Laravel 5 - Change model file location

Add the folder to the composer.json classmap:

"autoload": {
    "classmap": [
        "database",
        "app/Models"
    ]
}

you just need to namespace the models accordingly.

namespace App\Models\User

and wherever you may need to use them just reference them with the correct namespace.

use App\Models\User

Only Two places to change ...

1) At namespace in User.php

namespace App\Models;

When Use it,

use App\Models\User;

2) In config/auth.php

'providers' => [
'users' => [
    'driver' => 'eloquent',
    'model' => App\Models\User::class,
],

Note: After changing 2) ... Don't forget to php artisan config:cache and php artisan config:clear at command line.
