Laravel: Missing argument

Question

I am building this website and I want to pass url parameters

Should generate all the people listed with genre=action

This is my route

Route::resource(Str::slug(trans('main.people')), 'ActorController');

This is my ActorController

public function index($input)
{

if (isset($input['genre']) && $input['genre'] != 'all')
    {
        return $this->actor->where('genre', 'like', '$input');

        return View::make('Actor.All')->withActors($actors);
    }
    else
    {

         return View::make('Actor.All')->withActors($actors);
}
}

I keep receiving this error ErrorException Missing argument 1 for ActorController::index()

Hi the Input class here only grabs GET/POST data. How do I send input from the URL? — Stephenmelb

@Stephenmelb the input class will fetch query strings fine, but you'll need to do it manually — Damien Pirsy

Query strings aren't passed down automatically to controller's method, you need to fetch them manually:

public function index()
{
  if(Input::has('genre') && Input::get('genre') != 'all') {
     $this->actor->where('genre', 'like', Input::get('genre'));

  }
  return View::make('Actor.all')->withActors($this->actor);
}

Hi I think its passing the variable but now I am getting Call to undefined method Lib\Repository\Actor\DbActor::where()

Because I'm only guessing where you're taking that $actor variable from, I suppose you inizialize it in the constructor? Is it an DB class, right?

public function __construct(DbActor $actor, ActorValidator $validator, Options $options) { $this->actor = $actor; $this->options = $options; $this->validator = $validator; }

Does your class has a where method? It doesn't look like an Eloquent model, what is it?

Its eloquent but my actor class doesnt have a where method
