Class “hash” not found

Question

I am trying to hash my password before inserting it into my table using a laravel seed. Every time I run php artisan db:seed --class=users I get the error "Class 'hash' not found"

Here is my class:

 class users extends Seeder {

    public function run()
    {

       User::create(array(
           'email' => '********',
           'password' => hash::make('********')
       ));
       $this->command->info('User table seeded!');
    }

 }

Let me know if there is any more information that you need. Thanks!

You have to use Hash::make(), because the case matters. In common it's a good practise to use some coding guidelines to prevent errors of this sort. In your case, you should write every classname in upper camelcase

class Users extends Seeder {

    public function run()
    {

       User::create(array(
           'email' => '********',
           'password' => Hash::make('********')
       ));
       $this->command->info('User table seeded!');
    }

 }
