How to solve conflicts with your root composer.json require?

Question

When I want to composer install filament/forms using composer require filament/forms:"^2.0" on a fresh Laravel 9 installation I get the following error:

./composer.json has been updated
Running composer update filament/forms --with-all-dependencies
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

  Problem 1
    - Root composer.json requires filament/forms 2.0 -> satisfiable by filament/forms[v2.0.0].
    - filament/forms v2.0.0 requires laravel/framework ^8.56 -> found laravel/framework[v8.56.0, ..., 8.x-dev] but it conflicts with your root composer.json require (^9.19).


Installation failed, reverting ./composer.json and ./composer.lock to their original content.

Answer 1

if i were in your this trouble, I'll change it manually.

Method 1: improve "filament/forms" version: Check to see if there is a new version, If they already support higher versions, just composer require hight version

Method 2: change "filament/forms"'s composer.json manually. by this case, filament/forms v2.0.0 can try composer requires "laravel/framework": "^8.56|^9.19". and run to test. if ok, sometimes i will submit PR to the repository. This is often because the author has not updated.

Method 3: fork and depend on your own private repositor. This method is suitable for version conflicts and authors who do not update. for example, fork this "filament/forms" , and change composer.json manually, If there are bugs or other some conflicts, fix them. and then change root(project) composer.json, depend on your own private repository.

I will try to solve the problems in 1-3 order, I hope that will be helpful.

Answer 2

 composer require filament/forms

without the :"^2.0" worked for me.
