Laravel 5 repository injection - php

Question

I'm quite new in Laravel 5, what I am trying to do is a simple repository with dependency injection. But I'm stuck with this error:
Argument 1 passed to
App\Http\Controllers\Api\UserController::__construct() must implement
interface App\Repositories\UserInterface, instance of
App\Repositories\UserRepository given
Here is my code:
UserController:
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Api;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Response;
use App;
use Auth;
use Crypt;
use Lang;
use Image;
use Storage;
use Config;
use Validator;
use App\User;
use App\Repositories\UserInterface;
class UserController extends Controller
{
protected $config;
protected $users;
public function __construct(UserInterface $users)
{
$this->middleware('api');
$this->middleware('auth', ['except' => 'getInfo']);
$this->users = $users;
$this->config = Config::get('images.avatar');
}
UserInterface:
namespace App\Repositories;
use App\Repositories\BaseInterface;
interface UserInterface extends BaseInterface
{
};
BaseInterface:
namespace App\Repositories;
interface BaseInterface
{
public function all();
public function paginate($count);
public function find($id);
}
BaseRepository
namespace App\Repositories;
use App\Repositories\BaseInterface;
class BaseRepository implements BaseInterface
{
protected $model;
public function __call($name, $args)
{
// $this->getNewInstance()->{$name($args)};
return call_user_func_array([
$this->getNewInstance(),
$method], $args);
}
public function all($relations = [])
{
$instance = $this->getNewInstance();
return $instance->with($relations)->all();
}
public function find($id, $relations = [])
{
$instance = $this->getNewInstance();
return $instance->with($relations)->find($id);
}
public function findOrFail($id, $relations = [])
{
$instance = $this->getNewInstance();
return $instance->with($relations)->findOrFail($id);
}
public function paginate($count)
{
}
protected function getNewInstance()
{
return new $this->model;
}
}
UserRepository
namespace App\Repositories;
use App\Repositories\BaseRepository;
Class UserRepository extends BaseRepository
{
protected $model = 'App\User';
}
RepositoryServiceProvider
namespace App\Providers;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
use App;
class RepositoryServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
/**
* Register any error handlers.
*
* #return void
*/
public function boot()
{
}
/**
* Register the service provider.
*
* #return void
*/
public function register()
{
//
App::bind('App\Repositories\UserInterface', 'App\Repositories\UserRepository');
}
}
Of course RepositoryServiceProvider is added under service providers in my config/app.php
Please help, I'm almost sure that I've tried everything whatever I found in Google.

Answer 1

Your UserRepository has to implement UserInterface:
namespace App\Repositories;
use App\Repositories\BaseRepository;
class UserRepository extends BaseRepository implements UserInterface
// ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
{
protected $model = 'App\User';
}
