And you've done a composer dump-autoload for the project?

Why doesn't my class autoload?
I've created a custom class OrderRepository with the following:
Custom Class
# path: app/Acme/Repositories/OrderRepository.php
<?php namespace App\Acme\Repositories;
class OrderRespository{
public function __contstruct()
{
# code...
}
}
Controller
# Snippets of what I've added
use App\Acme\Repositories\OrderRespository;
private $order;
public function __contstruct(OrderRespository $order){
$this->order = $order;
}
public function index()
{
dd($this->order);
}
I get a null object when hitting the uri.
When I tried dd(new OrderRepository());, I get the following error:
Class 'App\Acme\Repositories\OrderRespository' not found
What am I missing here?
p.s: Using laravel 5.1

Where are your creating your OrderRepository instance? Normally you don't have to dump autoload when creating a new class in the App hierarchy. Need to see your more code. Post your autoload section in your composer.json file.

In order to inject a dependency like that, you need to make App aware of it by registering the class in a service provider. Normally when using repositories, you would bind an interface to the concrete class and then inject the interface rather than the concrete class. Otherwise you're simply exchanging a hard dependency on a model with a hard dependency on another class.

Add below code in your "autoload" section of composer.json
"files": [
" app\Acme\Repositories\OrderRespository"
],
Then run below command :
composer dump-autoload
that's it you can use it anywhere by adding use statement.

You have a typo in your class name.
class OrderRespository
Your file name is app/Acme/Repositories/OrderRepository.php.
Either rename the file to match the class, or fix the class declaration so it matches the file name. The latter is probably the better option.

If your code is in app you are being autoloaded. Did you fix your typo? You don't need further composer entries.

There's another typo in your OrderRepository class.
__contstruct()
