Answer 1

Use composer.json :

   "autoload": {
    "classmap": [
        "database",
        "app/Transformers"
    ]
 },

Add your auto load directories like I added app/Transformers.

Don't Forget to add run composer dump-autoload.

The only problem with this method is you need to run composer dump-autoload whenever you add new class do that directory.

Or You can use "Files" in composer.json.

"autoload": {
    "files": ["src/MyLibrary/functions.php"]
}
