Referring to namespaced classes

[mudrd8mz]

Just for your information, Moodle coding guidelines have somewhat strict guidelines on how (not to) use the namespaced classes. Things like $this->user = new domain\user(); are explicitly discouraged at https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Coding_style#Namespaces
As with any coding style guidelines, this is something you may or may not agree with but it's a result of quite long discussions.
We do not strictly discriminate contributed plugins on the coding style. But I noticed you try to get in line with Moodle coding guidelines so I thought I would let you know here.

Hi David,

Thanks for providing me with feedback.

Would this be resolved by adding a "use domain\user as user" line to the top of the file so that I can just refer to "user" inline?

Thanks again

Mark

Well, not really. Moodle coding style explicitly states:

Do not use named imports ("use XXX as YYY;") unless it is absolutely required to resolve a conflict.

I am just quoting https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Coding_style#Namespaces here. Please note this is really meant as a note. Of course, you can decide to ignore it (although we generally encourage the community to follow the Moodle coding style for plugins, too).
