I have UserController and PetController.
In my UserController, I have rewardUser() method.
in my PetController, I'm using the $user variable which indicates the current logged in user.
How I can run my rewardUser() method from my PetController?
I've been trying to user $user->rewardUser(); but for some reasons its not recognizing my method this way.
"Call to undefined method Illuminate\Database\Query\Builder::rewardUser()"
The best way is to use a trait.
Create a trait file, in App\Common.php, for e.g. Then copy the rewardUser() method to the trait.
Your trait file:
namespace App\Forum;
trait Common {
public function rewardUser() {
// Your code here...
}
}
Then in yourUserController.php and PetController.php, use the trait.
// UserController and PetController.php
namespace App\Http\Controllers
use App\Common; // <- Your trait
class UserController extends Controller {
use Common // <- Your trait
public function doSomething() {
// Call the method from both your controllers now.
$this-rewardUser();
}
}
You can use the straight in as many controllers as you want and you can call the method in the straight using $this->methodName().
Very simply and effective.
It seems like you are missing some structure concepts, but if you really need it, you may use the container to do so:
$userController = app()->make(UserController::class);
return app()->call([$userController, 'rewardUser']);
may be you should define the method rewardUser() in the User Model and import it with use App\User
