I have multiple users in my system, so I want a manager User with different dashboard.
My Controller look like this:
-Dashboard
->AdminDashboardController
->UserDashboardController
In my AdminDashboardController I have 2 function
public function countAllUser()
{
$cards = User::count();
return response()->json(['cards' => $cards]);
}
public function totalSales()
{
return 'Hello';
}
And In My DashboardController Like this
public function index(Request $request)
{
$adminUser = auth()->user()->roles->pluck('name')->toArray();
if($adminUser[0] === 'administrator') {
return (new AdminDashboardController())->countAllUser();
}
}
yes, its work, but if I tried something like this
return (new AdminDashboardController())->countAllUser()->totalSales();
It doesn’t work and I think this doesn’t make sense either..
Is there a way I can achieve this?? Thanks…
You should create Action/Helper/Service Class but if you want to return controller methods you will need to do something like
return response([
'user_count' => (new AdminDashboardController())->countAllUser(),
'sales' => (new AdminDashboardController())->totalSales(),
]);
Answer：
Although call controller method from another controller is not a good practice ,you should use service.
But if you really want to do this , you can do it by
\App::call('App\Http\Controllers\AdminDashboardController@countAllUser');
or
(new AdminDashboardController())->countAllUser();
or
app(\App\Http\Controllers\AdminDashboardController::class)->countAllUser();
Your code
return (new AdminDashboardController())->countAllUser()->totalSales();
didn’t work because
(new AdminDashboardController())->countAllUser() returns a \Illuminate\Http\JsonResponse instance , you should call totalSales on an controller instance
