I am trying to figure out how i can pass a variable from one function to another in controller but, now i am getting null in the second function.
In this function i am able to get the variables very well from a view.
public function getData(Request $request)
{
$user = $request->user;
$amount = $request->amount;
$phone = $request->phone;
$make = $request->make;
}
now I want to use $request->phone and make something like this in the second function :
public function passData(Request $request)
{
$phone = $request->phone;//but from getData
$make = $request->make;
}
Any help will be highly appreciated
You have to call function from where you pass variable. Like if you want pass data from getData function you call passData function.
public function getData(Request $request)
{
$user = $request->user;
$amount = $request->amount;
$phone = $request->phone;
$make = $request->make;
$this->passData($request);
}
and received data in pass function.
public function passData($request)
{
$phone = $request->phone;//but from getData
$make = $request->make;
}
If the phone is in a different controller, you have to import the controller and just use the variable phone by tappinh the Controller name and linked it with the phone variable. But if the phone var is in the same file, I guess you can just use the phone variable right away.
class DynamicDependent extends Controller
{
function fetch(Request $request)
{
$value = "home";
$value2 = Lang::get('home.'.$value.'');
}
}
output :'home.home'.
But i need value from language file.
please guide me to get this.
It seems like you are trying to get a translation. For that you can use the trans helper method like this:
//In your resources/lang/{some_lang_code}/home.php
return [
'home' => 'My translation',
];
//In your controller
$value = "home";
$value2 = trans('home.'.$value); //My translation
I try to pass a variable based on a cookie value in my compose function to all my view to build my menu, with the use of serviceproviders recommmended here:
File: Providers/ViewComposerServiceProvicer.php
public function boot(Request $request) { $this->composeTopBar($request);}
public function composeTopBar(Request $request)
{
$cookieValue = $request->cookie('brand');
// if value not set use default value.
if($cookieValue == null)
{
$cookieValue = 1;
}
$brands = \App\Brand::orderBy('priority', 'asc')->get();
foreach($brands as $brand){
if($brand->id == $cookieValue){
$brand->menuActive = true;
}
else{
// show value to debug
$brand->menuActive = $cookieValue;
}
}
view()->composer('front.layouts.top', function ($view) use ($brands) {
$view->with('brandItems',$brands );
});
}
the cookieValue looks like
yJpdiI6IlNJODBvQ1RNM004OWVleyJpdiI6IlNJODBvQ1RNM004OWVleyJpdiI6IlNJODBvQ1RNM004OWVl
While the value in my controller looks like '2' How can i get the original value 2 in my compose function?
I need to get the original value to compare it in my composeTopBar function so I can pass a variable to be true if it equals the cookie value.
Method to set cookie
$response = response()-> view('front.products.category', compact('products','category'));
$response->withCookie(cookie()->forever('brand',1));
return $response;
I ended up using a class based composer .
The reason why this works is because it's called later in the lifecycle of laravel and the Cookie variables are decrypted. When using Closure based composers the values are encrypted.
Try this: put the view() call as a parameter to response().
$response = response(view('front.products.category', compact('products','category')));
$response->withCookie(cookie()->forever('brand', 1));
return $response;
In laravel, if I want to pass parameters to a controller in my route file
Route::get('user/sk/{id}' , 'UsersController#findsk');
If I want to pass default parameters:
Route::get('user/{name?}', function ($name = 'John') {
// how do I invoke my controller here?
return $name;
});
How do I merge the two things? Is there a shortcut?
Route::get('user/sk/{id}' , 'UsersController#findsk'
// can I add an array of default parameters here?
);
As far as I know, there is no shortcut, unfortunately.
To inject one optional parameter:
Route::get('user/{name?}', function ($name = 'John') {
$ctrl = new \App\Http\Controllers\UsersController();
return $ctrl->findsk($name);
});
To inject one optional parameter with more parameters:
Assuming you had an $id param and that UsersController#findsk accepts $id and $name.
Route::get('user/{id}/{name?}', function ($id, $name = 'John') {
$ctrl = new \App\Http\Controllers\UsersController();
return $ctrl->findsk($id, $name);
});
To inject something in the controller from the router:
Assuming want to use a url as a switch.
