This is documentation for Shopper v1, which is no longer maintained. Please refer to the v2 docs for the latest information.
Controllers group related Laravel request handling logic into single classes stored in the app/Http/Controllers/ directory. In this section we will create our own controllers to add functionality to our admin panel. To configure your controllers, you need to look at the controllers key in the shopper/system.php configuration file. 
'controllers' => [

	'namespace' => 'App\\Http\\Controllers\\Shopper',

],
This implies that all controllers that will be loaded into the shopper control panel must be in the app/Http/Controllers/Shopper folder. But you can change this namespace, you can change it for example to load them into a CPanel folder. For this your configuration should look like this 
'controllers' => [

	'namespace' => 'App\\Http\\Controllers\\CPanel',

],

​
Create Controller

You can create a controller using the following laravel command, which will generate a class in the App\Http\Controllers\Shopper namespace. 
php artisan make:controller Shopper\\PostController
You can now add all your actions and set up the management of your articles 
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Shopper;

use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class PostController extends Controller
{
	//
}
