I'm building a custom Laravel package which requires the guzzlehttp/guzzle package. Below is my composer.json file:

 "name": "lomse/awesomePackage",
 "description": "this an awesome package",
 "type": "library",
 "license": "MIT",
 "authors": [
 
 "name": "Selom",
 "email": "awesome@gmail.com"
 
 ],
 "minimum-stability": "dev",
 "require": 
 "guzzlehttp/guzzle": "^6.3"
 ,
 "autoload": 
 "psr-4": 
 "Lomse\AwesomePackage\": "src/"
 
 

Below is the content of my AwesomeProvider.php file:

<?php

namespace LomseAwesomePackage;

use GuzzleHttpClient;
use IlluminateSupportServiceProvider;

class AwesomeProvider extends ServiceProvider

 public function boot()
 

 public function register()
 
 $this->app->singleton(Awesome::class, function ($app) 
 return new Awesome(new Client); //Class 'GuzzleHttpClient' not found
 );
 

I keep getting Class 'GuzzleHttpClient' not found.
What am I doing wrong?

So, this turns out to be quite simple. I highlighted the steps to take in order to solve this. Hope this helps anyone who is having the same issue.

1. I had to push my code to a repo lomse/awesome-package on Github


2. 
   

   then specified preferred-install as dist in the ./lomse/awesome-package/package.json config property`:

   
   
   

   "config":
   "preferred-install": "dist"
   

   
   

The full code is

 "name": "lomse/awesome-package",
 "description": "this an awesome package",
 "type": "library",
 "license": "MIT",
 "authors": [
 
 "name": "Selom",
 "email": "awesome@gmail.com"
 
 ],
 "minimum-stability": "dev",
 "require": 
 "guzzlehttp/guzzle": "^6.3"
 ,
 "autoload": 
 "psr-4": 
 "Lomse\AwesomePackage\": "src/"
 
 ,
 "config": 
 "preferred-install": "dist"
 

In the root package.json, specify the repository of your package as follow:

"repositories": [
 
 "type": "git",
 "url": "git@github.com:lomse/awesome-package.git"
 
]

Also add your package repo to the package.json require property as shown below:

"lomse/awesome-package": "dev-master"

From your root directory, run the code below to update your dependencies. This will clone the lomse/awesome-package repo into your vendor folder and install any other dependencies required by your package:

composer update -vvv

-vvv is for debugging purposes
