FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

You don't need to do this!!!!!!
This was an experiment, but you don't need to do this!!!
A simpler way is to just modify the bootstrap/app.php file and your composer.json file
Simply add ...... create()->useAppPath(__DIR__.'/../app/Infrastructure);
Move all folders from /app into app/Infrastruction and then add other namespaces and modify namespace as you like in your psr-4 section of your composer.json file
Still has some caveats with 3rd party packages that may hard code namespaces to Models and such, but there are ways around that too if you get creative by extending those files and binding your class over theirs, but they few and far between.
I like this structure, it mimics close to Hexagonal (ports and adapters) architecture pattern
Lara Directories Package
!!!! This is experimental and comes with some caveats !!!!
The Laravel Directories package, opentech/directories, aims to provide a more flexible and organized directory structure for Laravel applications. By modifying the default Laravel configuration, you can break out of the default folder structure and separate your infrastructure, application, and domain logic.
Installation
-
Install the package using Composer:
-
Modify the
bootstrap/app.phpfile to initialize the package's factory: - Publish the package's configuration file:
This will create a new configuration file at config/directories.php. You can modify this file to customize the namespaces and paths according to your project's needs.
- Move the routes files to the
Routesfolder:
By default, Laravel stores its routes in the routes directory. To use the package's modified routes structure, move the web.php and console.php files to the Infrastructure/Http/Routes folder. Update the routes configuration in the config/directories.php file accordingly.
Caveats
- Laravel hard codes a lot of functionality into its artisan commands, so commands like installing the Broadcasting functionality (
php artisan install:broadcasting) may not work due to this. - To work around this, install the necessary packages before you hack the routes folder or create the
/routes/console.phpfile if you moved it already.
