Call to a member function prepare() on null On Laravel Fetch the data with MongoDB

Working with Data

Hi Team,

I’m encountering the following error when trying to fetch data using Laravel with MongoDB:

Call to a member function prepare() on null

Here are the steps I followed:

Installed the required MongoDB package (jenssegers/mongodb).

Updated the model file to use Jenssegers\Mongodb\Eloquent\Model as Eloquent.

Attempted to fetch data using the model.

Model File:

<?php namespace App\Models; use Jenssegers\Mongodb\Eloquent\Model as Eloquent; class Setting extends Eloquent { protected $connection = 'mongodb'; // Important! protected $fillable = ['type', 'description']; } **Controller Function:** function get_settings($type = "", $return_type = false) { $value = App\Models\Setting::where('type', $type); if ($value->count() > 0) { if ($return_type === true) { return json_decode($value->value('description'), true); } elseif ($return_type === "object") { return json_decode($value->value('description')); } else { return $value->value('description'); } } else { return false; } } Could you please assist me in resolving this issue?
