Class html does not exist

[piperone]

I have no idea if I've done this correctly. Basically, I did as you suggested: Made a new service provider called MenuServiceProvider with two methods - one empty register-method and a boot-method that has the code from the example in your readme (\Menu::make(...)). I then registered it in config/app.php.

Now I just get this:

ReflectionException in Container.php line 776:
Class html does not exist

By default in Laravel 5.0, Html and Form are not embedded anymore.

Add the following lines in the require section of composer.json file and run composer update "illuminate/html": "5.*"

Register the service provider in config/app.php by adding the following value into the providers array: 'Illuminate\Html\HtmlServiceProvider'

Register facades by adding these two lines in the aliases array: 'Form'=> 'Illuminate\Html\FormFacade', 'HTML'=> 'Illuminate\Html\HtmlFacade'

Coming back on my original answer, after finding out that they use Collective\Html\HtmlServiceProvider. I managed to solve your error by loading this manually in the service providers.

This is an error on my part though, I believe I'm using the HTML facade directly in the package rather than injecting it where I need it (I'll try to look into it today).

You shouldn't be forced to install a separate package and edit your service providers in this manner.

Yea, I saw that the Laravel-Collective-stuff was installed, so I assumed I didn't have to go through the require-illuminate-html-drill. It's a minor issue though, so I'm guessing @kaidesu will have it fixed before long :)

[ParadoxNL]

Just register it in the package boot fuction like this:

public function boot() {
    $this->app->register('Collective\Html\HtmlServiceProvider');
}

And it should work flawlessly.

@ParadoxNL thanks~

I pushed an update for this: 2820fb848da1c1a8e5aa7f399e52197bff4b67cf per ParadoxNL's suggestion (after checking, I was not referencing any facade directly). Let me know if this fixes your issue and we can get this closed :smile:
