Class ContactsTableSeeder does not exist

use Illuminate\Database\Seeder; use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

//below is the contacts seeder file. It is already located in the same folder as the dbseeder. I already tried composer dump-autoload

use Illuminate\Database\Seeder; use App\contacts;

class ContactsTable extends Seeder { /** * Run the database seeds. * * @return void */ public function run() { //create faker data for tables $faker = Faker\Factory::create();

    for($i = 0; $i <= 10; $i++)

        //populating data in the column names
