Missing argument 1 for App\Http\Controllers\CustomerController::postOptOut() - php

Question

I'm looking for some advice as to how I might clean up these two methods and resolve this error? Right now, the getOptOut() is making a GET request to the API to obtain an email_token and returning the view and postOptOut() is making a POST request, with the email_token from the GET, and allowing a "customer" to opt out of the mailing list and then redirecting to customer home.
public function getOptOut(EmailOptingRequest $request)
{
$customer = Customer::find(Auth::id());
$email = $customer['attributes']['Email'];
$token = "9asdfj48asdj48adja4r8";
$client = new Client();
$res = $client->request('GET',
'https://www.example.com/api/Services/Email/Opting', [
'headers' => [
'Accept' => 'application/json',
'Authorization' => 'Bearer ' . $token
],
'email' => $email,
'http_errors' => false // add this to return errors in json
]);
$emailToken = json_decode($res->getBody()->getContents(), true);
$this->postOptOut($emailToken);
return view('customer.email-opting', array(
'customer' => $customer,
'email' => $email,
'token' => $token,
'client' => $client,
'res' => $res,
'emailToken' => $emailToken
));
}
public function postOptOut($emailToken)
{
$customer = Customer::find(Auth::id());
$email_token = $emailToken[0]['token'];
$client = new Client();
$res = $client->request('POST', 'https://www.example.com/api/Services/Email/Opting', [
'email_token' => $email_token,
'category' => 'promotional',
'status' => false
]);
return view('customer.show', array(
'customer' => $customer,
'email_token' => $email_token,
'client' => $client,
'res' => $res ))
->with('success', 'You were removed from our mailing list.');
}
And my routes:
Route::get( 'customer/email-opting', 'CustomerController#getOptOut');
Route::post( 'customer/post-opt-out', 'CustomerController#postOptOut');
The hard coded token is temporary. I'm running into issues with the timing of the GET and POST calls and when the views are returning. Thanks!

Answer 1

public function postOptOut(Request $request)
{
$customer = Customer::find(Auth::id());
$email_token = $request->emailToken[0]['token']; // this way you will get token
$client = new Client();
$res = $client->request('POST', 'https://www.example.com/api/Services/Email/Opting', [
'email_token' => $email_token,
'category' => 'promotional',
'status' => false
]);
return view('customer.show', array(
'customer' => $customer,
'email_token' => $email_token,
'client' => $client,
'res' => $res ))
->with('success', 'You were removed from our mailing list.');
}
Try this
