具有命名空间的Laravel Api Route失败

Question

i have a small crud frontend to store information. The frontend controller is called ShowsController. And i want to get alle Shows from the api.

So my routes/web.php contains:

Route::resource('shows', 'ShowsController');

Thats perfect and worked really well.

My routes/api.php contains:

Route::resource('shows', 'ShowsController', ['only' => ['index']]);

The route /api/shows should give me the shows as json. to decide frontend and api i put the ShowsController into Controllers/Api folder

The Controllers/Api/ShowsController contains:

namespace App\Http\Controllers\Api;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Show;

class ShowsController extends Controller
{
    public function index(){
        return response()
            ->json(Show::all())->withHeaders([
                'Content-Type' => 'text/json',
                'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' => '*'
            ]);
    }
}

And i also changed the RouteServiceProvider to:

protected function mapApiRoutes()
{
    Route::group([
        'middleware' => 'api',
        'namespace' => 'Api',
        'prefix' => 'api',
    ], function ($router) {
        require base_path('routes/api.php');
    });
}

But the command php artisan route:list gives me an exception:

[ReflectionException]
Class Api\ShowsController does not exist

Why is laravel not finding the defined ShowsController in the api directory?

I don't know what version of Laravel you are using, but in 5.4, I have, by default, this method:

protected function mapApiRoutes()
{
    Route::prefix('api')
         ->middleware('api')
         ->namespace($this->namespace)
         ->group(base_path('routes/api.php'));
}

It could work if you replace namespace($this->namespace) by namespace($this->namespace . '\Api').
