Laravel 5: How do i use forms in my 'Views' - php

Question

Im am a beginner in Laravel, running version 5.2.16. I have been using PHP for quite some time but i have to get used to the MVC structure.
I have successfully added the optional dependancy for Html and Form, and they work.
I am trying to add a view where a client can register to my site, this view includes various forms. Now, when i try to route the view (register.blade.php) to the controller (RegisterController.php) I keep getting errors.
I suspect that I use the namespaces wrong, or that i doesn't "Use" the right things.
routes.php:
Route::get('register', 'RegisterController#showRegister');
RegisterController.php:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
class RegisterController extends Controller {
public function showRegister()
{
return view('register');
}
}
In my config/app.php file i have added: (Should this be Illuminate instead of Collective?)
'providers' => [
...
Collective\Html\HtmlServiceProvider::class,
'aliases' => [
...
'Form' => Collective\Html\FormFacade::class,
'Html' => Collective\Html\HtmlFacade::class,
After i have made these changes i run:
$ composer update
$ php artisan cache:clear
$ php artisan route:clear
However, this still gives med the error:
Fatal error: Class 'Form' not found (View: /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/myProject/resources/views/register.blade.php)
Any ideas?
My files are setup as this

Within Laravel versions < 5.0 FormFacade is already within your app/config/app.php but in Laravel versions > 5 you need to manually place the third party Facades like as
Begin by installing this package through Composer. Edit your project's composer.json file to require laravelcollective/html.
"require": {
"laravelcollective/html": "~5.0"
}
Next, update Composer from the Terminal:
composer update
Next, add your new provider to the providers array of config/app.php:
'providers' => [
// ...
'Collective\Html\HtmlServiceProvider',
// ...
],
Finally, add two class aliases to the aliases array of config/app.php:
'aliases' => [
// ...
'Form' => 'Collective\Html\FormFacade',
'Html' => 'Collective\Html\HtmlFacade',
// ...
],
