php trait not found?

Question

Im not using laravel or any framework, i am following the tutorial in O'reilly modern php book. I'm using php version 7;

and when using traits i get this error

Fatal error: Trait 'Geocodable' not found in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/eli9/RetailStore.php on line 5

here is the following code

Geocodable.php

<?php

trait Geocodable{

    protected $address;

    protected $geocoder;

    protected $geocoderResult;

    public function setGeocoder(\Geocoder\Geocoder $geocoder)
    {
        $this->geocoder = $geocoder;
    }

    public function setAddress($address)
    {
        $this->address = $address;
    }


    public function getLatitude()
    {
        if(!isset($this->geocoderResult)){
            $this->geocodeAddress();
        }

        return $this->geocoderResult->first()->getLatitude();
    }

    public function getLongitude()
    {
        if(!isset($this->geocoderResult)){
            $this->geocodeAddress();
        }

        return $this->geocoderResult->first()->getLongitude();
    }


    public function getcodeAddress()
    {
        $this->geocoderResult = $this->gecoder->geocode($this->address);

        return true;
    }
}

RetailStore.php

<?php

class RetailStore
{
    use Geocodable;
}

i have not, i was under the impression that using `use geocodable;` would include the file and grab the methods from there — BARNOWL, May 18 '17 at 17:07
@AbraCadaver i have to require files using namespaces and traits ? — BARNOWL, May 18 '17 at 17:08
Read the duplicate questions about autoloading. In short, yes, you have to load them. But set up an autoloader and your code will work as you're expecting — Machavity, May 18 '17 at 17:10
