Instantiate class within bootstrap/start.php file Laravel 4.2?

Question

I have an app running Laravel 4.2, I have a class that takes care of IP's in a blacklist, and this one is safe on the bench.

I need that when a user accesses my application the system validates if the IP is in the blacklist returns a 403, if you won’t let me in. I’m trying to instantiate the class BlackListIpController inside the archive bootstrap/start.php (file that starts the application) however, without success.

Code:

$model = new app\controllers\BlackListIPsController;
if($model::where('ip', $model->getIp())->first()) {
    abort(403);
}

Error:

[Fri Jun 9 09:19:18 2017] PHP Fatal error: Undefined Constant 'app controllers Blacklistipscontroller' in /home/user/projects/abc/bootstrap/start.php on line 16

[Fri Jun 9 09:36:53 2017] PHP Fatal error: Class 'app controllers Blacklistipscontroller' not found in /home/user/projects/abc/bootstrap/start.php on line 16

Use the technique that is made for that which is Route Filters - Documentation, example:

Open the file app\filters.php and create a filter by name ipblock:

Route::filter('ipblock', function()
{
    // aqui você coloca a sua lógica se não passar só fiz uma 
    // cópia do que está na sua pergunta acho eu que está ainda
    // errado, mas, só corrigir a sua lógica.
    $model = new app\controllers\BlackListIPsController;
    if($model->where('ip', $model->getIp())->first()) {
        abort(403);
    }
});

after creating this filter you must enter the app\routes.php and create a Route::group with this filter, example:

Route::group(array('before' => 'ipblock'), function()
{
     // insira as rotas que seram verificadas e protegidas por
     // esse filtro, exemplo
     Route::get( ....

});

or if you want individually:

Route::get('user', array('before' => 'ipblock', function()
{
    return '...';
}));

ready if he does not pass the filter he 403 as you wish.

Observing:

To get the ip see link, example:

Request::getClientIp();

---

There is also a way to work with your application events or application filters that is by the commands (in your case it is App::before, but, added the others as example):

App::before(function($request)
{
    //coloque a lógica aqui
});

---

App::after(function($request, $response)
{
    //coloque a lógica aqui
});    

---

App::error(function(Exception $exception)
{
   //coloque a lógica aqui
});

which are also located in the app\filters.php.
