How to call Service class function? - laravel

Question

use App\Http\Controllers\ATransaction;
use App\Service\ATransactionServices;
class TransactionController extends Controller {
public function ATransaction(Request $request, ATransactionServices $ATransaction){
try {
$validated_request = $this->validateRequest($request);
} catch (ValidationException $exception) {
return redirect()->back()->withInput()->withErrors($exception->errors());
}
How to call my service class function to replace into
$validated_request = $this->validateRequest($request);
Can someone show me the right way?

Answer 1

You can traits concepts or can directly use DI ( dependency Injection ) to implement service into this class.
For traits, you can check How to create traits in Laravel
And if you want to use Dependency Injection then do something like:
public function __construct(ATransactionServices $aTransactionServices)
{
$this->aTransactionServices = $aTransactionServices;
}
Then inside the method you can directly use the service methods:
$this->aTransactionServices->methodName();
If you want to use method inside the try and catch than simplest way is to add them in controller.
class TransactionController extends Controller {
//This will help in directly injecting the service into the container
public function __construct(ATransactionServices $aTransactionServices)
{
$this->aTransactionServices = $aTransactionServices;
}
//Otherwise you can create a custom request to handle validations on the request level
public function ATransaction(Request $request){
try {
$validated_request = $this->aTransactionServices->validateRequest($request);
//Here you can setup the validation mechanism like custom status based validation e.g. $validated_request['status'] which can be true or false otherwise use validator instance to use $validated_request->fails() to check
if($validated_request->fails()) {
//Here pass the data and you can handle on catch how you want to send response
throw new Exception('Exception details or validator instance');
}
} catch (Exception $exception) {
return redirect()->back()->withInput()->withErrors($exception->errors());
}
}
But if your only purpose is to handle the validations than you can use custom request in laravel for validations handling: Custom Request
Hope this works for you and resolves your issue.
have a great day.
