Classes folder

Pair framework: classes/ folder

In Pair projects, classes/ is used for application-level custom classes shared across modules.

Typical locations:

• APPLICATION_PATH/classes/
• APPLICATION_PATH/modules/*/classes/

Autoloading (current approach)

Class loading is handled by Composer autoload (classmap/PSR-4), not by manual preload files.

In the current boilerplate, composer.json includes:

• classes/
• modules/*/classes/

So classes placed there are discovered through Composer autoload.

Naming and organization

• Use one class per file.
• Keep file name aligned with class name (for example Assets.php -> Assets).
• Use PascalCase for class names.
• Put module-specific classes in that module's classes/ folder.
• Put cross-module/shared classes in root classes/.

Legacy note

Older projects may reference classes/classLoader.php, but this is not part of the current recommended setup.
