Answer 1

First you have to install the Illuminate Html helper class:

composer require "illuminate/html":"5.0.*"

Next you need to open /config/app.php and update as follows:

'providers' => [

...

Illuminate\Html\HtmlServiceProvider::class,
],

'aliases' => [

...

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

To confirm it’s working use the following command:

php artisan tinker
> Form::text('foo')
""

To include external css in you files, use the following syntax:

{!! HTML::style('foo/bar.css') !!}
