5.7.5.9/concrete/src/*.
