I'm trying to get the hang of Laravel 5 and have a question which is probably very simple to solve but I'm struggling.
I have a controller named TestController and it resides in \app\Http\Controllers
This is the controller:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
class TestController extends Controller {
public function test()
{
$diamonds = diamonds::find(1);
var_dump($diamonds);
}
}
Then I have a model I created that resides in /app:
<?php
namespace App;
class diamonds extends Model {
}
Put all other mistakes aside which I'm sure there are, my problem is that laravel throws an error:
FatalErrorException in TestController.php line 10: Class
'App\Http\Controllers\diamonds' not found
So, how do I get the controller to understand I'm pointing to a model and not to a controller?
Thanks in advance...
You have to import your model in the Controller by using namespaces.
E.g.
use App\Customer;
class DashboardController extends Controller {
public function index() {
$customers = Customer::all();
return view('my/customer/template')->with('customers', $customers);
}
}
In your case, you could use the model directly App\diamonds::find(1); or import it first with use App\diamonds; and use it like you already did.
Further, it is recommended to use UpperCamelCase class names. So Diamonds instead of diamonds. You also could use dd() (dump and die) instead of var_dump to see a nicely formatted dump of your variable.
//Your model file
<?php
namespace App\Models;
class diamonds extends Model {
}
// And in your controller
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use App\Models\
class TestController extends Controller {
public function test()
{
$diamonds = diamonds::find(1);
var_dump($diamonds);
}
}
Try adding the following lines above your class decleration in your controller file...
use App\Diamonds;
use App\Http\Requests;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
(this assumes your model file is called Diamonds.php)
Ultimately, there were a few issues here and all of you helped, however I was missing the following on the model page:
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

I am getting really confused on how namespace and use are being used here to reference my CategoryController. I am using laravel 8. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
My route uses resource and that seems to be ok.
web.php:
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Admin\Category;
Route::get('/admin/categories', [CategoryController::class, 'category'])->name('categories');
My Category Controller is App\Http\Controllers\Admin\Category\CategoryController.php as shown here is my folder structure:
CategoryController.php:
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class CategoryController extends Controller
{
public function __construct()
{
$this->middleware('auth:admin');
}
public function category(){
echo "Hello Category";
}
}
Your namespaces should mimic your directory structure. So if you have a CategoryController.php file that resides in the folder app/Http/Controllers/Admin/Category, then the namespace for that file would be namespace App\Http\Controllers\Admin\Category;
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Admin\Category;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
class CategoryController extends Controller
{
// stuff
}
When referencing classes, you include the relevant namespace with the use statement.
So in your web.php file you want to replace:
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Admin\Category;
with:
use App\Http\Controllers\Admin\Category\CategoryController;
I am trying to extend the package controller in my base laravel controller. Tried importing class using below code which shows error as class not found.
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Admin;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use App\Http\Controllers\ProductController as ControllersProductController;
use App\Imports\ProductsImport;
use AvoRed\Framework\AvoRedProvider;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Redirect;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Session;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Validator;
use Maatwebsite\Excel\Facades\Excel;
use Avored\Framework\Catalog\Controllers\ProductController;
class ProductControllers extends Controller
{
private $avored_product;
public function __construct(ProductController $p) {
$this->avored_product = $p;
}
public function index() {
echo $this->avored_product;
}
Tried multiple options by researching on it couldn't find the same. Request all to please guide me with same.
Could you share with us the exact error message? From your code snippet I can't see which class couldn't be found.
And which Avored package are you referring to? I guess avored-laravel-ecommerce?
If you want to extend the ProductController-from the package, you have properly extend from that controller.
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Admin;
use Avored\Framework\Catalog\Controllers\ProductController as AvoredProductController;
class ProductControllers extends AvoredProductController
{
public function index() {
// Do your thing in here
}
}
You can now override the controller methods to your liking.
I am using laravel-5.7. i am making multi auth system I'm getting the following error
Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalThrowableError Class '\App\Admin' not found
Suppose you have Model class called Admin in the App folder, then you are calling it somewhere in the controller.
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Admin extends Model
{
//
}
Your controller will be
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use App\Admin;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class YourController extends Controller
{
//Your code goes here
}
The answer is in the error that you get. You either don't have a class in your app directory named Admin or you don't have the namespace on top of your class.
<?php namespace App;
class Admin
{
}
or if your error is in a different class then you need to import it on top.
...
use PATH_TO_THE_ADMIN;
class YourClass {}
Most of the times when your class is not found, is basically as a result of not importing your namespace or typo error. so checke the two before anything else
Using Laravel 5.4, I am getting this error on view whenever I call my method it shows on screen
(1/1) FatalThrowableError
Class 'App\Models\Chat\User' not found
Hierarchy of my project :
Controllers
- ChatMessageController
Models
-Chat
-message.php
-User.php
and here's my controller class code :
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Chat;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use App\Models\Chat\Message;
use App\Models\User;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class ChatMessageController extends Controller
{
public function index()
{
$messages = message::with(['user'])->latest()->limit(100)->get();
return response()->json($messages,200);
}
}
In message.php, probably you forgot to add: use App\Models\User;.
So, it is trying to find User in the wrong space.
I using Laravel, I have a Model class under App/Models
<?php
namespace App\Models;
class TodoList extends \Eloquent{
public function listItems(){
return $this->hasMany('TodoItem');
}
}
In my Controller I have included the namespace as follows:
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
...
use App\Models\TodoItem;
use App\Models\TodoList;
class TodoListController extends Controller
My method looks like this:
public function show($id)
{
$list=TodoList::findOrFail($id);
return \View::make('todos.show')->with('list', $todo_list);
}
but when I call to a request i get the error:
FatalErrorException in TodoListController.php line 75: Class
'App\Models\TodoList' not found
Trying running composer dump-autoload. Basically your classes become cached so you need to tell Laravel to look for newly added classes.
I'm not sure, just try this :
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model as Eloquent;
class TodoList extends Eloquent{
public function listItems(){
return $this->hasMany('TodoItem');
}
}
Here is the code from the docs, but for your example. Note the use Model:
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class TodoList extends Model {
//insert public function listItems() here
}
Hope this is helpful!
Make sure the file is in the correct folder and has the same name caption as the Class you want to import.
If the caption of the file "TodoList" is not TodoList.php but Todolist.php for example, Laravel wont find it.
Depending on your setup running "composer dump" might help to refresh autoload files.
