Is it working in Laravel 5.2

[tarunhere]

Is it compulsory to user Repositories to use jqgrid? I tried to Learn and implement repositories but now luck!

Can any one guide me in right direction to use jqgrid with laravel 5.2.? Thanks in advance.

Have you seen the turorials, there aren't too many differences with Laravel 5.

yes I tried. I got confused with Repository Part. I haven't used before. Can you guide me in detailed steps. Thanks in advance.

@mgallegos I'm having the exact same problem than you. I have created an app/ModelnameRepository.php file (because there's no models folder in L5) and I have added the following code (adding a namespace declaration at the top):

<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Mgallegos\LaravelJqgrid\Repositories\EloquentRepositoryAbstract;

class ExampleRepository extends EloquentRepositoryAbstract {
  public function __construct(Model $Model) {
    $this->Database = $Model;
    $this->visibleColumns = array('col1','col2');
    $this->orderBy = array(array('col1', 'desc'), array('col2','asc'));
  }
}

I get the following error:

FatalErrorException in routes.php line 34:
Class 'ExampleRepository' not found

I tried to do a composer dump-autoload, but still no success. What's wrong in your opinion?

I was able to have this working by adding those lines at the top of the routes.php file:

use Mgallegos\LaravelJqgrid\Facades\GridEncoder;
use App\ExampleRepository;
use App\Example;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Input;
