Installation

1. Add this package to your composer.json:

    "require": {
        "doctrine/dbal": "^2.5",
        "laracasts/flash": "dev-master",
        "laravelcollective/html": "^5.2"
    }
   
    "require-dev": {
        "peaches/laravel-generator": "1.*"
    }
   

2. Run composer update

    composer update
   

3. Add the ServiceProviders to the providers array in config/app.php.
   As we are using these two packages laravelcollective/html & laracasts/flash as a dependency.
   so we need to add those ServiceProviders as well.

    Collective\Html\HtmlServiceProvider::class,
    Laracasts\Flash\FlashServiceProvider::class,
    Peaches\Generator\GeneratorServiceProvider::class,
   

   Also for convenience, add these facades in alias array in config/app.php.

    'Form'      => Collective\Html\FormFacade::class,
    'Html'      => Collective\Html\HtmlFacade::class,
    'Flash'     => Laracasts\Flash\Flash::class
