Saving request to database - php

Question

I want to save a request from my laravel 5.2 app a form into my database:
When I submit the request with the word testdy I get an exception:
FatalThrowableError in KeywordController.php line 49: Class
'App\Keyword' not found
Line 49 in my controller is when I want to built my model: $keyword = new Keyword($request);
Below you can find the code of the KeywordController:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use App\Keyword;
use App\Http\Requests\KeywordRequest;
use Response;
use Sentinel;
class KeywordController extends JoshController
{
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
}
/**
* Display a listing of the resource.
*
* #return Response
*/
public function index()
{
// Grab all the Keywords
// $Keywords = Keyword::all();
// Show the page
return View('admin.keyword.index'); //, compact('Keywords'));
}
public function create()
{
// $Keywordcategory = KeywordCategory::lists('title', 'id');
return view('admin.keyword.create'); //, compact('Keywordcategory'));
}
public function store(KeywordRequest $request)
{
//dd($request);
$keyword = new Keyword($request); //line 49 of my controller
$keyword->user_id = Sentinel::getUser()->id;
$keyword->save();
if ($keyword->id) {
return redirect('admin/keyword')->with('success', trans('Keyword/message.success.create'));
} else {
return Redirect::route('admin/keyword')->withInput()->with('error', trans('Keyword/message.error.create'));
}
}
public function show(Keyword $keyword)
{
$comments = Keyword::all();
return view('admin.keyword.show', compact('Keyword', 'comments', 'tags'));
}
public function edit(Keyword $keyword)
{
$Keywordcategory = KeywordCategory::lists('title', 'id');
return view('admin.keyword.edit', compact('Keyword', 'Keywordcategory'));
}
public function update(KeywordRequest $request, Keyword $Keyword)
{
if ($request->hasFile('image')) {
$file = $request->file('image');
$filename = $file->getClientOriginalName();
$extension = $file->getClientOriginalExtension() ?: 'png';
$folderName = '/uploads/Keyword/';
$picture = str_random(10).'.'.$extension;
$Keyword->image = $picture;
}
if ($request->hasFile('image')) {
$destinationPath = public_path().$folderName;
$request->file('image')->move($destinationPath, $picture);
}
$Keyword->retag($request['tags']);
if ($Keyword->update($request->except('image', '_method', 'tags'))) {
return redirect('admin/keyword')->with('success', trans('Keyword/message.success.update'));
} else {
return Redirect::route('admin/keyword')->withInput()->with('error', trans('Keyword/message.error.update'));
}
}
public function getModalDelete(Keyword $Keyword)
{
$model = 'Keyword';
$confirm_route = $error = null;
try {
$confirm_route = route('delete/Keyword', ['id' => $Keyword->id]);
return View('admin/layouts/modal_confirmation', compact('error', 'model', 'confirm_route'));
} catch (GroupNotFoundException $e) {
$error = trans('Keyword/message.error.delete', compact('id'));
return View('admin/layouts/modal_confirmation', compact('error', 'model', 'confirm_route'));
}
}
public function destroy(Keyword $Keyword)
{
if ($Keyword->delete()) {
return redirect('admin/keyword')->with('success', trans('Keyword/message.success.delete'));
} else {
return Redirect::route('admin/keyword')->withInput()->with('error', trans('Keyword/message.error.delete'));
}
}
}

The "keyword" => "tesdy" parameter has the same name in the database.
Any suggestions why $keyword = new Keyword($request); throws an exception?
I appreciate your replies!
Update
My app/Keyword.php file looks like the following:
<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Keywords extends Model
{
protected $table = 'keywords';
protected $guarded = ['id'];
}

Answer 1

Model name should be Keyword, change it and this will solve the problem:
class Keyword extends Model

Answer 2

Just change the class name to Keyword from Keywords in your app/Keyword.php. The class name should equals to its file name.
