Renaming Class

If you rename a class, the framework will not be able to find the existing files associated with the class. This is because the framework uses the class name to determine where to store the files.

By default, the framework uses the SHA-1 hash of the class name to determine the file location. If you rename the class, the SHA-1 hash will change, and the location of the files will change as well.

To avoid this, you can use the WithFileAssociation attribute on the class to specify a custom class signature. This will allow you to rename the class without changing the file location.

use Rekalogika\File\Attribute\WithFileAssociation;

#[WithFileAssociation('ffa87ef3fc5388bc8b666e2cec17d27cc493d0c1')]
class Product
{
    // ...
}

To obtain the class signature of the old class, you can apply SHA-1 to the old class name. For example, you can use a command line like this:

$ echo -n 'App\Entity\Product' | sha1sum
