How to use MongoDB in Laravel Framework

Question

While using MongoDB with the Laravel framework I am getting the following error:

/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'

        ),

Can someone guide me on this?

Answer 1

There is nothing wrong with your MongoDB, I think you are declaring the local class variable in the wrong way.

Try to implement the following code:

<?php 

use Jenssegers\Mongodb\Model as Eloquent;

class User extends Eloquent {

     //protected $connection = 'mongodb';

     protected $collection = 'users';

}

?>

And in the controller/UserController.php:

routes.php

route::get("all-users","UserController@all");
