Using vinkla/hashids package in Laravel 5.2

Question

I am using vinkla/hashids and i have followed the following steps

1. composer require vinkla/hashids
2. Add the service provider to config/app.php in the providers array
3. If you want you can use the facade. Add the reference in config/app.php to your aliases array.
4. php artisan vendor:publish this step does not create hashid.php in config file
5. use Vinkla\Hashids\Facades\Hashids;
6. Hashids::encode(4815162342);

And i get error that hashids class not found

Answer 1

It seems that the provider is not booting.

Try to do this:

php artisan config:clear
php artisan clear-compiled

The first will clear any cached config files, and the later will clear the services cache.

It worked for me, hope it works for you too.
