How to use MongoDB in Laravel Framework - laravel-4

Question

I'm having a problem using the MongoDB with Laravel framework. I used this Laravel-MongoDB
Here's the error I got
/app/model/User.php
<?php
use Jenssegers\Mongodb\Model as Eloquent;
class User extends Eloquent {
//protected $connection = 'mongodb';
protected $collection = 'users';
$user = User::all();
public function all()
{
return $this->$user;
}
}
?>
/app/routes.php
Route::get('users', function()
{
$users = User::all();
return View::make('users')->with('users',$users);
});
/app/config/database.php
'mongodb' => array(
'driver' => 'mongodb',
'host' => 'localhost',
'port' => 27017,
'username' => 'username',
'password' => 'password',
'database' => 'users'
),
I don't know what's wrong with my implementation. Please help me guys..

Answer 1

i think its not an issue with mongo
you can`t declare local class variable like that .
please try this
<?php
use Jenssegers\Mongodb\Model as Eloquent;
class User extends Eloquent {
//protected $connection = 'mongodb';
protected $collection = 'users';
}
?>
controller/UserController.php
class UserController extends \BaseController
{
public function all()
{
return User::all();
}
}
routes.php
route::get("all-users","UserController#all");

Answer 2

Its not a mongo+Laravel issue.The issue occurs because of the below code
line inside model
$user = User::all();
So please rewrite the code as below
app/model/user.php
<?php
use Jenssegers\Mongodb\Model as Eloquent;
class User extends Eloquent {
//protected $connection = 'mongodb';
protected $collection = 'users';
}
?>
all()
is a predefined function returns all rows of that model.so you can access it via without function definition.rewrite routes as below
app/routes.php
<?php
Route::get('users', function()
{
$users = User::all();
return View::make('users')->with('users',$users);
});
?>
