Use laravel cashier

[ulshamim]

Can I use laravel cashier with this package? If yes then somehow $user->subscription('basic')->create(Input::get('stripeToken')); code is not working. I have added the code after $user->addGroup($adminGroup); in UserController.php file.

Hi @ulshamim , I'm not sure about Laravel Cashier because we don't use it in Redminportal. But technically there shouldn't be any problem.

I think your problem may be due to how you call the User model.

We're using Cartalyst/Sentry for user management, that's why you see:

$user = Sentry::findUserById(1);

I'm not sure if Sentry supports Laravel Cashier directly.

How about try to get User model directly by using:

$user = User::find(1);

This calls the User model in Eloquent, so it should work with most Laravel's built-in functions.

Important Do note that if you get User model this way all the other codes with $user after that cannot be used directly because Sentry has its own methods. For example, $user->addGroup() is a Sentry specific method.

hmm, I tried cashier without using redminportal package and it's working. But somehow with this package it's not working. It shows an error: Call to undefined method Illuminate\Database\Query\Builder::subscription() . Error file path: C:\xampp\htdocs\inspeckd\workbench\redooor\redminportal\vendor\laravel\framework\src\Illuminate\Database\Query\Builder.php . Can you please help me to short-out this?

Hi @ulshamim , are you using Laravel 4.2?

Try adding the dependency to workbench/redooor/redminportal/composer.json

"laravel/cashier": "~2.0"

Then edit workbench/redooor/redminportal/src/Redooor/Redminportal/RedminportalServiceProvider.php

Edit boot() function to this

public function boot()
{
        $this->package('redooor/redminportal');

        $this->app->register('Maatwebsite\Excel\ExcelServiceProvider');
        $this->app->register('Cartalyst\Sentry\SentryServiceProvider');
        $this->app->register('Laravel\Cashier\CashierServiceProvider');

        include __DIR__.'/../../routes.php';
        include __DIR__.'/../../filters.php';
}

Question: Is this feature essential to the Redminportal package? If it doesn't affect or change the functionality of the Redminportal package, you should do this at the app/ folder instead of workbench/.

[ulshamim]

Yes I am laravel 4.2 . I followed your instructions but there was same error. Should I run composer update in workbench/redooor/redminportal? If yes then how can I do so?

[kongnir]

Hi @ulshamim , yes you need to run composer update again.

?> cd workbench/redooor/redminportal
?> composer update --prefer-dist -vvv --profile
?> php ../../../artisan dump-autoload

The additional argument "--profile" will save the packages in your computer so it's faster next time when you run composer update again. "-vvv" is verbose mode, so you'll see what's going on. "--prefer-dist" just tells composer to use stable version whenever possible.

If you have composer.phar downloaded on the root folder, use this command instead.

?> cd workbench/redooor/redminportal
?> php ../../../composer.phar update --prefer-dist -vvv --profile
?> php ../../../artisan dump-autoload

4) App/model/User

<?php

use Illuminate\Auth\UserTrait;
use Illuminate\Auth\UserInterface;
use Illuminate\Auth\Reminders\RemindableTrait;
use Illuminate\Auth\Reminders\RemindableInterface;
use Laravel\Cashier\BillableTrait;
use Laravel\Cashier\BillableInterface;

class User extends Eloquent implements UserInterface, RemindableInterface, BillableInterface {

    use UserTrait,
        BillableTrait,
        RemindableTrait;

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

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

}

[kongnir]

workbench/redooor/redminportal/composer.json and workbench/redooor/redminportal/src/Redooor/Redminportal/RedminportalServiceProvider.php look right.

For the User model, can you add the interface to the User model in the package instead? It should be under workbench/redooor/redminportal/src/models/User.php

As for UserController.php, I'm not sure if you can use it with Sentry. But you try changing the User model first. Let's see.

[ulshamim]

Same issue. Here is the workbench/redooor/redminportal/src/models/User.php code:

<?php namespace Redooor\Redminportal;

use Illuminate\Auth\UserInterface;
use Illuminate\Auth\Reminders\RemindableInterface;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Laravel\Cashier\BillableTrait;
use Laravel\Cashier\BillableInterface;

class User extends Model implements UserInterface, RemindableInterface, BillableInterface {
    use BillableTrait;

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

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

    /**
     * Get the unique identifier for the user.
     *
     * @return mixed
     */
    public function getAuthIdentifier()
    {
        return $this->getKey();
    }

    /**
     * Get the password for the user.
     *
     * @return string
     */
    public function getAuthPassword()
    {
        return $this->password;
    }

    /**
     * Get the e-mail address where password reminders are sent.
     *
     * @return string
     */
    public function getReminderEmail()
    {
        return $this->email;
    }

    public function getRememberToken()
    {
        return $this->remember_token;
    }

    public function setRememberToken($value)
    {
        $this->remember_token = $value;
    }

    public function getRememberTokenName()
    {
        return 'remember_token';
    }

}

[kongnir]

Now in UserController.php, can you change this line:

$user->subscription('basic')->create(Input::get('stripeToken'));

to

$user_model = User::find($user->id);
$user_model->subscription('basic')->create(Input::get('stripeToken'));

What is the error message?

[ulshamim]

Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssss .It's working. Great.

Cool, I'm closing this issue then. :)
