laravel app::make() returns an error

Question

I've created a simple class Car which takes 2 arguments at its constructor, Wheels and SteeringWheel both of those arguments are another objects.

When I type App::make('Car'), as I recall, it should instantiate a Car object and do the dependency injection on it's own even without binding the Car class. However, when I do that, I get an error: ReflectionException: Class Car does not exist even tho I've used the Car namespace by doing: use Acme\Car at the top of the page.

However, if I provide to the make function the full "path" to the Car class, it works: App::make('\Acme\Car'); Any idea how I can make it work even if I type Car only?

The App::make() function doesn't use the includes at the top of the page, it creates a class from the string you provide. If you want to only use Car, remove the namespace Acme from the Car class.

I see. Well that's quite understandable why I guess. Thanks for clarifying my suspicion

Just to clarify something, if I was to add the Car class as an alias, it would be okay if I typed Car only? And, how come if you use a model it works? all of the models are in the global namespace?

If you don't put namespace in the models yourself, they are default not in a namespace/in global namespace. If you add Car as an alias, it should work.
