ClassDiscovery::safeClassExists( string $class ): bool

In this article

We need a “safe” version of PHP’s “class_exists” because Magento has a bug (or they call it a “feature”). Magento is throwing an exception if you do class_exists() on a class that ends with “Factory” and if that file does not exits.

Description

This function catches all potential exceptions and makes sure to always return a boolean.

Parameters

$classstringrequired

Return

bool

Source

public static function safeClassExists($class)
{
    try {
        return class_exists($class) || interface_exists($class);
    } catch (\Exception $e) {
        return \false;
    }
}
