1.2.289. Could Use Alias¶
This long name may be reduced by using an available alias.
This applies to classes (as full name or prefix), and to constants and functions.
<?php
use a\b\c;
use function a\b\c\foo;
use const a\b\c\D;
// This may be reduced with the above alias to c\d()
new a\b\c\d();
// This may be reduced to c\d\e\f
new a\b\c\d\e\f();
// This may be reduced to c()
new a\b\c();
// This may be reduced to D
echo a\b\c\D;
// This may be reduced to D
a\b\c\foo();
// This can't be reduced : it is an absolute name
\a\b\c\foo();
// This can't be reduced : it is no an alias nor a prefix
a\b\d\foo();
?>

1.2.289.1. Suggestions¶
Use all your aliases so as to make the code shorter and more readable
Add new aliases for missing path
Make class names absolute and drop the aliases
