In Laravel, controllers are created using the **`artisan make` command**. They are created in the `app/Http/Controllers` directory. They are also automatically namespace, using this pathname.

Hence, we  will create a `PostController` like this:
```
PHP artisan make:controller PostController
```

We will create a new file called `PostController.php` at `app/Http/Controllers`. Sometimes, for organizational purposes, we may want to have a bunch of controllers grouped in a folder under the same namespace.

To create a controller with a custom namespace, we will add the custom folder name before the controller name, with a forward slash (`/`) between them. For example, to create a `PostController` in a `Users` directory, we will run the following code:
```
PHP artisan make:controller Users/PostController
```

This creates the `PostController.php` file in the `app/Http/Controllers/Users` folder. This folder is created automatically if it doesn't already exist. The controller is also automatically namespace like so:
```
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Users;
```

How can we create a Laravel controller in a custom namespace

Create controllers with custom namespaces by adding folder names before the controller name with a slash.
