First, I have IDE helper, and the php storm plugin. I tried the Gist pre made too. There are some similar questions, but no one seems to get answers. I'll probably poke laracasts and ide helper bug list if I don't get anything here.
So I'm following along to some of the into laracasts, and the guy keeps using methods that are not defined as far as I can tell. Situation:
I created a eloquent model called Article. It extends
Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model
So now I have App\Article and I can call any of the methods available to model. For example:
$article = \App\Article::all();
PHPStorm is happy. He keeps pulling stuff like ::find() or ::findOrFail()
It's in the docs
I just don't under stand how that works, I don't see the methods defined in model. If this is what ide helper is supposed to fix, then I'm not certain it's working correctly. I can RTFM, I'm pretty sure I followed the directions to a tee.
Ya know, I just found it. I see this question out and about, so I'll answer it here.

Fixed find or fail for me. find is still MIA. I'm surprised laravel doesn't support their code base in the forms of plugins or dedicated IDE's bit more. It's all just people out there creating a community and moving the world forward so I can't complain too much.
It works because Model implements __callStatic() which dispatches it to itself on a new instance: __callStatic() implementation on Model
It creates a new instance (new static) of the model in question and dispatches the statically called method on the instance.
Effectively, Model::foo($bar) is the same as (new Model)->foo($bar).

I'm new to Laravel & I wanted to know something about it's feature that calls Contracts.
(If my question not in place, let me know why, and don't just downvote it).
So from what I red in Laravel Documentation and say on Laracasts videos, I understood that contracts they are only interfaces for class implementation.
So what it's good for? That if I or someone else will implement those interfaces will all need to go by the interface and then I dont need to change my code at all?
Is that the reason why Laravel uses it's implementation as a contracts ?
Also I wanted to know, to achive the implementation I must bind the implementation to a contract?
Yes, I think your understanding is mostly correct. I will try to explain with an example. Let's say you have a PackageDeliveryServiceContract that has some methods like trackPackage, getShippingCost.
You create a FedexDeliveryService to adhere to the contract and implement those methods.
In your controller, you can just inject PackageDeliveryServiceContract and start using it right away. (are you familiar with laravel's dependency injection?).
Let's say later you decide you no longer want to ship with Fedex and use UPS instead. Then you can create UPSDeliveryService that also adheres to that contract.
Now, all you need to do is change your binding from FedexDeliveryService to UPSDeliveryService and you don't need to make any changes to your controller code.
Typically you will create the binding between contract and implementation inside a service provider such as app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php
I am totally new in developing with Xamarin and I try to use the MvvmCross library in a shared project for all platforms. It seems that I succesfully added the libraries in each project, but now I am confused how to start. I tried to follow the documentation, but I think I didnt understand it right. I can use the CreatableTypes Method, but there are no EndingWith or the other Methods from the documentation. The examples that I found are mostly about PCL. I even dont know if this is a version problem or if I missed something important at all. Any hint or link would be helpfull.
First of all be careful what informations you read, always check the date or you will waste your time with some articles which are outdated. The most important ressources are prolly the official sample: https://github.com/MvvmCross/MvvmCross-Samples
Normally you use the PCL for all the background stuffand there should be some class like this https://github.com/MvvmCross/MvvmCross-Samples/blob/master/TipCalc/TipCalc.Core/App.cs . In this class you should be able to register all your services like this for IoC:
public override void Initialize()
{
CreatableTypes().EndingWith("Service").AsInterfaces().RegisterAsSingleton();
And then MVVMCross automatically takes care of initializing it, if you do a constructor injection in the ViewModel as a Example...
public MainViewModel(IPreferenceService preferenceService)
{
// Do Something here with the Service
}
...and you just need to call to show it with it connected view:
ShowViewModel<MainViewModel>();
So basically try to understand the samples first, i think TipCalc is still mostly up to date, atleast it is MVVMCross 4.0 https://github.com/MvvmCross/MvvmCross-Samples/tree/master/TipCalc
Just trying to understand how Capsule works in laravel. Everything works correctly where it is defined, however, as soon as a new page is opened it again take backs the old connection information instead of the new connection which is defined.
I believed setAsGlobal() basically makes it available for that particular session atleast, however, I guess I am conceptually wrong here.
It would be really nice if someone can guide through the right way to make the new database connection available globally VIA CAPSULE, there are various other ways, however this seems more promising.
