Wrong instance passed in Laravel DB post request - php

Question

So I am working on a page in Laravel that generates invite codes upon email submission. I have run into this issue, every time when I enter my email into the form, it is supposed to generate an invite code an input it into my DB then redirect me. Instead I get this error code:
Argument 1 passed to myapp\Repositories\Invite\EloquentInviteRepository::__construct()
must be an instance of Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model, instance of
Illuminate\Foundation\Application given, called in /var/www/laravel/bootstrap/compiled.php
on line 4259 and defined
This is my EloquentInviteRepository.php file, apparently line 21 is the line in error:
<?php namespace myapp\Repositories\Invite;
use myapp\Repositories\Crudable;
use Illuminate\Support\MessageBag;
use myapp\Repositories\Repository;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use myapp\Repositories\AbstractRepository;
class EloquentInviteRepository extends AbstractRepository implements Repository, Crudable, InviteRepository {
/**
* #var Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model
*/
protected $model;
/**
* Construct
*
* #param Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model $user
*/
public function __construct(Model $model)
{
parent::__construct(new MessageBag);
$this->model = $model;
}
/**
* Find a valid invite by a code
*
* #param string $code
* #return Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model
*/
public function getValidInviteByCode($code)
{
return $this->model->where('code', '=', $code)
->where('claimed_at', '=', null)
->first();
}
/**
* Create
*
* #param array $data
* #return Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model
*/
public function create(array $data)
{
$data['code'] = bin2hex(openssl_random_pseudo_bytes(16));
return $this->model->create($data);
}
/**
* Update
*
* #param array $data
* #return Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model
*/
public function update(array $data){}
/**
* Delete
*
* #param int $id
* #return boolean
*/
public function delete($id){}
}
In case anyone was curious; the __construct() interface from Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model.php:
/**
* Create a new Eloquent model instance.
*
* #param array $attributes
* #return void
*/
public function __construct(array $attributes = array())
{
$this->bootIfNotBooted();
$this->syncOriginal();
$this->fill($attributes);
}
and Illuminate\Foundation\Application.php:
/**
* Create a new Illuminate application instance.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* #return void
*/
public function __construct(Request $request = null)
{
$this->registerBaseBindings($request ?: $this->createNewRequest());
$this->registerBaseServiceProviders();
$this->registerBaseMiddlewares();
}
In case these help in debugging the issue!
As per request I have included my controller element used during the post function, this is the part that seems to activate the repository and prompt the error:
<?php
use myapp\Repositories\Invite\InviteRepository;
class InviteController extends BaseController {
/**
* InviteRepository
*
* #var myapp\Repositories\Invite\InviteRepository
*/
protected $repository;
/**
* Create a new instance of the InviteController
*
* #param myapp\Repositories\Invite\InviteRepository
*/
public function __construct(InviteRepository $repository)
{
$this->repository = $repository;
}
/**
* Create a new invite
*
* #return Response
*/
public function store()
{
$invite = $this->repository->create(Input::all());
}
}
RepositoryServiceProvider.php
<?php namespace myapp\Repositories;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
class RepositoryServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider {
/**
* Register
*/
public function register()
{
$this->registerInviteRepository();
}
/**
* Register the Invite Repository
*
* #return void
*/
public function registerInviteRepository()
{
$this->app->bind('myapp\Repositories\Invite\InviteRepository', function($app)
{
return new EloquentInviteRepository( new Invite );
});
}
}
Any idea's as to what I am missing?
Thanks for the help guys,
You've been a great resource so far!

In the file RepositoryServiceProvider.php, replace this
$this->app->bind('myapp\Repositories\Invite\InviteRepository', function($app)
{
return new EloquentInviteRepository( new Invite );
});
With this:
$this->app->bind('myapp\Repositories\Invite\InviteRepository',
'myapp\Repositories\Invite\EloquentInviteRepository');
