php - Using Faker in Laravel 5.0 returns 'Class User not found'

Solution:

I think this problem is due to class mapping issue. Run the following command from your command line

php artisan dump-autoload
Copy code

If this does not work then Alternatively you can use namespace for your models. To this just define namespace in your User Modal

namespace Models;
Copy code

To use This class just put the following line in your code

use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;
use Models\User;

class UsersTableSeeder extends Seeder {

public function run()
{
 $faker = Faker\Factory::create();

 for ($i = 0; $i < 50; $i++)
 {
     $user = User::create(array(
        'name' => $faker->userName,
        'email' => $faker->email,
        'password' => $faker->word,
        'verified' => $faker-numberBetween($min = 0, $max = 1)
    ));
 }
}
Copy code

}
