Class 'Form' not found in Laravel 7

Question

I'm upgrading from Laravel 5 to Laravel 7.

I'm using a lot of Form::model on my project.

Class 'Form' not found

I tried to install

"laravelcollective/html": "~5.0"

I kept getting

    - Conclusion: don't install laravel/framework v7.0.0

What options do I have now ?

1. replace all Form facade with HTML ? that would be a lot ... 😭
2. add a Form Facade again on this new set up

Which one do you guys think I should do ?

Have you tried with v6 laravelcollective? Check your version with: composer show -- laravelcollective/html – Repertory

use laravelcollective/html 6x instead of 5x. – Verbena

Answer 1

To support Laravel 7.x, you will need to install version 6.0 of the HTML package. 5.x Does not support newer versions of Laravel after 5.8. Update your composer.json.

"laravelcollective/html": "~6.0"

After that run.

composer install

Or simply require it from the command line.

composer require laravelcollective/html "~6.0"

Your updated answer works ! "laravelcollective/html": "~6.0" – Midshipman

Thanks @Beltran mrhn. For more information we can visit laravelcollective.com/docs/6.x/html – Bellows

BTW I am using it in Laravel 8.65 version. It works. – Bellows

Answer 2

composer require laravelcollective/html

this dependency removed from laravel

Yes dear, you are right. we will have to install it by composer composer require laravelcollective/html "~6.0" by command line. For more information we can visit laravelcollective.com/docs/6.x/html – Bellows
