php - Laravel 5 - Moved User model to App/Models causing autoload issues

Solution:

A standard Laravel installation will work by simply changing the namespace as others have mentioned; however Laravel Spark references theUser andTeam models, therefore a namespace change alone will not work.

You shouldn't edit any files inside thevendor/laravel/spark-aurelius (aurelius codename will vary depending on your version) as these changes are not tracked.

With Spark, you should add the following lines into yourapp/Providers/SparkServiceProvider.php:

public function register()
{
    Spark::useUserModel('App\Models\User');
    Spark::useTeamModel('App\Models\Team');
}
Copy code

You can set your own customApp\Models directory, rather than using the above example.

Finally you will need to update any references you make to your models, e.g. update controllers fromuse App\User touse App\Models\User.

5th Jan 2020 Update: Remember to also updateSTRIPE_MODEL andBRAINTREE_MODEL values in your .env to your new namespace.

Laravel Spark 9.0 removes Braintree support, therefore you only need to updateCASHIER_MODEL in 9.0.

21st Dec 2020 Update: Laravel 8.x now keeps all models in theapp\Models directory by default. Even if you're on an older version of Laravel (e.g. 6.x) but are using Laravel Spark 11, then you do not need to do any of the above. Laravel Spark 11 will assume your models live inapp\Models.

Solution:

You need to changeUser model namespace:

namespace App\Models;
Copy code

Solution:

Try renaming the namespace. :)

namespace App\Models;

namespace App\Models;
