Cake 5.x App Directory? Is this a thing of the past?

Need Help
1

So… If you want something built in Cakephp 2.x… I’m your huckleberry…But, alas, it is time to rewrite our stable Cakephp 2.x in the latest and greatest… I feel like an infant :roll_eyes:. I’ve got my environment installed and now I am starting using the “Quick Guide” but…Where the heck is the app directory??? lol. I have built my first model to extend Table, but I am getting this error:

Class “App\Model\Table\Table” not found

App is the src directory.

This bit in composer.json does the mapping:

    "autoload": {
        "psr-4": {
            "App\\": "src/"
        }
    },

With CakePHP 3 we changed from manually loading PHP files to composer autoloading via namespaces.

See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3E_UdH1XeE if you don’t know what that is.
