PHP - Composer Autoload - Class not found

I'm having a problem with using autoloaded classes through composer.

Here is my file structure:

-cache
-public
-src
--Repository
---PostRepository.php
-index.php
-composer.json

I'm trying to load PostRepository.php in index.php. But getting an error

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class 'App\Repository\PostRepository' not found in /opt/lampp/htdocs/index.php:12 Stack trace: #0 {main} thrown in /opt/lampp/htdocs/index.php on line 12

Here is my composer.json:

{
  "require": {
    "twig/twig": "^2.0"
  },

  "autoload": {
    "psr-4":  {
      "App\\" : "src/"
    }
  }
}

here is my PostRepository.php

<?php
namespace App\Repository;

class PostRepository
{
    ...
}

and here is my index.php

<?php
require __DIR__ . "/vendor/autoload.php";

use App\Repository\PostRepository;

$postClass = new PostRepository();
$posts = $postClass->getAllPosts();

var_dump($posts);

It looks like namespaces are ok. What could be wrong?

you should include the autoload.php before using any class.

try to make your code like this:

<?php

require __DIR__ . "/vendor/autoload.php";

use App\Repository\PostRepository;
$postClass = new PostRepository();
$posts = $postClass->getAllPosts();

var_dump($posts);

then do

composer dump-autoload

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class 'App\Repository\PostRepository' not found in /opt/lampp/htdocs/index.php:12 Stack trace: #0 {main} thrown in /opt/lampp/htdocs/index.php on line 12

htdocs/index.php !! do you have one project in htdocs? because you should be referencing htdocs/your-project-folder/index.php
