Error with Eloquent Methods

[kevbaldwyn]

When trying to call an Eloquent method I get a call to undefined method error for example:

class Blog extends Ardent {

}

then

Blog::orderBy('date', 'DESC')->paginate(15);
or
Blog::get();

orderBy is not defined, this is the same for all query methods I've tried.

Is it because Ardent is extending Model, however when we create models and want to make use of the Eloquent magic we extend Eloquent instead?

I was unable to reproduce the issue. Eloquent methods work fine on Ardent subclasses.

Make sure you're including the Ardent namespace in your model class files:

use LaravelBook\Ardent\Ardent;

class Blog extends Ardent {

}
