Laravel 5 Extension of the main class

Question

I am trying to extend the main Laravel 5 class. What I want to achieve is that I can have custom url generators, for example. URL :: test () will generate a custom link.

So far, I:

• Created application / folder Acme / lib

• Added / Acme / lib application interface to classmap composer.json

  "autoload": {
      "classmap": [
          ....
          app/Acme/lib
       ]
  }
  

• Created custom UrlGenerator class in Acme / lib / CustomUrlGenerator.php

  <?php namespace App\Acme\lib;
  use \Illuminate\Routing\UrlGenerator;
  class CustomUrlGenerator extends UrlGenerator {
      public function test() {
         return $this->to('/test');
      }
  }
  

• Created Service Provider Application /Acme/lib/CustomUrlServiceProvider.php

  <?php namespace App\Acme\lib;
  use \Illuminate\Routing\RoutingServiceProvider;
  class CustomUrlServiceProvider extends RoutingServiceProvider {
      public function boot() {
          App::bind('url', function() {
              return new CustomUrlGenerator(
                  App::make('router')->getRoutes(),
                  App::make('request')
              );
          });
          parent::boot();
      }
  }
  

• Registered service provider in the application /config/app.php

• Starting the dump-autoload linker

Now when I run {!! URL :: test () !!}, im gets 404 for each route

RouteCollection.php, . , composer.json, :

"autoload": {
"classmap": [
        // ....
        "App\\Your_Namespace\\" : "app/Acme/lib",
    ]
}
