Where should i place "TodoList.php" model in Laravel 5?

I wondered if you could help me to.

I have a wall with this...hard!

I am using Laravel 5 and have placed my model under app, where User.php is

I have small differences with the course, instead of TodoList, I am using the word Myer

I have a MyersController with the following

<?php
public function index()
{
    $myers = Myer::all();
    return view('myers.index')->with('myers'.$myers);
}
?>

which is accessed at /myer Route::get('/myer/', 'MyersController@index');

When I try to access the page, I get the following error.

FatalErrorException in MyersController.php line 19: Class 'App\Myer' not found

Hmmm.. In Myer.php have you added a namespace?

<?php class Myer extends Eloquent { }

This is my model so far, what would I need to add? Just a little confused!

When I add use app\Myer;

I get the following error:

Cannot declare class Myer because the name is already in use

I am so confused with this now.

<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Myers extends Model { // }

Still no difference when create the model as so.

You tried generating the file with php artisan?

"php artisan app:name Myer"

and you can look in that template if the names are correctly added.

I think I see your problem.

<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Myer extends Model {

    //

}

and to use

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Myer;

class SomeController extends BaseController {

    /**
     * Show the thing
     *
     * @return Response
     */
    public function show()
    {
        $myers = Myer::all();

        return view('myers.show', compact('myers'));
    }

}

This set up should work fine. The example you gave you're using a plural of Myer (Myers) in your use statement. Unless you use an alias, make sure the two match up!

so try

<?php

use App\Myer;

// instead of

use App\Myers;

Thanks for all the help, in the end I wrote the statement

myers = \App\Myer::all();

and it worked. I thought my hair was going to fall out but I got there in the end. Thanks a lot

If you have persistant problem with things, try running:

composer dump-autoload

This basically forces composer to delete and refresh it's class map (the thing it uses to find where classes are quickly).

Have a go at importing it at the top of the class, I'm intreagued to see if it works! Or don't :p

Only in Laravel 4.1 would you have to modify the composer file ;)

Laravel 5 (or Laravel 5.1 now - make sure you upgrade!) comes with the app directory automatically psr-4'd. It should look like this out of the box.

    "autoload": {
        "classmap": [
            "database"
        ],
        "psr-4": {
            "App\\": "app/"
        }
    },

When composer sees psr-4, it assumes you are autoloading in a certain format. You therefore don't need to define the specific location of your models directory. Read more about psr-4
