There are many options for you to setup composer's autoload behaviours.

I'd recommend using psr-4 autoloading, for example:

...
"autoload": {
    // The rest of your composer autoload
    // add your namespace below
    "psr-4": [
        "Foo\\" : "app/Foo"
    ]
},
...

What this does is simply telling composer that you are following PSR-0/PSR-4 convention on structuring your folder/directory according to your namespace. You'll need to do composer dump-autoload for this to work the first time, but it'll pick new modules up automatically the next time without dump-autoload.
