Not adding HTML package to Laravel using composer

Question

Laravel provides various in built tags to handle HTML forms easily and securely. All the major elements of HTML are generated using Laravel. So i am going to take this facility but its not working.

I use composer require laravelcollective/html.

Command prompt says:

laravel>composer require laravelcollective/html
Using version ^5.2 for laravelcollective/html
./composer.json has been updated
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
Nothing to install or update

Package illuminate/html is abandoned, you should avoid using it. Use laravelcollective/html instead.

> Illuminate\Foundation\ComposerScripts::postUpdate
> php artisan optimize

Answer 1

Look for a vendor/illuminate/html or vendor/laravelcollective/html folder, relative to the project root. Look for the illuminate/html or laravelcollective/html string inside the composer.json or composer.lock.

The first one is the dependencies you defined, the seconde file contains the already installed ones.

I guess you already have that package as composer said nothing to install or update.

If the composer.lock or the vendor folder contains any of the strings/folders, then you have already installed it and can use them in your code.

UPDATE

Register the service provider in config/app.php by adding the following value into the providers array:

Collective\Html\HtmlServiceProvider::class

Register facades by adding these two lines in the aliases array:

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