Trying to put a trait in my plugin so I cam share common code between my components.

• I created a Trait in october/plugins/kurtjensen/myplugin/traits/MyTrait.php

  <?php namespace KurtJensen\MyPlugin\Traits;
  use Auth;
  use RainLab\User\Components\Account;
  use KurtJensen\MyPlugin\Models\Settings;
  trait MyTrait
  {
      public static $myarray = [];
     public function myFunction()
      {
                 return array(1,2,3,4);
      }
  }

• In my component october/plugins/kurtjensen/myplugin/components/MyComponent.php I did:

  <?php namespace KurtJensen\MyPlugin\Components;
  use RainLab\Blog\Components\Post;
  class MyComponent extends Post
  {
      use MyTrait;
  // mycode
  }

I am getting error:

    Trait 'KurtJensen\MyPlugin\Components\MyTrait' not found

I have tried changing namespace and moving traits folder around inside plugin but nothing I have tried seems to get this working. if I use:

     use KurtJensen\MyPlugin\MyTrait;

I get:

    Trait 'KurtJensen\MyPlugin\Components\KurtJensen\MyPlugin\MyTrait' not found

if I use:

     use KurtJensen\MyPlugin\Traits\MyTrait;

I get:

    Trait 'KurtJensen\MyPlugin\Components\KurtJensen\MyPlugin\Traits\MyTrait' not found

It looks like you just forgot to add the leading backslash. Give this a try...

use \KurtJensen\MyPlugin\Traits\MyTrait;