Route::get('my-special-url', function () {
$ctrl = new \App\Http\Controllers\UsersController();
return $ctrl->findsk(1, 'Paul');
});
You can pass as a default parameter to function in your controller like just normal function
Route::get('user/sk/{id}' , 'UsersController#findsk');
in UsersController
function findsk($id ='myVal'){
}
I'd like to create a route that takes a required ID, and optional start and end dates ('Ymd'). If dates are omitted, they fall back to a default. (Say last 30 days) and call a controller....lets say 'path#index'
Route::get('/path/{id}/{start?}/{end?}', function($id, $start=null, $end=null)
{
if(!$start)
{
//set start
}
if(!$end)
{
//set end
}
// What is the syntax that goes here to call 'path#index' with $id, $start, and $end?
});
There is no way to call a controller from a Route:::get closure.
Use:
Route::get('/path/{id}/{start?}/{end?}', 'Controller#index');
and handle the parameters in the controller function:
public function index($id, $start = null, $end = null)
{
if (!$start) {
// set start
}
if (!$end) {
// set end
}
// do other stuff
}
This helped me simplify the optional routes parameters (From Laravel Docs):
Occasionally you may need to specify a route parameter, but make the presence of that route parameter optional. You may do so by placing a ? mark after the parameter name. Make sure to give the route's corresponding variable a default value:
Route::get('user/{name?}', function ($name = null) {
return $name;
});
Route::get('user/{name?}', function ($name = 'John') {
return $name;
});
Or if you have a controller call action in your routes then you could do this:
web.php
Route::get('user/{name?}', 'UsersController#index')->name('user.index');
userscontroller.php
public function index($name = 'John') {
// Do something here
}
I hope this helps someone simplify the optional parameters as it did me!
Laravel 5.6 Routing Parameters - Optional parameters
I would handle it with three paths:
Route::get('/path/{id}/{start}/{end}, ...);
Route::get('/path/{id}/{start}, ...);
Route::get('/path/{id}, ...);
Note the order - you want the full path checked first.
Route::get('user/{name?}', function ($name = null) {
return $name;
});
Find more details here (Laravel 7) : https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/routing#parameters-optional-parameters
You can call a controller action from a route closure like this:
Route::get('{slug}', function ($slug, Request $request) {
$app = app();
$locale = $app->getLocale();
// search for an offer with the given slug
$offer = \App\Offer::whereTranslation('slug', $slug, $locale)->first();
if($offer) {
$controller = $app->make(\App\Http\Controllers\OfferController::class);
return $controller->callAction('show', [$offer, $campaign = NULL]);
} else {
// if no offer is found, search for a campaign with the given slug
$campaign = \App\Campaign::whereTranslation('slug', $slug, $locale)->first();
if($campaign) {
$controller = $app->make(\App\Http\Controllers\CampaignController::class);
return $controller->callAction('show', [$campaign]);
}
}
throw new \Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\NotFoundHttpException;
});
What I did was set the optional parameters as query parameters like so:
Example URL:
/getStuff/2019-08-27?type=0&color=red
Route:
Route::get('/getStuff/{date}','Stuff\StuffController#getStuff');
Controller:
public function getStuff($date)
{
// Optional parameters
$type = Input::get("type");
$color = Input::get("color");
}
Solution to your problem without much changes
Route::get('/path/{id}/{start?}/{end?}', function($id, $start=null, $end=null)
{
if(empty($start))
{
$start = Carbon::now()->subDays(30)->format('Y-m-d');
}
if(empty($end))
{
$end = Carbon::now()->subDays(30)->format('Y-m-d');
}
return App\Http\Controllers\HomeController::Path($id,$start,$end);
});
and then
class HomeController extends Controller
{
public static function Path($id, $start, $end)
{
return view('view');
}
}
now the optimal approach is
use App\Http\Controllers\HomeController;
Route::get('/path/{id}/{start?}/{end?}', [HomeController::class, 'Path']);
then
class HomeController extends Controller
{
public function Path(Request $request)
{
if(empty($start))
{
$start = Carbon::now()->subDays(30)->format('Y-m-d');
}
if(empty($end))
{
$end = Carbon::now()->subDays(30)->format('Y-m-d');
}
//your code
return view('view');
}
}
