Class '\App\User' not found in Laravel when changing the namespace

I am having this error when moving User.php to Models/User.php

local.ERROR: Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalThrowableError: Fatal error: Class '\App\User' not found

vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Auth/EloquentUserProvider.php:126

Solution

  • Go to config/auth.php and change App\User:class to App\Models\User::class. 

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

    Also change the namespace of User.php model

    namespace App\Models;
