Unable to inject Laravel's DB class into an abstract class located in another namespace folder.
Getting Error "Call to undefined method Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB::table()"
-Check:Working- FrontController.php
<?php
use MyProject\MainPages\Front;
class indexController extends \BaseController {
/**
* @var Front
*/
private $Front;
/**
* @param ProductRepository $productRepo
*/
function __construct(Front $Front)
{
//Test
//$this->Front = $Front->goSetup();
}
}
-Check:Working- Front.php
<?php namespace MyProject\MainPages;
use MyProject\MainPages\NavigationSkeleton;
class Front extends NavigationBluPrint {
/**
* Begins the process, Step 1
*/
protected function goSetup() {
// $this->DB->table() etc
}
}
-Not Working- NavigationBluPrint.php
<?php namespace MyProject\MainPages;
use \DB;
abstract class NavigationBluPrint {
/**
* @var DB Laravel Database connection
*/
protected $dB;
public function __construct(DB $dB)
{
// SetDB so when extended it's already set for extended classes
$this->dB = $dB;
// Test below
$x = $this->dB->table('products')->get(); //Error: Call to undefined method Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB::table()
echo '<pre>';
print_r($x);
echo '<pre>';
}
}
If I need to do something with App:: to make this work, I dont understand how it's done. Thank you
Solution Found:In case someone else runs into the same problem.
In abstract class "NavigationBluPrint.php"
I replaced \DB; with=> use \Illuminate\Database\DatabaseManager as DB;
It seems to fix the problem, although I'm not sure whether its instantiating a new DB from start or using the same one. If former then it kind of defeats the purpose.
