Class 'Form' not found in Laravel 7

Question

I'm upgrading from Laravel 5 to Laravel 7.

I'm using a lot of Form::model on my project.

Class 'Form' not found

I tried to install

"laravelcollective/html": "~5.0"

I kept getting

What options do I have now ?

1. replace all Form facade with HTML ? that would be a lot ... 😭
2. add a Form Facade again on this new set up

Which one do you guys think I should do ?

Answer 1

To support Laravel 7.x, you will need to install version 6.0 of the HTML package. 5.x Does not support newer versions of Laravel after 5.8. Update your composer.json.

"laravelcollective/html": "~6.0"

After that run.

composer install

Or simply require it from the command line.

composer require laravelcollective/html "~6.0"

Answer 2

composer require laravelcollective/html

this dependency removed from laravel
