Argument 1 passed to controller must be an instance of Illuminate\Http\Request?

I am pretty new to laravel, and have searched everywhere but could not fix this error:

Argument 1 passed to InsertController::insert() must be an instance of Illuminate\Http\Request, none given

I am trying to validate my input by passing in the Request method so I don't have to re-write a new validate method for every form, but it seems to always give me this error.

<?php

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Routing\Controller;

class InsertController extends Controller {

    public function insert(Request $request) {
        $username = Input::get('username');
        $pw = Hash::make(Input::get('pw'));
        $email = Input::get('email');

        $this->validate($request, ['name' => 'required|unique:users', 
                            'password' => 'required|min:8|max:255',
                            'email' => 'required|email|unique:users']); 


        if(!$validator->fails()) {
            $user = DB::table('users')->insert(
            ['email' => $email, 'password' => $pw, 'name' => $username]);
        }
    }

}

Here is the route I'm calling it with as well.

Route::post('users', ['uses' => 'InsertController@insert', 'before' => 'csrf'], function()
{
    $users = User::all(); //call the User model for all data in users table
    return View::make('users')->with('users', $users);
});

The reason why it is not working is because of the given code relays on the injection of Request-Object, which was introduced with Laravel 5 but the installed framework version is 4.2.17.

To solve the issue you can remove the Request-Object from the method signature or update Laravel to 5.
