BadMethodCallException Method eloquent does not exist

Question

Current project in LARAVEL get this error:

BadMethodCallException Method eloquent does not exist.

my routes.php:

Route::any('act', array('as' => 'ApiActividadesController', 'uses' => 'ApiActividadesController@get_index'));

my model.php (Actividades.php)

use Illuminate\Auth\UserTrait; use Illuminate\Auth\UserInterface; use Illuminate\Auth\Reminders\RemindableTrait; use Illuminate\Auth\Reminders\RemindableInterface;

class Actividades extends Eloquent implements UserInterface, RemindableInterface {

use UserTrait, RemindableTrait;

/**
 * The database table used by the model.
 *
 * @var string
 */
protected $table = 'actividades';

/**
 * The attributes excluded from the model's JSON form.
 *
 * @var array
 */
protected $hidden = array('password', 'remember_token');

}

and my controller.php (ApiActividadesController.php)

class ApiActividadesController extends BaseController {

public $restful = true;

public function get_index($id = null) 
{
    if (is_null($id )) 
    {
        return Response::eloquent(Actividades::all());
    } 
    else 
    {
        $actividades = Actividades::find($id);

        if(is_null($actividades)){
            return Response::json('Actividades not found', 404);
        } else {
                return Response::eloquent($actividades);
        }
    }
}

The error throws in the return Response::eloquent(Actividades::all());

I've try to rebuild entire project, use case sensitive but method "laravel" doesn't seems to apear.

need help!

There is no such thing as Response::eloquent() what are you trying to do? — lukasgeiter
return all elements of table "actividades" @lukasgeiter via API — Ratiess

Response::eloquent() simply does not exist. That's what the error says and that's the problem here. What the OP meant (see comments) was Response::json() which converts the passed variable to JSON:

return Response::json(Actividades::all());

As a little bonus: It is indeed possible to have something like Response::eloquent(). Laravel's Response Macros allow you to add a custom shortcut to generate responses. This is how you register them:

Response::macro('eloquent', function($value)
{
    return Response::json($value);
});

And the usage: (exactly like you had it)

return Response::eloquent(Actividades::all());

Obviously it makes not much sense to just pass it on to Response::json(). Normally you would change the value or do something else entirely.
