Call Laravel Controller methods via command line

laravel-controller-method-commands.php

<?php

php artisan tinker
$controller = app()->make('App\Http\Controllers\MyController');
app()->call([$controller, 'myMethodName'], []);

//the last [] in the app()->call() can hold arguments such as [user_id] => 10 etc'

Hello, this approach is great, but how to pass request parameters?
I created Request object by this:
$request = Request::create('/controller/action', 'POST', $params);

Its helpful app()->call('App\Http\Controllers\MyController@myMethodName');
Thanks

Hello, this approach is great, but how to pass request parameters?

I have searched long time in SO.
However I still dont know how to pass a customed Request object to app()->call() function.
Need help.

params

I do not try this, but I think it may work.
We must specify the controller method with injected Request $request, so we can generate a customed Request object, and then

$response = app(IndexController:class)->{'index'}($request)

Thus the $request object can pass to controller method.
The point, you cannot use request() helper function in your controller, It will create new Request, and cannot handler your input.
That's it.

I will try that approach, thanks.

$request = Illuminate\Http\Request(['params' => 'value', 'another_params' => 'another value']);
$controller = app()->make('App\Http\Controllers\SomeController');
app()->call([$controller, 'someMethod'], ['request' => $request]);

I am using this way to add request parameters and call controller.

1. add parameters

app()
  ->make('Illuminate\Http\Request')
  ->merge([
    'search' => 'hello',
  ]);

2. call controller

$controller = app()->make('App\Http\Controllers\SearchController');
app()->call([$controller, 'index']);

-- Class

class SearchController
{
    public function index(Request $request)
    {
        return $request->all();
        // returns ['search' => 'hello']
    }
}

What about this?

$request = (new \Illuminate\Http\Request)->replace(['foo' => 'bar'])
$response = (new App\Http\Controller\SearchController)->foo($request);
