Potential causes:

Answer 1

Try running composer require laravelcollective/html which will install the latest version of LaravelCollective packages for you.

Answer 2

I have decided to use AngularJS as my front end.
Note that this solution may not be suitable for everyone, and with this solution, problems may arrive in future, due to the need for other composer requirements, such as authentication dependencies that my be needed.
