ReflectionException in RouteDependencyResolverTrait.php error in creating request validation - Laravel - php

Question

I have some problems with my code. I am following the tutorial in Laravel 5. I am doing the form validation but I got this error and I don't know how did it happened. I am new to Laravel.
I am creating the article sample.
Here's my controller:
<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use App\Article;
use App\Http\Requests;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
//use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Carbon\Carbon;
//use Request;
class ArticlesController extends Controller {
public function index() {
//$articles = Article::all();
//$articles = Article::latest('published_at')->where('published_at', '<=', Carbon::now())->get();
/** select * from articles where published_at <= now() order by published_at desc */
$articles = Article::latest('published_at')->published()->get();
return view('articles.index', compact('articles'));
}
public function show($id) {
$article = Article::findOrFail($id);
//dd($article->published_at);
return view('articles.show', compact('article'));
}
public function create() {
return view('articles.create');
}
public function store(CreateArticleRequest $request) {
//$input = Request::all();
//$input['published_at'] = Carbon::now();
//$title = Request::get('title');
Article::create($request->all());
return redirect('articles');
}
}
Here's my Request
<?php namespace App\Http\Requests;
use App\Http\Requests\Request;
class CreateArticleRequest extends Request {
/**
* Determine if the user is authorized to make this request.
*
* #return bool
*/
public function authorize()
{
return true; //permissions
}
/**
* Get the validation rules that apply to the request.
*
* #return array
*/
public function rules()
{
return [
'title' => 'required|min:3',
'body' => 'required',
'published_at' => 'required|date'
];
}
}
My Route:
<?php
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Application Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register all of the routes for an application.
| It's a breeze. Simply tell Laravel the URIs it should respond to
| and give it the controller to call when that URI is requested.
|
*/
Route::get('/', 'WelcomeController#index');
Route::get('home', 'HomeController#index');
Route::controllers([
'auth' => 'Auth\AuthController',
'password' => 'Auth\PasswordController',
]);
Route::get('articles','ArticlesController#index');
Route::get('articles/create','ArticlesController#create');
Route::get('articles/{id}','ArticlesController#show');
Route::post('articles','ArticlesController#store');
When I checked it doesn't allow me to insert in the database.

Answer 1

It is throwing ReflectionException because you are using wrong class. You should use App\Http\Requests\CreateArticleRequest instead of App\Http\Requests in ArticlesController

Answer 2

You have to include the CreateArticleRequest you are using in the controller file which is using it
Add this line after use Carbon\Carbon;
use App\Http\Requests\CreateArticleRequest;
It will include your request file in the controller
