My composer.json does not install new dependencies using composer update command

I am installing external dependencies using composer update command. The following is the section of the composer.json file in c:\xampp\htdocs\myproject\vendor\laravel\framework\ directory.

"require": {
        "laravelcollective/html": "~5.0",
        "matriphe/imageupload": "5.1.*"
        "illuminate/html": "5.0.*@dev"
},

I am getting the following results after running the composer update command:

Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
Nothing to install or update
Writing lock file
Generating autoload files

I have also tried to create another require array in the composer.json and added the packages I want to install with no success.

The composer update command could not install any unstalled dependency using the composer update command. Even composer self-update did not solve the problem. Kindly assist me, I have been stuck here for some days now trying all I would do but without success.

I am changing the composer.json under the following directory: c:\xampp\htdocs\myproject\vendor\laravel\framework\ Is this ok?

You missed column after "matriphe/imageupload": "5.1.*", try to change it:

"require": {
        "laravelcollective/html": "~5.0",
        "matriphe/imageupload": "5.1.*",
        "illuminate/html": "5.0.*@dev"
}

Don't change any files inside the vendor directory, they are managed by Composer. To install further packages use the composer.json in your project's directory.

And use composer install to install new packages as composer update will update already installed packages to newer versions (if available) too.

composer self-update just updates Composer itself.
