Here's the error:

Too few arguments to function App\Http\Controllers\UserController::store(), 0 passed and exactly 1 expected

Here's my Controller:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\User;
//use App\Http\Requests\CreateUserRequest;

class UserController extends Controller
{
	
	  public function __construct() {
        $this->middleware('checkRole: admin');
    }
	
    public function index()
    {
        $users = User::all();
		return view('admin/listUsers', compact('users'));
    }

   public function insertUser() {
        return view('admin.insertUser');
    }

   public function store($request)
    {
		$user = new User;
		if($input('admin_yes')=="Y") {
			$user->admin=1;
		}
		else {
			$user->admin=0;
		}
		$user->id = $request->input('user_id');
		$user->name=$request->input('name');
		$user->email=$request->input('email');
		$user->password = Hash::make($request->input('password'));
		$success='User was successfully created!';
		
		if($user->save()) {
			return View::make('/admin/displayUser')
			->with('user', $user)
			->with('newUser', 'Here\'s the user you just entered!')
			->with('adminPermissions', 'yes');
		}
    }

I'm assuming that "$request" has no value, but I can't do a "var_dump" and I don't know how else to see it.

So, where am I blowing it?

Hey Bruce,

Laravel uses something called Dependency Injection. This means that it can automatically inject certain parameters in your controllers and their methods. But ... for this to happen, Laravel needs to know the type of the argument to pass in, so you have to type-hint it. Your store() method needs to type-hint the $request variable to the correct type - which should be Request, so your store method should look like this:

public function store(Request $request) {
    ...
}

Open in new window

Now it knows that the $request variable is of the Request type, so it can inject it automatically :)

That'll do it, Chris! At least, that's getting me closer.

Can you take a look at https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/29170137/How-to-insert-a-record-into-Laravel's-User-table.html

Thanks!
