Trying the following config to load my models from root namespace failed. any alternative?
"autoload": { "psr-4": { "\\": "app/Models" } }, The following works but I have to run dumpautoload each time I create a new class.
"classmap": [ "app/Models" ], Any suggestion?
Instead of "\\", you should map "" to "app/Models". Quoting from composer docs:
If you want to have a fallback directory where any namespace will be looked for, you can use an empty prefix like:
{ "autoload": { "psr-4": { "": "src/" } } }
So, in your case:
{ "autoload": { "psr-4": { "": "app/Models" } } }
