Good morning, other than Laravel 4 , the 5.1 version creates the Models directly in the App folder, I wanted to know if it will influence something if I create folders to better organize those Models .

php laravel laravel-5

You will have to change the namespace of the model classes. For example

namespace App\Models;

If the folder you create is named Models (case sensitive) and is within app . This is because composer.json is set to auto-load the classes within the app folder on the PSR-4 model.

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

After the change, you will have to execute a composer dumpautoload to generate the new class of autoload .

If you are using Laravel's native authentication systems, you will have to change the file auth.php to config .

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Authentication Model
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| When using the "Eloquent" authentication driver, we need to know which
| Eloquent model should be used to retrieve your users. Of course, it
| is often just the "User" model but you may use whatever you like.
|
*/

'model' => App\Models\User::class,

If you are using JWT, you will have to change the jwt.php to config

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| User Model namespace
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Specify the full namespace to your User model.
| e.g. 'Acme\Entities\User'
|
*/

'user' => 'App\Models\User',

Summarizing

Personally, I believe it's a good practice to create the templates within a specific folder. Laravel offers easy reconfiguration of all dependencies for this.
