I've making my first laravel applications based on some phpacademy tutorials on youtube. Seems like they're using Laravel 4.x and some things are a bit different but I've managed to figure them out.

Let's say I create a new model called Post (for blog posts)

By default this is the code

<?php namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Post extends Model {}

If I want to use methods like ' Post::get(); ' I get the error:

"FatalErrorException in HomeController.php line 14: Class 'App\Http\Controllers\Post' not found" unless in put in the file heading: " use App\Post "

Do I have do this for every single model I create? because I've seen they don't do it in some tutorials, am I doing something wrong? or is something that you have to do in Laravel 5.

Thanks in advance
