This would be the most helpful feature to be added next.

If it is of any use I went through the whole Developing an MVC Component (j3.x) and built the component. I have changed all of the class names to use the new namespace ones as denoted in classmap.php. The code might all be similiar or the same for Joomla 4. The tutorials I found were in depth, I just struggled with the component being called HelloWorld and one of the views being called HelloWorld, I have corrected this in my version.

• Classes All Renamed - As per tutorial

I will be making more changes and improvements to it over time, as you can see I have some issues listed.
