如何在Laravel中运行异步脚本？

Question

I have a controller, lets say 'Foo' controller with function 'index' that takes a long time to execute.

I have a another controller, 'Bar' controller in which i want to process / call the 'index' function in the 'Foo' controller asynchronously.

class BarController extends \BaseController {
    public function index()
    {
        // call the Foo controller here
    }
}

Is there a way to call the 'index' function in the 'Foo' controller asynchronously?

This is exactly what Laravel Queues are for. Move your command into a library somewhere, and call a method to 'queue' the command. Then it will be executed while your original controller can return to the user.
