This is the `ContactsController`:

```
<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Contact;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class ContactsController extends Controller
{
    .
    .
    .  
    public function edit($id)
    {
        $contact = Contact::find($id);
        print_r(App\Group::find(1));
        return view('contacts.edit');
    }
    .
    .
    . 
}

```

The `Contact.php` and `Group.php` models are already created in `app` folder. The problem is I can use `App\Group::find(1)` inside a `.blade.php` file but I can't use it in a method of a controller. My code reports the following error

> 
> Class 'App\Http\Controllers\Group' not found
> 
> 
> 

I also tried `print_r(Group::find(1));` the same error reported.

thanks
