Class not found when using custom class

I am using excel reader from https://github.com/nuovo/spreadsheet-reader and it is in app folder.

Now when I try to access it from HomeController.php using following code.

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\User;

use App\spreadsheet_reader\php_excel_reader\excel_reader2;
use App\spreadsheet_reader\SpreadsheetReader;

class HomeController extends Controller
{
    public function index()
   {
        require_once(base_path().'/app/spreadsheet_reader/php_excel_reader/excel_reader2.php');

       $Reader = new \App\spreadsheet_reader\SpreadsheetReader(base_path().'/UnRegisterClient.xlsx');
   }
}

Then it gives me following error.

Class 'App\spreadsheet_reader\SpreadsheetReader' not found

Any suggesstion how I can solve this? I mean how I can use my custom class?

I think the SpreadsheetReader is not defined in the namespace. You should call just new \SpreadsheetReader(...) or add use SpreadsheetReader and then call it new SpreadsheetReader()

Put your external files in the folder app/Libraries (first, create the Libraries folder) then just autoload the folder with that file.

For example, add this folder in the array or “classmap” in composer.json :

"autoload": {
    "classmap": [
        "database",
        "app\Libraries"
    ],
    "psr-4": {
        "App\\": "app/"
    }
},

Then run composer dump-autoload in your command line.
