Cannot instantiate abstract class...

[enzonotario]

Hi!, I'm trying to implement this in laravel but when I run php artisan route:list for example, I get:
Cannot instantiate abstract class Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model

I have a model called Piso:

<?php namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Piso extends Model
{
    public $timestamps = false;
    protected $table = 'pisos';
    protected $primaryKey = 'id';

}

a PisoTransformer:

class PisoTransformer implements JsonApiMapping
{
    public function getClass()
    {
        return Piso::class;
    }

    public function getAlias()
    {
        return 'piso';
    }

    public function getAliasedProperties()
    {
        return [

        ];
    }

    public function getHideProperties()
    {
        return [

        ];
    }

    public function getIdProperties()
    {
        return ['id'];
    }

    public function getUrls()
    {
        return [
            'self' => ['name' => 'pisos.show', 'as_id' => 'id'],
            'pisos' => ['name' => 'pisos.index'],
        ];
    }

    public function getRelationships()
    {
        return [];
    }
}

}

In my routes.php I have: Route::resource('pisos', 'PisoController');

and in config/jsonapi.php:

<?php

use App\Models\Api\PisoTransformer;

return [
    PisoTransformer::class,
];

Can someone help me please??.. and sorry, I don't speak english so if anything is wrong...

Thanks!

Everything looks OK to me.

@enzonotario mind sharing PisoController so I can try recreate the scenario? Maybe it's something there. You need to inherint the Controller provided by this package to make it work.

[enzonotario]

Yes, I have PisoController:

<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Models\Piso;
use NilPortugues\Laravel5\JsonApi\Controller\JsonApiController;

class PisoController extends JsonApiController
{
    /**
     * Return the Eloquent model that will be used
     * to model the JSON API resources.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model
     */
    public function getDataModel()
    {
        return new Piso();
    }
}

I use this package with https://github.com/jadjoubran/laravel5-angular-material-starter

[enzonotario]

If I use the laravel5-jsonapi-dingo package, I get: "Action App\\Http\\Controllers\\PisoController@index not defined.",, with the same controller that extends JsonApiController..
I dont know why..
please help me!

Check DB connection

Yes, now it works... but I don't understand how to do validations. I create a Form Request but it doesn't work.. if I use the "manual validation" doesn't work too... can anyone give me an example of how to use this package with "business validations"?
For example, with the Employee model in the README, how can I validate that the email_address is unique? or whatever other validations?

Thanks!
