Call to undefined method Goutte\Client::setClient() - php

Question

I am stuck with this error...
but the client is defined.
my code like this
use Goutte\Client;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use GuzzleHttp\Client as GuzzleClient;
class WebScrapingController extends Controller
{
public function doWebScraping()
{
$goutteClient = new Client();
$guzzleClient = new GuzzleClient(array(
'timeout' => 60,
'verify' => false
));
$goutteClient->setClient($guzzleClient);
$crawler = $goutteClient->request('GET', 'https://duckduckgo.com/html/?q=Laravel');
$crawler->filter('.result__title .result__a')->each(function ($node) {
dump($node->text());
});
}
}
I think error from this line
$goutteClient->setClient($guzzleClient);
goutte: "^4.0" guzzle: "7.0" Laravel Framework: "6.20.4"

This answer is regarding creating instance of Goutte client, a simple PHP Web Scraper
For Version >= 4.0.0
Pass HttpClient(either guzzle httpclient , symfony httpclient) instance directly inside the instance of Goutte Client.
use Goutte\Client;
use Symfony\Component\HttpClient\HttpClient;// or use GuzzleHttp\Client as GuzzleClient;
$client = new Client(HttpClient::create(['timeout' => 60]));
// or
// $guzzleClient = new GuzzleClient(['timeout' => 60, 'verify' => false]); // pass this to Goutte Client
For Version <= 4.0.0 (i.e from 0.1.0 to 3.3.1)
use Goutte\Client;
use GuzzleHttp\Client as GuzzleClient;
$goutteClient = new Client();
$guzzleClient = new GuzzleClient(['timeout' => 60]);
$goutteClient->setClient($guzzleClient);
