Laravel Facades global Facade for each individual class?

The concept of Facades is something new to me and the structure that Laravel uses to organize it seems over cluttered. 

app    
└───Facades
│   │   Facade.php
│   │
│   └───Classes
│       │   Facade.php
│       │

app/Facades/Facade.php

<?php
namespace App\Facades;

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Facade;

class Facade extends Facade
{
    protected static function getFacadeAccessor() {
        return 'Facade';
    }
}

app/Facades/Classes/Facade.php

<?php

namespace App\Facades\Classes;

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Facade;

class Facade extends Facade
{
    // Logic Here
}

What I want to do is combine the two of these together so I just have files in app/Facades but it doesn't seem there is a way to do that because Laravel relies on having the structure shown.

Are there any options to get this into a single file so I don't have tons of duplications?

You can prepend Facades when you are using the class' namespace. For instance, let's say you have a Foo class:

// app/Foo.php

namespace App;

class Foo
{
    public function bar() : string
    {
        return 'Hello world!';
    }
}

Then you can do this in your controller:


namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Facades\App\Foo;

class TestController
{
    public function __invoke() : void
    {
        echo Foo::bar(); // Hello world!
    }
}

With this approach, you do not need to "duplicate" your files.
