Generate Model, Controller outside of app folder in Laravel

Question

How to create controller and model files outside of app folder. For example, when we do

php artisan make:model ModelName

it creates Model file inside app folder. When we specify namespace like

php artisan make:model SomeFolder/ModelName

it creates Model file inside app/SomeFolder/ModelName.

I wanted to create model files outside of app folder. How to achieve this?

Answer 1

I don't see the reason, but I managed to make it on my local computer by php artisan make:model ../../mOdel . Probably in production environment you won't be allowed to do this.

Answer 2

Yes you can achieve this via below steps:

1) Change psr-4 value for 'App' into composer.json file

2) Run composer dump-autoload command for load composer

3) Run command for manually created model php artisan make:model yourfoldername/model

NOTE: Make sure, whenever you create model using command you need to change namespace.
