Unified Namespace Classes¶

The Unified Namespace (OxidEsales\Eshop) provides an edition independent namespace for module and core developers. So disregarding if the shop edition is CE/PE/EE, the Unified Namespace class name is to be used in code (core and modules).

Generation of unified namespace classes¶

The component unified-namespace-generator generates the unified namespace classes on the fly, e.g. when you install or update the OXID eShop.

Inheritance chain of unified namespace classes¶

Example OXID eShop Professional Edition¶

$@startuml OxidEsales\EshopCommunity\Application\Model\Article <|-- OxidEsales\EshopProfessional\Application\Model\Article OxidEsales\EshopProfessional\Application\Model\Article <|-- OxidEsales\Eshop\Application\Model\Article OxidEsales\Eshop\Application\Model\Article - oxarticle : class_alias @enduml$

Example OXID eShop Enterprise Edition¶

$@startuml OxidEsales\EshopCommunity\Application\Model\Article <|-- OxidEsales\EshopProfessional\Application\Model\Article OxidEsales\EshopProfessional\Application\Model\Article <|-- OxidEsales\EshopEnterprise\Application\Model\Article OxidEsales\EshopEnterprise\Application\Model\Article <|-- OxidEsales\Eshop\Application\Model\Article OxidEsales\Eshop\Application\Model\Article - oxarticle : class_alias @enduml$

Example OXID eShop Enterprise Edition with 2 modules activated¶

$@startuml OxidEsales\EshopCommunity\Application\Model\Article <|-- OxidEsales\EshopProfessional\Application\Model\Article OxidEsales\EshopProfessional\Application\Model\Article <|-- OxidEsales\EshopEnterprise\Application\Model\Article OxidEsales\EshopEnterprise\Application\Model\Article <|-- OxidEsales\Eshop\Application\Model\Article OxidEsales\Eshop\Application\Model\Article <|-- Vendor1\Module1\Application\Model\Article Vendor1\Module1\Application\Model\Article <|-- Vendor1\Module2\Application\Model\Article OxidEsales\Eshop\Application\Model\Article - oxarticle : class_alias @enduml$

Warning

Do NOT use the PHP method get_class as its return value is dependent on the modules which are currently activated in the shop:

// returns Vendor1\Module2\Application\Model\Article in this example
get_class(oxNew(OxidEsales\Eshop\Application\Model\Article::class));
