I'm starting out in Laravel and want to discover more about using error handling especially the ModelNotFoundException
object.
<?php
class MenuController extends BaseController {
function f() {
try {
$menus = Menu::where('parent_id', '>', 100)->firstOrFail();
} catch (ModelNotFoundException $e) {
$message = 'Invalid parent_id.';
return Redirect::to('error')->with('message', $message);
}
return $menus;
}
}
?>
In my model:
<?php
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\ModelNotFoundException;
class Menu extends Eloquent {
protected $table = 'categories';
}
?>
Of course for my example there are no records in 'categories' that have a parent_id > 100
this is my unit test. So I'm expecting to do something with ModelNotFoundException
.
If I run http://example.co.uk/f in my browser I receive:
Illuminate \ Database \ Eloquent \ ModelNotFoundException
No query results for model [Menu].
the laravel error page - which is expected, but how do I redirect to my route 'error' with the pre-defined message? i.e.
<?php
// error.blade.php
{{ $message }}
?>
If you could give me an example.
