Facade not found by AliasLoader in Laravel - laravel

Question

I added a custom facade to my 'config/app.php' in my laravel project under 'aliases'
'GeoLocation' => '\App\Facades\GeoLocation',
The folder of the custom class is in 'app/Facades/GeoLocation.php' and the service provider in 'app/Providers/GeoLocationServiceProvider.php'
How do I need to state the correct alias in the app.php to be able to load the Facade correctly? The error message is:
ErrorException in AliasLoader.php line 63:
Class 'Facades\GeoLocation' not found
This is my facade:
<?php namespace App\Facades;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Facade;
class GeoLocation extends Facade {
protected static function getFacadeAccessor() { return 'geolocation'; }
}
Could it be that the return value of my service provider is incorrect?
<?php namespace App\Providers;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
class GeoLocationServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider {
public function register() {
\App::bind('geolocation', function()
{
return new GeoLocation;
});
}
}
For a test I created another service provider called custom function:
<?php namespace App\Helpers;
class CustomFunction {
//Generate random float between -1 and 1
function f_rand($min = 0, $max = 1, $mul = 1000000) {
if ($min>$max) return false;
return mt_rand($min*$mul, $max*$mul) / $mul;
}
function test() {
echo "OK";
}
}
<?php namespace App\Providers;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
class CustomFunctionServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider {
public function register() {
\App::bind('customfunctions', function()
{
return new CustomFunction;
});
}
}

Answer 1

the simplest way is to change the namespace to the file app/Facades/GeoLocation.php' to App\Facades;
then update aliase registration to
'GeoLocation' => 'App\Facades\GeoLocation',
