Symfony2 - Composer class loader instance in controller

Question

Is there a way to get the composer autoloader instance inside a Symfony2 Controller?

Answer 1

Yes - there is a way.

And assuming that you want to know how to actually get the loader then you can do this in your controller:

class MyController
    function myAction()
    {
        die(get_class($GLOBALS['loader'])); // Composer\Autoload\ClassLoader

Should you do this? Probably not. In most cases you can tweak the loader in the app/autoload.php file.
