Laravel : BadMethodCallException Method [store] does not exist - php

Question

I just downloaded and started a new project with the latest Laravel 4.2. When trying to submit a form I get the following error : BadMethodCallException Method [store] does not exist
Here are my files : controller - admin/AdminController
<?php
namespace admin;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\View;
use App\Services\Validators\ArticleValidator;
use Input, Notification, Redirect, Sentry, Str;
class AdminController extends \BaseController {
public function index() {
if (Input::has('Login')) {
$rules = array(
'email' => 'required',
'password' => 'required|min:3',
'email' => 'required|email|unique:users'
);
$validator = Validator::make(Input::all(), $rules);
if ($validator->fails()) {
return Redirect::to('admin\AdminController')->withErrors($validator);
} else {
// redirect
Session::flash('message', 'Successfully created user!');
return Redirect::to('admin\AdminController');
}
}
$data['title'] = ADMIN;
return View::make('admin.index', $data);
}
}
View page - admin/index.blade.php
<div class="container">
{{ Form::open(array('url' => ADMIN,'id' => 'login')) }}
<div id="icdev-login-wrap">
<div class="raw align-center logoadmin">{{ HTML::image('images/logo.png') }}</div>
<div id="icdev-login">
<h3>Welcome, Please Login</h3>
<div class="mar2_bttm input-group-lg"><input type="text" class="form-control loginput" placeholder="Email" name="email"></div>
<div class="mar2_bttm input-group-lg"><input type="password" class="form-control loginput" placeholder="Password" name="password"></div>
<div ><input type="submit" class="btn btn-default btn-lg btn-block cus-log-in" value="Login" /></div>
<div class="row align-center forgotfix">
<input type="hidden" name="Login" value="1">
</div>
</div>
<div>
</div>
</div>
{{ Form::close() }}
</div>

Answer 1

The error message tells you what the problem is: the method called store() doesn’t exist. Add it to your controller:
<?php
namespace admin;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\View;
use App\Services\Validators\ArticleValidator;
use Input, Notification, Redirect, Sentry, Str;
class AdminController extends \BaseController {
public function index()
{
// leave code as is
}
public function store()
{
// this is your NEW store method
// put logic here to save the record to the database
}
}
A couple of points:
Use camel-casing for name spaces (i.e. namespace admin should be namespace Admin)
Read the Laravel documentation on resource controllers: http://laravel.com/docs/controllers#resource-controllers
You can also automatically generate resource controllers with an Artisan command. Run $ php artisan make:controller ItemController, replacing ItemController with the name of the controller, i.e. ArticleController or UserController.
