I'm calling the endpoint that routes to methodIWantToTest like so:
$response = $this->json('GET', 'my/endpoint/');
I'm attaching the code below, any ideas how I can mock the call to the second method?
Thanks.
class MyController extends Controller
{
public function methodIWantToTest():
{
//some code to test
$this->methodIWantToMock()
//some more code to test
}
public function methodIWantToMock():
{
//mock this response
}
}
I don't know if I understand your question correctly but you're already doing it.
I don't know also why you're using ':' after the '()' in function and you need semicolon after you call the method you want to call
class MyController extends Controller
{
public function methodIWantToTest()
{
//some code to test
$this->methodIWantToMock();
//some more code to test
}
public function methodIWantToMock()
{
//mock this response
}
}
you can also pass value if you want just do this
class MyController extends Controller
{
public function methodIWantToTest()
{
//some code to test
$this->methodIWantToMock($value);
//some more code to test
}
public function methodIWantToMock($value)
{
//mock this response
}
}

I'm inside a Laravel controller. I only want the init() method to fire once. What actually happens is, it fires every time I run the controller/methods via a browser?
class MyController extends Controller
{
public function __construct()
{
static $init_called = false;
if(!$init_called){
$init_called = true;
$this->init();
}
}
public function init()
{
// initialize code here, execute 'once' only
}
public function routeOne(){}
public function routeTwo(){}
}
One solution is to store a value on session or on database. This value allow you to know if the function has already been called.
Then check the value at the top of the method every time it's is fired.
if it's true you can proceed to the normal instructions else you exit the function.
Since Http is a stateless protocol I'm probably attempting something outside of the realms of possibility. As a workaround, I used the following:-
// Call this route once only
Route::get('/init', [MyController::class, 'init'])->name('initialize');
class MyController extends Controller
{
public function init()
{
MyModel::persistData();
}
}
class MyModel extends Model
{
private $data;
public static function persistData()
{
$data = ['some data'];
MyModel::insert($data);
}
}
I am new to laravel. I am having a doubt how to call other function inside the same controller and return the processed values to the function by which it has been invoked. I have tried this similar to C language but the code doesn't works
class AgreementsApiController extends Controller
{
public function store($th_id,$mv_id,$wk1_terms,$wk2_terms,$wk3_terms)
{
//make a function call here to add function similar to
$result=add($th_id,$mv_id);
}
public function add($th_id,$mv_id)
{ //process the parameters and return to store function
$r=$th_id+$mv_id;
return $r;
}
}
In your store function
$result=$this->add($th_id,$mv_id);
and thats it.
I have multiple controllers, with multiple methods, which all return views.
class PageController extends Controller {
public function index()
{
// do lots of stuff
return view('view.name', $lotsOfStuffArray);
}
public function list()
{
//...and so on
}
I now have the need to create an API, which performs much of the same logic as the methods above, but returns a JSON output instead:
class PageApiController extends Controller {
public function index()
{
// do lots of the same stuff
return $lotsOfStuffCollection;
}
public function list()
{
//...and so on
}
What is the best way to accomplish this without having to copy and paste code from one controller to the other?
I've tried placing a lot of the logic into traits and using them in my Eloquent models, but that still requires that I copy and paste code from controller to controller. I should also note its not viable to check expectsJson() and return a response accordingly as I have many, many methods.
Is it a good idea to have the logic stored in a parent class and then create a child controller that responds with a view and a child controller that responds with JSON?
You could abstract the logic to a service class. I have answered a similar question.
You have PageController, PageAPIController and PageService.
class PageService {
public function doStuff()
{
return $stuff;
}
}
class PageController extends Controller {
public function index()
{
$service = new PageService();
$stuff = $service->doStuff();
return $stuff;
}
}
class PageAPIController extends Controller {
public function index()
{
$service = new PageService();
$stuff = $service->doStuff();
return $stuff->toJSON();
}
protected function toJSON(){
//You could also abstract that to a service or a trait.
}
}
I am new into Phalcon framework. I just got the basic idea about it. Every controller has methods with multiple specific actions. I wrote a huge indexAction method but now I want to break it down with multiple private method so that I can reuse those functionality. But when I try to create any method without action suffix, it returns error(Page Not Found). How can I break it down into multiple methods?
<?php
use Phalcon\Mvc\Controller;
class PostsController extends Controller
{
public function indexAction()
{
$this->someMethod();
}
public function someMethod()
{
//do your things
}
}
Controllers must have the suffix “Controller” while actions the suffix “Action”. A sample of a controller is as follows:
<?php
use Phalcon\Mvc\Controller;
class PostsController extends Controller
{
public function indexAction()
{
}
public function showAction($year, $postTitle)
{
}
}
For calling another method, you would use it straight forward
<?php
use Phalcon\Mvc\Controller;
class PostsController extends Controller
{
public function indexAction()
{
echo $this->showAction();
}
private function showAction()
{
return "show";
}
}
Docs.
What exactly do you want? The answer seems trivial to me.
class YourController extends Phalcon\Mvc\Controller
{
// this method can be called externally because it has the "Action" suffix
public function indexAction()
{
$this->customStuff('value');
$this->more();
}
// this method is only used inside this controller
private function customStuff($parameter)
{
}
private function more()
{
}
}
I know this is MVC structure incompatible but i need to use this technique:
I have a controller and a model.
I'm calling a function in model from controller.
Model called function calles controllers another function. (This is what generates error).
Example below:
Controller:
public function B($ret=false) {
if(!$ret)$this->Model_model->M($ret);
else echo 'ok';
}
Model:
public function M($ret=false) {
$this->N($ret);
}
private function N($ret=false) {
$this->Controller->B(!$ret); //i can't find how can i call this
}
My first trigger function is:
$this->Controller->B(false);
I've moved code in function B of controller to the Model completely and now everything is going in model itself. B function calling another B function in model and at last step model isn't need to call controller; it is calling B function in Model:
Controller:
public function B($ret=false) {
$this->Model_model->B($ret);
}
Model:
public function B($ret){
if(!$ret)$this->M($ret);
else echo 'ok';
}
private function M($ret=false) {
$this->N($ret);
}
private function N($ret=false) {
$this-B(!$ret);
}
My first trigger function is:
$this->B(false);
And my controller is still has short code.
