Laravel 5 keeps views and models in a separate folder in the resource directory

I searched for alot for my requirement, but I didn't find a working solution for me. I am creating a web application using laravel 5 where I want all the controllers related to admin access to go to the admin subfolder in the controllers folder. For this I found a good answer in Laravel Controller's subfolder routing , but now I'm worried about having to view views and models in separate folders so they can do without any problem. For example laravel 5 allows us to save all views for controllers in below format

  • resources
    • Views
      • Layouts
      • controller_name (for a specific controller view folder)
        • index.blade.php

Now I want something like this

  • resources
    • Views
      • Layouts
      • admin
        • controller_name (for a specific controller view folder)
          • index.blade.php

I am also looking at the same structure for the model as laravel 5, providing the model directly to the App folder. I found somewhere on the net that you can create a folder for the model in the application directly and you just need to specify the namespace in the model as shown below for the admin folder in the application directory.

<?php

    namespace App\Models\Admin;

    class Users extends Model{
    // do some stuff here
    }

?>

Any help will allow me to go further for the mu project.

You have complete freedom in the structure of your application. If your idea

resources/views/admin/mycontroller/index.blade.php

and your controller is put into a file app/Http/Controllers/Admin/MyController.php

, then you can use the view like this:

namespace App\Http\Controllers\Admin;

use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;

class MyController extends Controller {
    public function index() {
        return view('admin.controller.index');
    }
}

As far as your models are concerned, again Laravel is flexible and uses PSR-4 autoloading, so your namespace structure must match your directory structure. If you want to place your model Users

in a namespace App\Models\Admin

, just create this folder structure:

app/
    Models/
        Admin/
            Users.php
...
resources/
vendor/

In the file, Users.php

enter the model class:

<?php
namespace App\Models\Admin;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Users extends Model
{
    // ...
}


Note that the namespace Users

follows the directory structure:

  • App

    mapped to directory app/

  • App\Models

    displayed on app/Models

  • App\Models\Admin

    displayed on app/Models/Admin

  • and finally App\Models\Admin\Users

    mapped toapp/Models/Admin/Users.php

If your class is Users

meant to replace the standard Laravel User

Eloquent model , then you also need to modify the config file config/auth.php

and replace the line

'model' => 'App\User',

from

'model' => 'App\Models\Admin\Users',

Hope this helped.
