What are the Differences Between "php artisan dump-autoload" and "composer dump-autoload"?

Laravel's Autoload is a bit different:

1) It will in fact use Composer for some stuff

2) It will call Composer with the optimize flag

3) It will 'recompile' loads of files creating the huge bootstrap/compiled.php

4) And also will find all of your Workbench packages and composer dump-autoload them, one by one.

php artisan dump-autoload was deprecated on Laravel 5, so you need to use composer dump-autoload

composer dump-autoload

PATH vendor/composer/autoload_classmap.php

Composer dump-autoload won’t download a thing.
It just regenerates the list of all classes that need to be included in the project (autoload_classmap.php).
Ideal for when you have a new class inside your project.
autoload_classmap.php also includes the providers in config/app.php

php artisan dump-autoload
