Call Controller Function from Laravel Routes.php
Solution 1
As suggested from larauser you could move your myOrders() method to a model and call it statically. Here's an example
class Order extends Eloquent {
public static function myOrders($user)
{
// DB call here
}
}
Then in your route you could do
Route::post('order/(:num)', function($user)
{
$userOrders = Order::myOrders($user);
// Do stuff here
});
I'm guessing you're passing the user ID that's the reason i'm using (:num) in the route.
Hope that helps.

There is another way that I have used, maybe incorrectly, but it might work for you.
$userOrders = Controller::call('order@myOrders', array($thisUser))->content
For more information and how to use it check out the documentation for the Controller class.
Solution 3
the myOrders function should probably go in your orders model since its working with data access. Then, to call it you'd do Orders::myOrders($user).
Solution 4
Easier way is call controller as class
Route::post( 'post', function() use ($user) {
return (new OrderController)->myOrders($user);
});
Solution 5
Routes.php
//Handle a new order POST
Route::post('orders/(:num)', function($user) {
...
... //HANDLE POST DATA AND INSERT NEW ORDER
...
});
Route::get('orders', function($user) {
//GET ALL ORDERS FOR THIS USER FROM ORDER MODEL
$userOrders = Order::myOrders($user)->get();
});
application/models/Order.php
class Order extends Eloquent
{
public function myOrders($user_id)
{
return Order::where_user_id($user_id);
}
}

I have a function in my
Orders_Controller
in Laravel called getOrders($user). It calls a raw DB query and builds a JSON array to return.I cannot figure out how to call this function from within my routes file.
Basically I receive a POST in the routes, insert the new Order, then I want to call getOrders(user) from this Routes function to get all the existing Orders for the given user.
Can someone help me figure out how to call this function from within Routes.php?
Routes.php
//Handle a new order POST Route::post('order', array('do' => function() { ... ... //HANDLE POST DATA AND INSERT NEW ORDER ... //GET ALL ORDERS FOR THIS USER FROM ORDER CONTROLLER $userOrders = Order_Controller::myOrders($thisUser); }
order.php (in Controllers folder)
class Order_Controller extends Base_Controller { public function myOrders($user){ return DB::query("SELECT ..."); } }
