I'm using Laravel 5.3 and my php ver is 7.1
when i called SoftDeletes class i get that error
ErrorException in Builder.php line 1231: count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable
this is my model
<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\SoftDeletes;
class Post extends Model
{
use SoftDeletes;
protected $dates = ['deleted_at'];
protected $fillable = [
'title','content','image','category_id','slug'
];
public function category(){
return $this->belongsTo('App\Category');
}
}
and it is my controller
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Post;
use App\Category;
use Session;
class PostsController extends Controller
{
/**
* Display a listing of the resource.
*
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function index()
{
return view('admin.posts.index')->with('posts',Post::all());
}
/**
* Show the form for creating a new resource.
*
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function create()
{
$category = Category::all();
if($category->count() == 0){
Session::flash('info' , 'You must create at least 1 category to add a new post');
return redirect()->back();
}
return view('admin.posts.post')->with('categories',$category);
}
/**
* Store a newly created resource in storage.
*
* @param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function store(Request $request)
{
$this->validate($request,[
'title' => 'required|max:255',
'image' => 'required|image',
'content' => 'required',
'category_id' => 'required'
]);
$image = $request->image;
$image_new_name = time().$image->getClientOriginalName();
$image->move('/uploads/posts' , $image_new_name);
$post= Post::create([
'title' => $request->title,
'image' => '/uploads/posts/' . $image_new_name,
'content' => $request->content,
'category_id' => $request->category_id,
'slug' => str_slug($request->title)
]);
Session::flash('success' , 'You created a new post');
return redirect()->back();
}
/**

*
* @param int $id
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function show($id)
