Does it mean this package no longer works with Laravel? What does this dump mean?

Is there a workaround?

Is there another package or should I just write HTML forms manually?

Here is my composer.json:

    "name": "laravel/laravel",
    "type": "project",

}

You have the laravel framework required as version 6.7 in your composer file, update that to 7.x — Alec Joy, Apr 07 '20 at 18:14
Yes you have it installed at 7.4 but your composer.json file is *requiring* it at 6.7. This, not anything to do with Collective HTML (which works with 7) is causing your problem. Composer is trying to downgrade to 6.7 because thats what your composer.json file is telling it to do, but can't because facade/ignition requires 7.x, and it can't resolve that conflict. Change the laravel/framework line in composer.json to "^7.0" and run composer update, then try to install collective/html — Alec Joy, Apr 07 '20 at 18:29

Add this line of code to your composer.json require {"laravelcollective/html": "^6.2",}

i.e for version 7 of laravel and run

composer install or composer update.

You should be good to go.
