php artisan module:make Admin

 Step 4: Module Structure

      ├── Config/
      ├── Console/
      ├── Database/
          ├── factories/
          ├── Migrations/
          ├── Seeders/
      ├── Entities/
      ├── Http/
          ├── Controllers/
          ├── Middleware/
          ├── Requests/
      ├── Providers/
