Call a Controller method from a Command in Laravel - php

Question

I have a Command that is listening via Redis Pub/Sub. When a Publish is received, I want to call a controller method so that I can update the database.
However, I have not been able to find any solution on how to call a controller method with parameters from inside of the project but outside of the routes. The closest thing I have seen is something like:
return redirect()->action(
'TransactionController#assignUser', [
'transId' => $trans_id,
'userId' => $user_id
]);
My complete command that I've tried looks like this:
<?php
namespace App\Console\Commands;
use Illuminate\Console\Command;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Redis;
class RedisSubscribe extends Command
{
protected $signature = 'redis:subscribe';
protected $description = 'Subscribe to a Redis channel';
public function handle()
{
Redis::subscribe('accepted-requests', function ($request) {
$trans_array = json_decode($request);
$trans_id = $trans_array->trans_id;
$user_id = $trans_array->user_id;
$this->assignUser($trans_id, $user_id);
});
}
public function assignUser($trans_id, $user_id)
{
return redirect()->action(
'TransactionController#assignUser', [
'transId' => $trans_id,
'userId' => $user_id
]);
}
}
However, this does not seem to work. When I run this Command, I get an error that assignUser() cannot be found (even though it exists and is expecting two paramters). I am also not sure a "redirect" is really what I am after here.
Is there some other way to call a controller function in a Command, or some other way that would make this possible to do?

Answer 1

If your controller does not have any required parameters, you can just create the controller as a new object, and call the function.
$controller = new TransactionController();
$controller->assignUser([
'transId' => $trans_id,
'userId' => $user_id
]);
