Laravel 5.1 - Form: Method number does not exist

Question

I've just upgraded to Laravel 5.1 and i'm creating a simple form with "text" and "number" inputs. My problem came when i need to declare as numeric one of my input fields:

{!! Form::number('otp', null, ['class' => 'form-control', 'placeholder' => 'OTP']) !!}

It outputs this error: Method number does not exist. In addiction, i don't see the section "Html and Forms" in the docs, it seems they removed it.

Does anybody had my same problem with Laravel 5.1?

Answer 1

It seems some rules are changed in 5.1, so to solve this, first update the composer.json:

"require": {
    "laravelcollective/html": "5.1.*"
}

then the app.php file:

'providers' => [
   // ...
   Collective\Html\HtmlServiceProvider::class,
   // ...
],


'aliases' => [
   // ...
     'Form' => Collective\Html\FormFacade::class,
     'Html' => Collective\Html\HtmlFacade::class,
   // ...
],

You may use {!! Form::input('number', 'otp', null, ['class' => 'form-control']) !!}.
