Laravel: returning a view from a controller

I am trying to find out how to use Laravel 5, but I am facing a problem. So far I've created the following code:

under app/HTTP/routes.php

:

<?php

Route::get('/', 'MyController@home');

Created my own MyController.php

file in app\Http\Controllers

and added the following code to the controller:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Routing\Controller as BaseController;

class MyController extends BaseController
{
    public function home()
    {
        $name = "John Doe";
        return View::make("index")->with("name", $name);
    }
}

When I run the application, I get the error:

FatalErrorException in MyController.php line 12:
Class 'App\Http\Controllers\View' not found

What am I doing wrong?

Edit

return View::make("index")->with("name", $name);

For

return \View::make("index")->with("name", $name);

or even better

return view("index",compact('name'));

UPDATE

View

- Facade

is a wrapper class and view()

is a helper function that returns an instance View

.
