Laravel 5 has ORM models by default in app folder. I want to move these into app/models. When I do that then these classes are not found anymore.
How to make Laravel find the Eloquent ORM models from app/models?
Models in Laravel 5.5 are created inside the app folder. Models are mostly used to interact with the database using Eloquent ORM. Eloquent provides simple ActiveRecord implementations for database interaction.
Eloquent is an object relational mapper (ORM) that is included by default within the Laravel framework. An ORM is software that facilitates handling database records by representing data as objects, working as a layer of abstraction on top of the database engine used to store an application's data.
Yes you can. A while ago Dan Horrigan released a package called Capsule for Laravel 4 which allowed Eloquent to be used independently and with minimal setup. The package itself has been merged with the L4 core so you no longer need to use the package.
Say you want to move the models to app/Models
For each model change :
namespace App;
to
namespace App\Models;
Check these files and search especially app\User
app/Http/Controllers/Auth/RegisterController.php
config/auth.php
config/services.php
database/factories/ModelFactory.php
database/factories/UserFactory.php
And change App/ModelExample
to App/Models/ModelExample
Run composer dump-autoload
