How to structure a modular app in Laravel 5?

Question

I seem to have figured it all out.

I’ll post it here in case it helps other beginners, it was just about getting the namespaces right.

In my composer.json I have:

...
"autoload": {
    "classmap": [
        "database",
        "app/Modules"
    ],
    "psr-4": {
        "App\\": "app/",
        "Modules\\": "Modules/"
    }
}

My directory and files ended up like this:

enter image description here

I got my Core module router.php to work by wrapping my controllers for that module in a group specifying the namespace:

Route::group(array('namespace' => 'Modules\Core'), function() {
    Route::get('/test', ['uses' => 'TestController@index']);
});

I imagine when I come to doing my models for the package it will be a similar case of getting the namespaces right.

Thanks for all your help and patience!
