Laravel: Load method in another controller without changing the url

Question

I have this route: Route::controller(\'/\', \'PearsController\'); Is it possible in Laravel to get the PearsController to load a method from another controller

Answer 1

You can use (L3 only)

Controller::call('ApplesController@getSomething');

In L4 you can use

$request = Request::create('/apples', 'GET', array());
return Route::dispatch($request)->getContent();

In this case, you have to define a route for ApplesController, something like this

Route::get('/apples', 'ApplesController@getSomething'); // in routes.php

In the array() you can pass arguments if required.
