How to change app folder name in laravel 5

Question

I want to change main folder [app] to author name in laravel 5 how can I do that can I do that without change anything in autoloader or composer ?

Answer 1

You will have an entry on your composer.json file named "psr-4", inside change it to your new renamed directory.

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

Then in command line run:

$ composer dump-autoload

Or

$ php composer.phar dump-autoload
