NameSpace

[ProdigyView]

Going through the API, quite a few things have to be changed to make the api complaint with namespaced setups.

Right now I would recommended 2 things:

1. Change the filename to the class names.

Field.php should be MongoLanternField.php, that was it can be namespaced such as

namespace mongolantern/fields;

And then later called using 

use mongolantern/fields/MongoLanternFields.

Otherwise the developer has to change a lot of the file names around.

2. Do not use get class() method

if(true === is_object($document) && 'MongoLanternDocument' == get_class($document)) {

This causes the field named to be returned and compared. So its actually comparing  'MongoLanternDocument' == 'name/space/MongoLanternDocument'. To fix this I wrote a method in the MongoLanternUtilitiy class.

/**

* Returns the class name without the namespaced addition. Should be used in environments that

* namespace their classes.

* 

* @param string $class. The string should already be the name of the classed retrieved using get_class($object)

* 

* @return string $class_name Returns the name of the class without a namepsace

* @access public

*/

public static function getClassName($class) {

if(is_object($class))

$class = get_class($class);

  $class = explode('\\', $class);

    return end($class); 

And now I call it like this:

if(true === is_object($document) && 'MongoLanternDocument' == MongoLanternUtility::getClassName(get_class($document))) {

And the namespace issue is fixed.
