[L5] Input, HTML, Form facades etc

Use {!! !!} instead of {{ }}.

Done that too, sorry forgot to mention that.

I can login but then I get:

FatalErrorException in LoginController.php line 12: Class 'Trax\Http\Controllers\Input' not found

    in LoginController.php line 12
    at HandleExceptions->fatalExceptionFromError(array('type' => '1', 'message' => 'Class 'Trax\Http\Controllers\Input' not found', 'file' => '/home/vagrant/code/trax/app/Http/Controllers/LoginController.php', 'line' => '12')) in HandleExceptions.php line 116
    at HandleExceptions->handleShutdown()

Add this to the composer.json file and run composer update.

"illuminate/html": "4.3.*

register the ServiceProvider

'Illuminate\Html\HtmlServiceProvider'

add the facades

'Form'=> 'Illuminate\Html\FormFacade',
'HTML'=> 'Illuminate\Html\HtmlFacade'

and it should work just fine.

Also @MThomas i believe TO changed the escape method.

@lstables

add this to your LoginController

use Input;

Yep that seems to have worked! I'm now logged in so I guess I just have to use "old" stuff

Whenever you use "Redirect, Input, Validator", you need to import it.

Namespace does that ^ :)

@bashy it is namespaced, but not having the "use" statements doesn't work

<?php namespace Trax\Http\Controllers;

use Input;
use Auth;
use Redirect;

class LoginController extends Controller {

    public function login()
    {
        return view('login');
    }

    public function authenticate()
    {
        $username = Input::get('username');
        $password = Input::get('password');

        if (Auth::attempt(array('username' => $username, 'password' => $password, 'status' => 'Active'), false)) {
            return Redirect::intended('dashboard')->with('flash_success', 'You are now logged in.');
        }
        else {
            return Redirect::to('/')
                ->with('flash_error', 'The details you entered where incorrect.<br />Please check and try again')
                ->withInput();
        }
    }

    public function dashboard()
    {
        return view('dashboard');
    }

}

You must import them, also you can replace that line with

use Input, Auth, Redirect;

So namespacing doesn't import, or is there a better way to do this, still new to L5 and not really played with it until now and really want to use it on this new project I have got, specially for method injection.

Also I copied the .env.example file and named it .env.local.php with the following inside it

APP_ENV=local
APP_DEBUG=true
APP_KEY=SomeRandomString

DB_HOST=localhost
DB_DATABASE=erp
DB_USERNAME=homestead
DB_PASSWORD=secret

And this didn't get picked up and was still showing as production when I did php artisan env

@lstables First question, i believe there's no other way to do it, this is how namespacing works.

Second question, rename your file to .env.local without .php extension.

I don't mind/have no issue doing "use" if that's how its to be so that's fine. Has for .env files will that be .env.local and .env.production respectively?

Reason I ask i have no changed to .env.local and when I php artisan env it still states "production"

Weird issue, what's your .env.local file contents?

APP_ENV=local
APP_DEBUG=true
APP_KEY=SomeRandomString

DB_HOST=localhost
DB_DATABASE=erp
DB_USERNAME=homestead
DB_PASSWORD=secret

CACHE_DRIVER=file
SESSION_DRIVER=file

But if I echo out like so {{ getenv('APP_ENV') }} it does show local, but doing php artisan shows production!

I literally have no clue, it's working fine for me, I am sorry.

It's just .env, wherever you put it. Use APP_ENV=local within the .env file to specify the environment.

@opb that's the one yes it's just .env

Next question would be what about Form model binding? for editing a page with values filled with stuff from the db?

what about it? The idea of Form model binding is that you can pass the data to a form and it'll automatically get filled with the data that matches the inputs names.

yes how does this work in L5 ? in L4 we did things like

{{ Form::model($user, ['method' => 'PUT', 'route' => ['product.update', $user->id], 'class' => 'form-horizontal']) }}

Reason I ask all these questions is @JeffreyWay hasn't updated new videos with this stuff on and Taylor is updating this docs this week as far as I know.

As far as i know, Form model binding in L5 is same as L4, Jeff is working on L5 tutorials.

Ah right that's cool then, I know Jeff is working on these I meant to say he's not at this point yet.

Yeah, he already started putting L5 screencasts, but he stopped until L5 is ready, now that it'll go beta in a week or two

he decided to continue teaching L5.

Yeah i've seen the couple hes done already

I didn't mean namespacing "does" it for you, meant if you namespace classes, you have to start importing things to be able to use them :)
