How to Call a controller function in another controller Laravel

• Call a controller function from another controller in Laravel

  You can easily call a controller function using (new OtherController)->method() in another controller by importing controller class with use App\Http\Controllers\UserController; after namespace in controller.

  Syntax for calling controller method.

  $result = (new OtherController)->method();
  

  Example code:

  app\Http\Controllers\UserController.php

  <?php
  
  namespace App\Http\Controllers;
  
  use Illuminate\Http\Request;
  use App\Models\User;
  
  class UserController extends Controller
  {
      public function getUser(){
          return User::first();
      }
  }
  

  app\Http\Controllers\HomeController.php

  <?php
  
  namespace App\Http\Controllers;
  use Illuminate\Http\Request;
  use App\Http\Controllers\UserController;
  
  class HomeController extends Controller
  {
      public function getUserFromUserControllerMethod(){
          $result = (new UserController)->getUser();
          print_r($result);
      }
  }
  

  routes\web.php

  Route::get('/get-user', [HomeController::class, 'getUserFromUserControllerMethod']);
  

  Output:

  App\Models\User Object ( [fillable:protected] => Array ( [0] => name [1] => email [2] => password [3] => username ) [hidden:protected] => Array ( [0] => password [1] => remember_token ) [casts:protected] => Array ( [email_verified_at] => datetime ) [connection:protected] => mysql [table:protected] => users [primaryKey:protected] => id [keyType:protected] => int [incrementing] => 1 [with:protected] => Array ( ) [withCount:protected] => Array ( ) [preventsLazyLoading] => [perPage:protected] => 15 [exists] => 1 [wasRecentlyCreated] => [escapeWhenCastingToString:protected] => [attributes:protected] => Array ( [id] => 1 [name] => Mr. Jay Price Jr. [email] => ziemann.eldora@example.net [email_verified_at] => 2022-03-03 11:01:39 [password] => $2y$10$92IXUNpkjO0rOQ5byMi.Ye4oKoEa3Ro9llC/.og/at2.uheWG/igi [remember_token] => q0i9UhitUF [username] => [created_at] => 2022-03-03 11:01:39 [updated_at] => 2022-03-03 11:01:39 ) [original:protected] => Array ( [id] => 1 [name] => Mr. Jay Price Jr. [email] => ziemann.eldora@example.net [email_verified_at] => 2022-03-03 11:01:39 [password] => $2y$10$92IXUNpkjO0rOQ5byMi.Ye4oKoEa3Ro9llC/.og/at2.uheWG/igi [remember_token] => q0i9UhitUF [username] => [created_at] => 2022-03-03 11:01:39 [updated_at] => 2022-03-03 11:01:39 ) [changes:protected] => Array ( ) [classCastCache:protected] => Array ( ) [attributeCastCache:protected] => Array ( ) [dates:protected] => Array ( ) [dateFormat:protected] => [appends:protected] => Array ( ) [dispatchesEvents:protected] => Array ( ) [observables:protected] => Array ( ) [relations:protected] => Array ( ) [touches:protected] => Array ( ) [timestamps] => 1 [visible:protected] => Array ( ) [guarded:protected] => Array ( [0] => * ) [rememberTokenName:protected] => remember_token [accessToken:protected] => )
