Announce' not found

[maryglo]

When I tried to use
Announce::broadcast('hello', 'this is just a test', 'info', '30000', 'fade'); inside a function on my Controller, there's an error that says Symfony \ Component \ Debug \ Exception \ FatalThrowableError (E_ERROR)
Class 'App\Http\Controllers\Announce' not found even if I already include the namespace
use LaravelHungary\Announcement;

Could you please post a semi-detailed instruction on how to use the classes included on your module?

Thank you so much.

You have to include it in the aliases (within your app.php).

'aliases' => [
    ...

    'Announce' => LaravelHungary\Announcement\Facades\Announce::class,
...
]

If you already did, you have to use Announce; before your class opener.

<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;

[...]
use Announce;

class HomeController [...]

Or simply just use it like: \Announce::broadcast() (but still you need it to be included in the app.php)

Thank you so much for the reply hocza.

I have another question, what do you think is the problem when I include {!! Announce::display() !!} on my template, an error occured, No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. [tcp://127.0.0.1:6379]

Thank you so much.

Oh well the package is using Redis... it is bound to redis to be more correct. :)

You should have a redis server up and running.

On macOS simply type brew install redis or on ubuntu: apt install redis
