wireClassName() function

Normalize a class name with or without namespace, or get namespace of class

Default behavior is to return class name without namespace.

Usage

// basic usage
$string = wireClassName($className);

// usage with all arguments
$string = wireClassName($className, $withNamespace = false, bool $verbose = false);

Arguments

Name Type(s) Description

Name	Type(s)	Description
`className`	string, object	Class name or object instance
`withNamespace` (optional)	bool, int, string	Should return value include namespace? (default=false) `false` (bool): Return only class name without namespace (default). `true` (bool): Yes include namespace in returned value. `1` (int): Return only namespace (i.e. “ProcessWire”, with no backslashes unless $verbose argument is true)
`verbose` (optional)	bool	When namespace argument is true or 1, use verbose return value (added 3.0.143). This does the following: If returning class name with namespace, this makes it include a leading backslash, i.e. `\ProcessWire\Wire` If returning namespace only, adds leading backslash, plus trailing backslash if namespace is not root, i.e. `\ProcessWire\`
