Laravel 5.1: Class html does not exist

Question

I am upgrading from 4.2 directly to 5.1 and run into problems with the Html and Form classes.

I followed the upgrade notes, and did

• add "laravelcollective/html": "~5.0" to composer.json
• composer update
• add Collective\Html\HtmlServiceProvider::class to providers in app.php
• add Form' => Collective\Html\FormFacade::class, Html' => Collective\Html\HtmlFacade::class to aliases in app.php

But my views don't work. I get either Class HTML does not exist when using HTML::router or get Class html does not exist when using link_to_route

I also tried Illuminate\html instead of laravelcollective, I did a composer dump-autoload.

The complete errors:

ErrorException in Container.php line 736: Class html does not exist (View: C:\Dev\www\admin\resources\views\clubs\index.blade.php)
ReflectionException in Container.php line 736: Class html does not exist

What am I missing?

I tried everyone's answers and none of them worked for me for some reason. Ultimately I created a completely new laravel application, copied my code and then it started working, So though solved the actual problem remains a mystery.

Answer 1

Please change your blade file from this

{{ HTML::style('css/bootstrap.min.css') }}

to

{{ Html::style('css/bootstrap.min.css') }}

It's working.

Answer 2

Add in composer.json

 "illuminate/html": "5.*"

and run composer update

Open your config/app.php

add under 'providers'

Illuminate\Html\HtmlServiceProvider::class,

add under 'aliases'

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

and under your blade templates, use as such

{!! HTML::style('assets/css/flatten.css') !!}
