Laravel 5.1 rename project

Question

What is the best solution if I want to rename my laravel 5.1 project, I just tried to rename one but it did not work properly got some errors.

Are there some kind of steps one has to do to rename a laravel project?

Answer 1

You should use php artisan app:name command to rename your app. It will change namespace in all project files for you. This is the only right way to rename your app.

Answer 2

From laravel version 5.3^ there is a function to call the app name

config('app.name');

You can change the default name 'Laravel' inside this file

config/app.php

'name' => 'Laravel',

And also inside .env file

APP_NAME=Laravel
