Hey Just for clearing your doubts giving you some hint for this basic question.
If you want to use controller you can use it with the help of namespaces like below:
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
And if you want to fix this error Class "App\Http\Controllers\settingsController\Settings" not found
First, you need to specify the modal from where you want the data like this:
use App\Models\Settings;
After that If you want to retrieve data form that modal you can simply do this:
$data = Settings::find($id);
Hope it will help you for basic understanding the usage of controllers and modals in laravel. If you are still struggling with the issue below doc link will surely help you. Keep Learning.
