How to implement Abstract class in laravel 5 - php

Question

in App/Abstracts/ folder I have following file
1.Transformer.php
<?php
namespace App\Abstracts;
use eventsTransformer;
abstract class Transformer
{
public function transformCollection(array $item)
{
return array_map([$this ,'transform'],$item->toArray());
}
public abstract function transform($event);
}
2.eventsTransformer
<?php
namespace App\Abstracts;
class EventTransformer extends Transformer
{
public function transform($event)
{
return [
'event'=> $event['event'],
'date' => $event['date'],
'e_code'=> $event['eventcode'],
'country'=> $event['country'],
'city'=> $event['city']
];
}
}
Now In my Controller I am using them like this
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Routing\ResponseFactory;
use App\Abstracts\eventsTransformer;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Http\Response;
use App\Http\Requests;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use App\Event;
class EventsapiController extends Controller
{
/**
* Display a listing of the resource.
*
* #return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
//use EventTransformer;
protected $eventTransformer;
public function __construct(EventTransformer $EventTransformer){
$this->$eventTransformer = $EventTransformer; // replace 'collector' with whatever role you need.
}
public function index()
{
//
$events = Event::All();
$response = array();
return response()->json([
'data'=>$this->eventTransformer->transform($events)
],200);
//return $response['data']=$events;
}
/**
* Show the form for creating a new resource.
*
* #return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function create()
{
//
}
/**
* Store a newly created resource in storage.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* #return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function store(Request $request)
{
//
}
/**
* Display the specified resource.
*
* #param int $id
* #return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function show($id)
{
//
$event = Event::find($id);
if(!$event)
{
return response()->json([
'error'=> 'Event does not exist',
'code' => 'e101'
],404);
}
return response()->json([
'data'=>$event->toArray()
],200);
}
/**
* Show the form for editing the specified resource.
*
* #param int $id
* #return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function edit($id)
{
//
}
/**
* Update the specified resource in storage.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* #param int $id
* #return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function update(Request $request, $id)
{
//
}
/**
* Remove the specified resource from storage.
*
* #param int $id
* #return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function destroy($id)
{
//
}
}
I am getting following error
ReflectionException in Container.php line 790: Class App\Http\Controllers\EventTransformer does not exist
Can any one help me out with this

Answer 1

You are getting this error because you misspelled namespace.
Instead of:
use App\Abstracts\eventsTransformer;
you should use:
use App\Abstracts\EventTransformer;
in your EventsapiController
