Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class "Illuminate\Support\Facades\RateLimiter

I followed the steps here to install Laravel and wanted to play around with the RateLimiter.

But when I try the code from the basic usage example on my local installation, it keeps showing 'Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class "Illuminate\Support\Facades\RateLimiter" not found'.

It's probably easy to fix, but I'm quiet new to Laravel, and Google searches didn't help me fix this problem. So maybe someone here who can point me in the right direction how to fix this?

Thanks :)

The error message "Class 'Illuminate\Support\Facades\RateLimiter' not found" suggests that the RateLimiter facade is not being properly loaded. This could be due to a few different issues, such as a missing dependency or an incorrect namespace.

Here are a few steps you can try to resolve the issue:

Make sure that you have installed the necessary dependencies for rate limiting. In Laravel 8 and above, this includes the illuminate/rate-limiter package. You can install this package using Composer:

composer require illuminate/rate-limiter

Check that the RateLimiter facade is properly aliased in your config/app.php file. The alias should look like this:

'RateLimiter' => Illuminate\Support\Facades\RateLimiter::class,

Make sure that you have imported the RateLimiter facade at the top of your file:

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\RateLimiter;

If you are still having issues, try clearing your application cache:

php artisan cache:clear

Finally, try running composer dump-autoload to regenerate the autoload files.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, it may be helpful to provide more information about your Laravel installation and the code you are trying to run.

When I try #1 I get this error.

Could not find a matching version of package illuminate/rate-limiter. Check the package spelling, your version constraint and that the package is available in a stability which matches your minimum-stability (stable).

I also don't see that package listed here

#2 ''RateLimiter' => Illuminate\Support\Facades\RateLimiter::class,' was missing from the config/app.php, but it makes no difference.

Also tried all the other things, but nothing changes.
