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 \"laravelcollec

Answer 1

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') !!}
