Its going to change in Laravel 5.5. We can define “providers” and “aliases” directly into composer.json file.

        "providers": [ 
            "Foo\\Bar\\ServiceProvider" 
        ], 
        "aliases": { 
            "Bar": "Foo\\Bar\\Facade" 
        } 
    } 
} 

Package auto-discovery is a small change, but it has made installing packages easier and more streamlined in Laravel 5.5.
