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

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

A simple restart after composer update worked perfectly for me. I was looking for the answer, and got stuck at the same position. I'd suggest, run config:cache and cache:clear and restart the IDE. It will work.

Answer 3

Try it

php artisan cache:clear

php artisan clear-compiled

Answer 4

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') !!}

Answer 5

I think I have found the solution.

In your app.php you have declared

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

While in your View you have called the same class as

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

There is nothing wrong with the packages as the marked answer above but rather difference in capitalization of the word HTML as the previous documentation ver 5.0.*.

It should be

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

Answer 6

this is right way If you try to use Form::open() or any of the Form methods in a fresh Laravel 5 install, you would get something like this: http://laraveldaily.com/class-form-not-found-in-laravel-5/
