Where to place Services? - Zark - 05-18-2020
I am wondering what's the best practice or convention for a location wherein to store custom 'Services'?
E.g. Authentication service.
If I may suggest a change to docs, adding in this info under Services would be helpful.

The docs cover it pretty well already. Put your custom services stuff in /app/Config/Services.php

Thanks for the reply, Dave. The docs cover how to register or define Services. What I am asking is where should one store the Class files in terms of best practices?

I prefer to keep the configuration files in app/Config/. The class files can be anywhere which is a nice change from CI v3. That said, I put them in app/Libraries more often than not. If multiple files are involved a subfolder to app/ is used, e.g. app/MyModule/.
