    public function register()
    {
        //
        }

        /**
        * Require composer's autoload file the packages.
        *
        * @return void
        **/
        protected function loadAutoloader($path)
        {
            $finder = new Finder;
            $files = new Filesystem;

            $autoloads = $finder->in($path)->files()->name('autoload.php')->depth('<= 3')->followLinks();

        foreach ($autoloads as $file)
        {
            $files->requireOnce($file->getRealPath());
        }
        }

}

Answer 1

You want to add "yudijohn\\CrudGenerator\\": "packages/yudijohn/crud-generator/src" to the composer.json at your project root, not the package you just made. It should go right below the "App\\": "app/" entry.

After that, run composer dump-autoload to add it to composer's autoloaded classes.

I also don't believe you need PackageServiceProvider.php, it seems redundant to add another autoloader when you're using composer.

Also make sure your filename and classnames are the same, you mentioned CrudGeneratorServiceProvide.php while your class name is CrudGeneratorServiceProvider (notice the r at the end of the classname)
