Where to put code

[cjsmith87]

I am probably missing something obvious here but where should i put the code for an admin Widget for my Addon Module? I want it to live inside my module, not the widgets folder. Is this possible? At the moment it is in my hooks.php like this:

add_hook('AdminHomeWidgets', 1, function() {
    return new AccessCodeWidget();
});

then the class is above. I was trying to put the class into a separate file so that my hooks.php isnt full of loads of code. I tried putting it in its own file AccessCodeWidget.php in the lib folder but then 

$codeToUse = App::getFromRequest('codeToUse');

Stopped working, even if is put Using App; in the file and set the namespace to be that of my module?

Sorry, I cant seem to edit my post so commenting again to add a bit more detail to the last code sample:

class AccessCodeWidget extends \WHMCS\Module\AbstractWidget
{
    protected $title = 'Generate Access Code';
    protected $description = '';
    protected $weight = 150;
    protected $columns = 1;
    protected $cache = false;
    protected $cacheExpiry = 120;
    protected $requiredPermission = '';

    public function getData()
    {
        return array();
    }

    public function generateOutput($data)
    {
		$codeToUse = App::getFromRequest('codeToUse');
		$codeToSet = '';

if ($codeToUse!=''){
			$fullCode = base64_encode(Tools::encrypt(str_replace('-','',$codeToUse)));
            $codeToSet = substr($fullCode,0,3) . '-' . substr($fullCode,3,3) . '-' . substr($fullCode,6,3);
        }

       	        return <<<EOF
		<br>
		<div class="container-fluid">
		<div class="row">
		<div class="col-xs-12">
		<div class="form-group">

		<div class="input-group">
			<input id="codeToCheck" type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Enter 9 Digit Code..." value={$codeToUse}>
			<span id="generateCode" class="input-group-btn"><button class="btn btn-info" type="button">Generate</button></span>
		</div>
		<br>
		<div class="input-group">
			<input id="validationCode" type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="___-___-___" value="{$codeToSet}" readonly>
			<span id="copyCode" class="input-group-btn"><button class="btn btn-info" type="button">Copy</button></span>
		</div>


		</div>

		</div>
		</div>
		</div>

		<script>
		$(document).ready(function() {
		$('#generateCode').click(function() {
        refreshWidget('AccessCodeWidget', 'codeToUse=' + $('#codeToCheck').val());
		});
		$('#copyCode').click(function() {
        var copyText = document.getElementById("validationCode");
		copyText.select();
		document.execCommand("copy");
		});
});
</script>
EOF;
    }
}

Place the hook code within the hooks.php file  within the module's folder.  Then to access the class, just put a "use" at the top of the hook such as :

use WHMCS\Module\Addon\YourMODULEname\Widgets\AccessCodeWidget;

and have a folder in the "lib" folder within the module's called "Widgets" and a file within that called "AccessCodeWidget.php" and the auto loader should load up the classes. 

Within AccessCodeWidget.php file, you want to put that in to the Widgets namespace such as:

namespace WHMCS\Module\Addon\YourMODULEname\Widgets;

(widgets is just a name I gave, you could name it whatever you want)

Hey, thanks for the reply, this is what i tried, I have just tried it again to be sure but the widget doesnt show up. I am thinking it is to do with this line of code:

$codeToUse = App::getFromRequest('codeToUse');

It works when it is in the hooks.php file but not when it is in its own class. Please see the code below for the use statements i include:

namespace WHMCS\Module\Addon\fourmatrix\Widgets;

use APP;
use WHMCS\Session;
use WHMCS\Database\Capsule;
use WHMCS\Service\Service;
use WHMCS\Module\AbstractWidget;
use WHMCS\Module\Addon\fourmatrix\Tools;

class AccessCodeWidget extends \WHMCS\Module\AbstractWidget
