Class ' Form' not found in view-file.blade.php

Question

I'm trying to render a text input field in my view file. I keep getting this error: "Class 'form' not found in view-file.blade.php"

Template:

@extends('layouts.app')

@section('content')
    <h1>New</h1>

    {{ Form::open() }}
        {{ Form::text('my-name') }}
    {{ Form::close() }}
@endsection

'Composer show' lists the following:

laravel/framework v5.5.19 The Laravel Framework
laravelcollective/html v5.5.1  HTML and Form Builders for the Laravel Framework

I've already tried some things that were suggested in other SO questions like:

• composer dump-auto
• php artisan cache:clear
• php artisan config:clear

Still not working. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Install laravelcollective/html

composer require "laravelcollective/html":"^5.5"

Update Composer

composer update

Add Provider and Static Facade in config/app.php

<?php

'providers' => [

    Collective\Html\HtmlServiceProvider::class,

  ],

'aliases' => [

      'Form' => Collective\Html\FormFacade::class,

      'Html' => Collective\Html\HtmlFacade::class,

  ],
