Laravel: Even though I added use Input; I get "Class 'Input' not found"

Question

This is my AuthorController.php

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Models\Post;
use App\Models\Author;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\Requests;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use DB;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Redirect;
use View;
use Input;

class AuthorController extends Controller {

  public function index()
  {
    $author_name = Input::get('name');
    $author_slug = Input::get('slug');
    $author_bio = Input::get('bio');

    $new_author = Author::create(array('name' => $author_name, 'slug' => $author_slug, 'bio' => $author_bio));

    return Redirect::to('/');

  }

}

?>

This is what's in my Routes file

Route::post('/create-author', [
  'as' => 'create-author',
  'uses' => 'AuthorController@index'
]);

I'm not quite sure what's wrong, I tried hardcoding something into the database with $new_author = Author::create(array('name' => 'John)); and it worked, would it be the directory in which the Input class is in relative to my AuthorController.php, which is in App\Controllers

It worked, thank you! Can you write that in an answer so I can choose it as correct ? Thank you — Sam Chahine

Use this in your controller,

 use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Input;

Each time when you want to use predefined class , you can see the alias defined for it in config/app.php. you should use via facade only,

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Input;
