To create namespacing in your PHP project you can autoload files in composer.json like this:

//Suppose you have App folder which you need to autoload.
"autoload": {

       "psr-4": {

           "App\\": "app"

       }

   }

Now to initialize the subfolders of App like Controllers, Models you can write this in your PHP file:

namespace App\Controllers;

Don't forget to run this command

$ composer dump-autoload -o
