PHP Namespace convention

Question

i am not sure if this is possible in PHP namespaces. please help me

// folder structure
app
-- ModelsFolder // the models folder
---- ComponentsFolder // some traits
------ Traits::class
---- User::class
---- OtherModel::class

the Classes are only using the app folder as namespace

// User class
<?php
namespace App;

in my controllers i use the class as..

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\User; // import class
use App\OtherModel;

i wonder if this setup is possible, because it's giving me FatalError saying the Class 'App\User' not found.

i'm using psr-4 in my composer project.

Can you paste the autoload section of your composer.json here ? — Pubudu Jayawardana, Oct 10 '17 at 04:08

Namespaces are from directory structure

User model

//User class

<?php 
namespace App\ModelsFolder;

In your controllers

<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers; 
use App\ModelsFolder\User;  // import class 
use App\ModelsFolder\OtherModel;

No if you change the folder structure you need to change your namespaces accordingly, forgive my formatting it's not easy to format on mobile – Clive Makamara Oct 10 '17 at 03:43
If you'd like to use App\User you'd need to move your models up one directory level – Clive Makamara Oct 10 '17 at 03:48
