I'm unable to call Laravel Cart methods statically from controller
cart, laravel
Solution
Instead of calling the static methods on the `Darryldecode\Cart\Cart` class you should do that on the facade of the packages. In your case that probably just means removing a `use Darryldecode\Cart\Cart;` statement in your controller.
Because the controller is probably inside a namespace of it's own you now have to either reference it by `\Cart` or add `use Cart` to make sure the alias is used for the calls.
Take a look at the documentation to learn more about Laravel Facades and how they work
Problem
I'm trying to set up this shopping cart library in Laravel, but I keep getting `Non-static method Darryldecode\Cart\Cart::add() should not be called statically, assuming $this from incompatible context` https://github.com/darryldecode/laravelshoppingcart here's my controller code: ``` public function getCart(){ $cartCollection = Cart::getContent(); return response()->json($cartCollection->toArray()); } public function updateCart( Request $request, $id ){ $input = $request->all(); Cart::update($id, array_except($input, array('_token'))); } public function addToCart( Request $request ){ $input= $request->all(); Cart::add(array_except($input, array('_token'))); } public function removeFromCart( $id ){ Cart::remove($id); } ``` my confusion is that the documentation for this library says that you should be calling the methods statically. I also tried using the dependency ejection method, and that threw a different error. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. I'm pretty new to Laravel so forgive me if this is a dumb oversight. also I fallowed all the steps to set up this library, including adding it to the App.php providers array and the aliases array.
