Non-static method is() Execption

[ndberg]

I have a basic Problem with checking if a user has a role:

If I do it in routes.php it works:

        $user = User::find(3);
        Bouncer::is($user)->a('admin');

If i do it in the CompanyController, I get this Error:

at HandleExceptions->handleError('8192', 'Non-static method Silber\Bouncer\Bouncer::is() should not be called statically, assuming $this from incompatible context', '/home/vagrant/Code/torebuild1/app/Http/Controllers/CompanyController.php', '112', array('id' => '3', 'user' => object(User))) in CompanyController.php line 112

Is there a Issue or am I doing something completely wrong?

All examples in the docs use the facade. If you've set up the facade alias, you should be able to use the examples in the docs directly. Do not use Silber\Bouncer\Bouncer.

If you don't want to use the facade, inject an instance of Bouncer into your controller:

public function foo(Bouncer $bouncer)
{
    $bouncer->is($user)->an('admin');
}

If you go down this path, do use Silber\Bouncer\Bouncer.

If I take the use Silber\Bouncer\Bouncer out of the Controller then I have the Error:

Class 'App\Http\Controllers\Bouncer' not found

But I did follow the Installation Instructions, means: I did add the Lines to the providers and to the aliases array in config/app.php.

Add this instead:

use Bouncer;

This'll import the global facade alias.
