Map types from composer vendor namespace

[ilmDitsch]

Hello,

I have been using the library for some time now and would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the great work.

Since a short time we use a private composer repository to manage our models. They are provided with PHP attributes there. When I include this library in our API project as a dependency, some types can no longer be mapped.

We're using a pretty normal setup with SchemaFactory:

$factory = new SchemaFactory($cache, $container);
$factory->addTypeNamespace('Namespace\\From\\ComposerLib\\In\\VendorDir');
return $factory->createSchema();

As far as I understand it, it could be due to GlobTypeMapper not taking into account namespaces in the vendor directory. Is it possible to configure GraphQLite for this scenario?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Hey @ilmDitsch. I'm not aware of any limitations here. You need to be sure that lib is autoloaded properly with composer. Also, I don't believe the double \\ is necessary here. Lastly, I'm going to assume you're using the proper namespace that can successfully be referenced in other autoloaded files.

The lib is autoloaded and available within the project. We're using other classes from it within the code. I tried all variants in the addTypeNamespace method, with and without escaped \...

As mentioned, the doc block of GlobTypeMapper states, that the vendor folder is not scanned:

graphqlite/src/Mappers/GlobTypeMapper.php

Line 20 in 3041608

* Scans all the classes in a given namespace of the main project (not the vendor directory).

As far as I understood the implementation of the SchemaFactory, this type mapper is used to extract annotations (also PHP attributes?) from a namespace.

@ilmDitsch well, I guess that's pretty clear :) I can only assume this is being done for performance reasons. Being that namespaces are explicitly defined, I don't see any reason not to support the vendor directory as well, if you'd like to submit a PR on this.
