Homecontroller does not exist error in php

Question

Class App\Http\Controllers\HomeController does not exist

HomeController

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Post;

class HomeController extends Controller
{
    public function index()
    {
        $posts = Post::paginate(10);
        return view ('pages.index', ['posts' => $posts]);
    }

    public function show($slug)
    {
        $post = Post::where('slug', $slug)->firstOrFail();

        return view ('pages.show', compact('post')); 
    }
}

web.php

Route::get('/', 'HomeController@index');
Route::get('/post/{slug}', 'HomeController@show')->name('post.show');
Route::group(['prefix'=>'admin','namespace'=>'Admin'], function(){
    Route::get('/', 'DashboardController@index');
    Route::resource('/categories', 'CategoriesController');
    Route::resource('/tags', 'TagsController');
    Route::resource('/users', 'UsersController');
    Route::resource('/posts', 'PostsController');
});

At the beginning a new authorization controller appeared, I turned off the KG and removed

Did you try "composer dump-autoload" ? – Erkan Özkök Jun 16 '19 at 16:27 — Erkan Özkök, Jun 16 '19 at 16:27

Five most important commands if your Laravel is not working as expected after some modifications in .env or database folder or because of any other modifications. Here is full explanation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1ynDMC8UGg

php artisan config:clear
php artisan cache:clear
composer dump-autoload
php artisan view:clear
php artisan route:clear

In some cases adding the controller directory resolves this issue. Please check the controller directory and make changes according to that.

Normally it is App\Http\Controllers if so, then you can try with changing the route code to the following:

Route::get('/', 'App\Http\Controllers\HomeController@index');
Route::get('/post/{slug}', 'App\Http\Controllers\HomeController@show')->name('post.show');

check your controller directory.
