Laravel 4 Framework - Query scope not working

Question

I'm a big ol' newbie at Laravel, and I'm trying to do a query scope but it doesn't seem to be working, I keep getting this error:

Argument 1 passed to Letters::scopeForUser() must be an instance of User

My user is logged in, but it still doesn't seem to be working.

This is my Letters model:

<?php

class Letters extends Eloquent {

    protected $table = 'letters';

    public function scopeForUser(User $u)
    {

        return $query->where('userid', '=', $u->id);

    }

}

and in my controller I have the following:

Route::get('myletters', array(
    'before' => 'auth|userdetail',
    function()
    {

        // Grab the letters, if any, for this user
        $letters = Letters::forUser(Auth::user())->get();

        $data = [
            'letters' => $letters
        ];

        return View::make('myletters', $data);

    }
));

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You should pass a variable $query as the first argument to your method in the Model. For example:

public function scopeForUser($query, User $u)
{

    return $query->where('userid', '=', $u->id);

}

The first argument doesn't necessarily need to be $query, but it should be the same variable that you are using inside the scope method ($query in this case).
