I tried to implement a custom service provider and facade to my project:
1. Creation of folders for class to be included and facade /app/Helpers/GeoLocation.php /app/Facades/GeoLocation.php
2. Creation of class to be provided: Helpers/Geolocation.php
<?php namespace Helpers;
class GeoLocation {
public function test($text) {
return 'Cool ' . $text;
}
}
3. Cration of Facade for GeoLocation: Facades/Geolocation.php
<?php namespace Facades;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Facade;
class GeoLocation extends Facade {
protected static function getFacadeAccessor() { return 'geolocation'; }
}
4. Adding GeoLocationServiceProvider: /Providers/GeoLocationServiceProvider.php
<?php namespace Providers;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
class GeoLocationServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider {
public function register() {
App::bind('geolocation', function()
{
return new \Helpers\GeoLocation();
});
}
}
5. Adding information to app.php
/*
* Application Service Providers...
*/
'App\Providers\AppServiceProvider',
'App\Providers\BusServiceProvider',
'App\Providers\ConfigServiceProvider',
'App\Providers\EventServiceProvider',
'App\Providers\RouteServiceProvider',
'App\Providers\GeoLocationServiceProvider',
6. Adding alias
'GeoLocation' => 'Facades\GeoLocation'
After that I executed composer dump-autoload and used the new service provider:
routes.php
Route::get('/test', function() {
return GeoLocation::test('test');
});
But it returns the following error:
FatalErrorException in ProviderRepository.php line 150:
Class 'App\Providers\GeoLocationServiceProvider' not found

I have no clue what I missed out. Is it about the folders?