It would be really nice if someone could explain the following commands in more simpler way (the comments are written as per in the documentation, however, something above that would be really nice):
// Set the event dispatcher used by Eloquent models... (optional)
$capsule->setEventDispatcher(new Dispatcher(new Container));
// Set the cache manager instance used by connections... (optional)
$capsule->setCacheManager(...);
// Make this Capsule instance available globally via static methods... (optional)
$capsule->setAsGlobal();
// Setup the Eloquent ORM... (optional; unless you've used setEventDispatcher())
$capsule->bootEloquent();
Any help would really be appreciated. Thank you.
Check my answer at https://stackoverflow.com/a/34837068/1216285 to use Capsule out of Laravel scope in your app. Since all the laravel components are decoupled and served as independent components in laravel project, you can use them in your app easily.
Recently I came across someone's code. The Alloy Markup is empty with just <Alloy />. In its controller, it adds a view using $.addTopLevelView().
How come I can't find any documentation regarding this function?
Good point. It might be because it's considered private, although it would normally start with _ to indicate that since JS doesn't actually support private methods.
It is also against the very idea of Alloy to not use the XML file for the markup but instead use "classic" Titanium code in the controller together with this method.
However, it might be a good idea to do a PR against the following file to request this to be documented:
https://github.com/appcelerator/alloy/edit/master/Alloy/lib/alloy/controllers/BaseController.js
It should be simple, but it's not.
I have a library that is hoping to use other libraries, but something ain't jiving.
Both libs live in system/cms/libraries because as far as I can tell, addons/shared_addons/libraries is utterly useless and the libraries need to be autoloaded (it seems that system/cms is essentially system/application but please correct me if wrong). An aside: just for kicks I put a library in shared_addons/libaries just to see if I could call if from a module; I couldn't. Why is it there?
Lib1
-needs db
-needs lib2
Lib2
-needs session
Here's what happens. Controller [module] loads; calls lib1 which calls lib2 which throws an error. Lib1 is to be called by all module controllers. Lib2 uses session data that is set earlier on and is only called by lib1.
In lib2 I use $CI=get_instance() to supposedly enable CI libs (e.g. database, session). However, I can't get past "Fatal error: Call to a member function userdata() on a non-object"; which is called by
//system/cms/libraries/lib2.php
$this->CI =& get_instance();
//$this->load->library('database'); == "can't find class database"
$ekeyLoc = $this->CI->session->userdata('ronery');
now if I run this in a module controller, it works as expected.
So googling that error, a lot of "db not loaded"'s come up. Just to make sure, I tried to load the database, but because eff me, it can't find class 'database' NB: database is being autoloaded.
When you assign CodeIgniter super object, I'm assuming it's grabbing the whole jabloney, right? I thought so. But to make sure, I decided to try and load the database class in a module/controller, which turns out, because eff me, couldn't be found.
I tried looking through the pyroCMS docs to find out about any trickery, but there ain't much, and none helpful to my situation.
Why can't I load a core library from a module controller?
Why can't I load a core library into a custom library in system/cms/libraries?
Why doesn't the CodeIgniter super object I assign contain session/db crap?
Why can't I load a library from /addons/shared_addons/library?
Why would a call to $this->session->userdata() work from a module controller, but not from a library in the system/cms/libraries folder even though CodeIgniter super object has been assigned?
Thanks.
After 2 days with no answer, I find it both frustrating and hilarious that continuing to search for help inevitably leads to this question being the top google result. FML.
First things first:
$this->load->library('database');
That is not valid CodeIgniter code, like their documentation says it should be:
$this->load->database();
As you've already pointed out though this is autoloaded so there is no need to do that anyway.
Why can't I load a core library from a module controller?
You can.
Why can't I load a core library into a custom library in system/cms/libraries?
You can.
Why doesn't the CodeIgniter super object I assign contain session/db crap?
It does.
Why can't I load a library from /addons/shared_addons/library?
This was not possible in 1.3.x but should have been fixed in 1.3.2, if not has been fixed since in 2.0.
I do not know what you are doing or why you are having such problems, but without any example code or a description of what version of PyroCMS you are using I cannot help any further.
If you have been stuck for two days why have you not posted on our forums? If you HAVE posted on our forums (I didn't see anything about it) you should have put a link in this post to your forum thread to help other people answer the questions.
This is not the first time anyone has been stuck on the internet but you act like it is. Come on, you know how this works! :)
