Passing return data to another function in same controller laravel - laravel

Question

Try to connect to external API.
In first function, I already received token with authentication.
To send POST request, I need to put xtoken that I received from first function as second function.
I don't know how to send value to second function (registerUser)
Route::get('/connect', 'Guzzlecontroller#registerUser')->name('registeruser');
this is my route file
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use GuzzleHttp\Exception\GuzzleException;
use GuzzleHttp\Client;
use App\Http\Controllers\Auth\RegisterController;
class GuzzleController extends Controller
{
public function Gettoken()
{
$client = new \GuzzleHttp\Client();
$request = $client->get(
'http://api01.oriental-game.com:8085/token',
[
'headers' => [
'X-Operator' => 'mog189b',
'X-key' => 'sQxAVNaEMe0TCHhU',
]
]
);
$response = $request->getBody();
$tokenReturn = json_decode($response, true);
$xtoken = array("x-token:" . $tokenReturn['data']['token'],);
$this->registerUser($xtoken);
}
public function registerUser($xtoken)
{
$client = new \GuzzleHttp\Client();
$url = "http://api01.oriental-game.com:8085/register";
$request = $client->post($url, [
'headers' => $xtoken,
'body' => [
'username' => 'test1',
'country' => 'Korea',
'fullname' => 'test user1',
'language' => 'kr',
'email' => 'testuser1#test.com',
]
]);
$response = $request->send();
dd($response);
}
}
Too few arguments to function App\Http\Controllers\GuzzleController::registerUser(), 0 passed and exactly 1 expected
this is error I am getting.
please help me to how to send $xtoken value to registerUser function

Answer 1

The problem is Laravel is calling registerUser directly instead of going through getToken. So the token is never retrieved and passed to the register action.
Instead of calling registerUser() from Gettoken(). Have Gettoken() return the token and call it from registerUser()
public function Gettoken()
{
...
return $xtoken;
}
public function registerUser()
{
$xtoken = $this->Gettoken();
...
}
