Call a controller in Laravel 4

Question

In Laravel 3, you could call a controller using the Controller::call method, like so:

Controller::call('api.items@index', $params);

I looked through the Controller class in L4 and found this method which seems to replace the older method: callAction(). Though it isn't a static method and I couldn't get it to work. Probably not the right way to do it?

How can I do this in Laravel 4?

Answer 1

You may use IoC.

Try this:

App::make($controller)->{$action}(); 

Eg:

App::make('HomeController')->getIndex(); 

and you may also give params:

App::make('HomeController')->getIndex($params);
