Laravel doesn't have a fixed folder to store library files starting from Laravel 5. We can create a new folder under App folder called Libraries ( App/Libraries ). Open composer. json and add the newly created folder “app/Libraries” to autoload list.
Auto-Loading allows you to load class files when they are needed without explicitly loading or including them. This gives you ease in running your application by loading those files automatically which are needed every time. Laravel is built to work with Composer.
The PHP Autoloader searches recursively in defined directories for class, trait and interface definitions. Without any further configuration the directory in which the requiring file resides will be used as default class path. File names don't need to obey any convention. All files are searched for class definitions.
After you create the composer. json file in your project root with the above contents, you just need to run the composer dump-autoload command to create the necessary autoloader files. These will be created under the vendor directory. Finally, you need to include the require 'vendor/autoload.
Did you install Laravel's dependencies? When you unzip the framework in your work environment (i.g. htdocs) you must install the necesary dependencies with the command php composer.phar install
(assuming you have installed composer and git). When that is done, you will be able to see the home page of the framework.
I had same problem on Windows(Also works for Mac).
Solution:
composer install
command in cmdDone!
This message occurs for Laravel's dependencies.
If never run composer install
in your project then run this command on the terminal.
Else run composer update --no-scripts
. All Laravel dependencies will download.
