 The last step for Laravel Framework upgrade from older version 7.x to 8.x
Now we are going to run the composer update command so we can install these new dependencies.

composer update
This is it. This command will upgrade your project to latest laravel 8 framework.

Now additionally one more thing I am updating here is the pagination upgrade because the old one with the 7th version is no longer going to work with the 8th version and the pagination number will not visible.

Pagination Changes
So for the pagination implementation you just need to add this class in you controller file.

use Illuminate\Pagination\Paginator;
and call this method inside your controllers function.

Paginator::useBootstrap();

"require": {
    "php": "^7.3|^8.0",
    .....
},
