Call Laravel controller action from Job handler, with dependency injections

Question

I have middleware that put task in a queue, passing $actionName and GET/POST parameters to Job constructor. This code:

$actionName = last(explode('@', $request->route()->getActionName()));
$arguments = $request->query->all();
$job = new HandleApiRequest($actionName, $arguments);
dispatch($job);

And then, in Job handler, I'd like to call Controller method with passed arguments(arguments initialized in Job constructor, don't worry about that). Here is a code:

$data = app()->call(ApiController::class . '@' . $this->method, $this->arguments);

The problem, is that I cannot use Request object(Illuminate\Http\Request) in called Controller and it's services. Seems like controller goes to infinite loop, and in it services it's just empty. Then I see this logs in console from worker:

[Illuminate\Contracts\Container\BindingResolutionException]                                                      
  Target [App\Http\Requests\Request] is not instantiable while building [App\Http\Controllers\Api\ApiController].  

The question is, how can I properly initialize Request object in Job handler?

Thanks!

Answer 1

The solution was to inject Request object into handler method, and fill it with data passed from middleware:

class HandleApiRequest extends Job implements ShouldQueue
{
    use InteractsWithQueue, SerializesModels;

    private $method;
    private $arguments;

    public function __construct(string $method, array $arguments)
    {
        $this->method = $method;
        $this->arguments = $arguments;


    }

    public function handle(ErrorService $error_service, Request $request)
    {
        /*
         * Fill our empty request object with arguments passed by middleware.
         * It's later will be used in controller and services.
         */
        $request->query->add($this->arguments);
        $data = app()->call(ApiController::class . '@' . $this->method);

        //use $data here
    }

}

Hope it will be useful for somebody, otherwise I'll delete this whole thread later.
