Laravel 5: Installing Form and HTML classes without composer
Installing laracollective/html:
1) Download zip package from extension's git repository
2) Unpack contents and create this directory structure: laravelcollective/html/{contents of html-5.1 directory}
3) Copy this structure to the vendor folder in your Laravel installation.
4) In vendor/composer/autoload_classmap.php add these lines
'Collective\\Html\\FormBuilder' => $vendorDir . '/laravelcollective/html/src/FormBuilder.php','Collective\\Html\\FormFacade' => $vendorDir . '/laravelcollective/html/src/FormFacade.php','Collective\\Html\\HtmlBuilder' => $vendorDir . '/laravelcollective/html/src/HtmlBuilder.php','Collective\\Html\\HtmlFacade' => $vendorDir . '/laravelcollective/html/src/HtmlFacade.php','Collective\\Html\\HtmlServiceProvider' => $vendorDir . '/laravelcollective/html/src/HtmlServiceProvider.php',after
'ClassPreloader\\Parser\\NodeTraverser' => $vendorDir . '/classpreloader/classpreloader/src/Parser/NodeTraverser.php',so that Laravel knows where to look for these classes when requested.
5) Add this line as a last element to return array(...) in vendor/composer/autoload_files.php
$vendorDir . '/laravelcollective/html/src/helpers.php',6) Add this line to return array(...) in vendor/composer/autoload_psr4.php
// 'Doctrine\\Instantiator\\' => array($vendorDir . '/doctrine/instantiator/src/Doctrine/Instantiator'),'Collective\\Html\\' => array($vendorDir . '/laravelcollective/html/src'), // 'ClassPreloader\\' => array($vendorDir . '/classpreloader/classpreloader/src'),7) Add providers to providers array of config/app.php:
'providers' => [// ...Collective\Html\HtmlServiceProvider::class,// ...],
8) Add two class aliases to the aliases array of config/app.php:
'aliases' => [// ... 'Form' => Collective\Html\FormFacade::class, 'Html' => Collective\Html\HtmlFacade::class,// ...],
