Fzaninotto Faker Install package - php

Question

Can you help me with this error in laravel? I ran php artisan db:seed --class=UserTableSeeder and got:
PHP Fatal error:
Class 'Faker\Factory' not found in /Users/I/Laravel/authapp/app/database/seeds
/UserTableSeeder.php on line 7
{
"error":{
"type":"Symfony\\Component\\Debug\\Exception \\FatalErrorException",
"message":"Class 'Faker\\Factory' not found",
"file":"\/Users /I\/Laravel\/authapp\/app\/database\/seeds\/UserTableSeeder.php",
"line":7
}
}
My UserTableSeeder.php
<?php
class UserTableSeeder extends Seeder
{
public function run()
{
$faker = Faker\Factory::create();
User::truncate();
foreach(range(1,30) as $index)
{
User::create([
'username' => str_replace('.', '_', $faker->unique()->userName),
'email' => $faker->email,
'password' => 'password',
]);
}
}
}
My composer.json
{
"name": "laravel/laravel",
"description": "The Laravel Framework.",
"keywords": ["framework", "laravel"],
"license": "MIT",
"require": {
"laravel/framework": "4.2.*",

},
"autoload": {
"classmap": [
"app/commands",
"app/controllers",
"app/models",
"app/database/migrations",

]
},
"scripts": {
"post-install-cmd": [

],
"post-update-cmd": [

},
"config": {
"preferred-install": "dist"
},
"minimum-stability": "stable",
"require-dev": {
"fzaninotto/faker": "1.3.*#dev"
},
}
After adding the comma, I still get the same error and If I try to include it using autoload from github it also does not work. Where could I look for the error?
I still get the same error. I am scared that it is not loading the Fzniotto Faker Package. What can I do? If I try to include the package by downlaoding it, I get

Answer 1

Yup, you forgot a comma
"require": {
"laravel/framework": "4.2.*",
"fzaninotto/faker": "1.3.*#dev"
},
then run composer update

I still get the same error. I am scared that it is not loading the Fzniotto Faker Package. What can I do?
In your shell, try running php artisan dump-autoload.
Run composer update, you are however missing a comma in your composer.json;
"require": {
"laravel/framework": "4.2.*"
"fzaninotto/faker": "1.3.*#dev"
}
Should be;
"require": {
"laravel/framework": "4.2.*",
"fzaninotto/faker": "1.3.*#dev"
}
If you already have the dependency and copied the code wrong try running composer dump-autoload.

However, I now no longer get an error, but I also do not get any users in my table. It seems to be simply not working, eg. the table is not created and filled with lorem ipsum users. What can I do?
Have you created your users table?
If not you need to;
Run php artisan migrate:make create_users_table.
In your app/database/migrations folder you will find your new migration file.
Build your migration (http://laravel.com/docs/4.2/schema).
Run php artisan migrate.
Run php artisan db:seed.
