How to resolve a controller with make parameter in laravel 5? - php

Question

Previously I could do something like this:
/var/www/laravel/app/Http/Controllers/HelloController.php
<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use App\Models\Hello\Hello as Hello;
class HelloController extends Controller {
public function index() {
$o = new Hello;
$o = new Hello('changed1','changed1');
var_dump($o);
}
}
/var/www/laravel/app/Models/Hello
<?php namespace App\Models\Hello;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model\Hello.php;
class Hello extends Model
{
public function __construct($one='default1', $two='default2')
{
echo "First Param: $one","\n<br>\n";
echo "Second Param: $two","\n<br>\n";
echo "\n<br>\n";
}
}
routes.php
Route::get('tutorial', function() {
$app = app();
$app->make('Hello');
});
Instantiating without make works, but this now brings an error:
ReflectionException in Container.php line 776: Class Hello does not exist
What do you think I am missing in here?

Answer 1

Because your class has a namespace of App\Models\Hello, you must use the namespace of it when trying to instantiate the class. Therefore, your code should be like this:
Route::get('tutorial', function() {
$app = app();
$app->make('App\Models\Hello\Hello');
});
To expand a bit in the answer, you can remove the make() method call and just use the app() helper, and you'll end up with the same result:
Route::get('tutorial', function() {
$app = app();
$app->make('App\Models\Hello\Hello');
// you can achieve the same with the
// `app()` helper using less characters :)
app('App\Models\Hello\Hello');
});
