Laravel : Extends Controller not found - laravel

Question

when trying to get data and returns it via transformers got an error Class 'App\\Api\\V1\\Controllers\\Auth\\ApiController' not found. Using ApiController to extends.I put APIcontroller to App\\Api\\V1\\Controllers\\Front folder.
LoginController Code and extends it to ApiController:
<?php
namespace App\Api\V1\Controllers\Auth;
use Auth;
use Carbon\Carbon;
use Tymon\JWTAuth\JWTAuth;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use App\Api\V1\Requests\LoginRequest;
use Tymon\JWTAuth\Exceptions\JWTException;
use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\HttpException;
use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\AccessDeniedHttpException;
use App\User;
use App\UserDeviceData;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Transformers\UserTransformer;
class LoginController extends ApiController // extends to API controller
{
public function login(LoginRequest $request, JWTAuth $JWTAuth)
{
$credentials = $request->only(['email', 'password']);
try {
$token = Auth::guard()->attempt($credentials);
if(!$token) {
return response()->json([
'message' => "Email and password do not match",
'status_code' => 403,
]);
}
$user = Auth::user();
$user->last_login = Carbon::now();
$user->save();
$user = Auth::user();
$user->UserDeviceData()->firstOrCreate([
'device_id' => $request->device_id
]);
} catch (JWTException $e) {
return response()->json([
'message' => "Internal server error",
'status_code' => 500,
]);
}
return $this->response->collection($user, new UserTransformer);
}
}
Api controller code : and set namespace App\Api\V1\Controllers\Front;
<?php
namespace App\Api\V1\Controllers\Front;
use App\Support\Response;
use App\Support\Parameters;
abstract class ApiController extends Controller
{
protected $response;
protected $parameters;
public function __construct(Response $response, Parameters $parameters)
{
$this->response = $response;
$this->parameters = $parameters;
}
}
What is the problem in my code?

As ApiController and LoginController are using a different namespace, you need to use your ApiController in LoginController.
use App\Api\V1\Controllers\Front\ApiController;
You also forgot to use Controller in ApiController:
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
