so im new to laravel, just downloaded composer, created new project through terminal in vscode, tried to run it and this error shows up

Error in localhost>public

The Code:

require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php'; 

and also getting errors while compiling on these:

$response = $kernel->handle(
$request = Request::capture()   //Undefined type 'Illuminate\Http\Request'//
)->send();

the illuminate code:

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

Help would be appreciated

You should have following code for autoload.php. Basically, you're trying to look for vendor directory in the public folder, whereas it is normally placed in the base directory

require __DIR__.'/../vendor/autoload.php';

Did you try running a composer update command?
