Laravel Controller Subfolder routing

Question

I\'m new to Laravel. To try and keep my app organized I would like to put my controllers into subfolders of the controller folder.

controllers\\
---- folder1         


        

Answer 1

1) That is how you can make your app organized:

Every route file (web.php, api.php ...) is declared in a map() method, in a file

\app\Providers\RouteServiceProvider.php

When you mapping a route file you can set a ->namespace($this->namespace) for it, you will see it there among examples.

It means that you can create more files to make your project more structured!

And set different namespaces for each of them.

But I prefer set empty string for the namespace ""

2) You can set your controllers to rout in a native php way, see the example:

Route::resource('/users', UserController::class);
Route::get('/agents', [AgentController::class, 'list'])->name('agents.list');

Now you can double click your controller names in your IDE to get there quickly and conveniently.
