How to create 'Modules' on a Laravel 5.3 installation

Step1: Create Folder “Modules” inside “app/”
Step2: In Modules folder create your Module (Module1( suppose admin Module))
Inside admin module : create the following folder

1. Controllers (here will your controller files)
2. Views (here will your View files)
3. Models (here will your Model files)
4. routes.php (here will your route code in this file)

Similarly, You can create another module

Module2( suppose API )
-Controllers
-Views
-Models
-routes.php
Similarly, you can create multiple modules

Step3 : Create ModuleServiceProvider.php inside “app/Providers/” Folder

Step4 : Paste following code inside ModuleServiceProvider.php

namespace App\Providers;

use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;

class ModuleServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    /**
     * Will make sure that the required modules have been fully loaded
     * @return void
     */
    public function boot()
    {
        // For each of the registered modules, include their routes and Views
        $modules = config("module.modules");

        while (list(,$module) = each($modules)) {
       
            // Load the routes for each of the modules
            if(file_exists(base_path('app/Modules/'.$module.'/routes.php'))) {
                include base_path('app/Modules/'.$module.'/routes.php');
            }

            // Load the views                                           
            if(is_dir(base_path('app/Modules/'.$module.'/Views'))) {
                $this->loadViewsFrom(base_path('app/Modules/'.$module.'/Views'), $module);
            }
        }
    }

    public function register() {}
}

Step5 : Add following line inside ‘config/app.php’ file

App\Providers\ModuleServiceProvider::class,

Step6 : Create module.php file inside ‘config’ folder

Step7 : Add following code inside module.php (path => “config/module.php”)

return [

'modules' => [

'User',
'Theme',
],

];
