Hey! 🙂 This is a page I’m preparing quickly for developers who are used to the folder structure of Laravel 4 and older, just to serve as reference on where we can find things in Laravel 5 now.
If like me, you are new to Laravel 5 but have developed apps using older Laravel versions, you might also be a little confused with the new folder structure. Let the following table of data guide you. Don’t worry, after a while, I’m sure you’ll get used to the Laravel 5 folder structure. 🙂
| Find what? | Before Laravel 5 | In Laravel 5 |
|---|---|---|
| routes.php | /app/routes.php | /app/Http/routes.php |
| Controllers Folder | /app/controllers | /app/Http/Controllers |
| Models Folder | /app/models | usually /app or /app/models |
| Views Folder | /app/views | /resources/views |
| Config Folder | /app/config | /config |
I know, I wrote this Laravel 5 setup tutorial earlier. But I honestly haven’t really gotten used to the changes in Laravel 5 yet because I got caught up in learning Android app development. Not a bad thing though! 😀
