Currently my HomeController looks like this:
class HomeController extends BaseController {
public function getHome()
{
$scripts = Script::select('script.*', DB::raw('COALESCE(SUM(vote.rating), 0) as rating'))
->leftJoin('script_vote as vote', 'vote.script_id', '=', 'script.id')
->with('tags')
->orderBy('rating', 'desc')
->orderBy('views', 'desc')
->groupBy('id')
->paginate(8);
return View::make('home')->with('scripts', $scripts);
}
public function postSearch()
{
$input = array(
'query' => Input::get('query'),
'sort_col' => Input::get('sort_col'),
'sort_dir' => Input::get('sort_dir'),
);
$scripts = Script::select('script.*', DB::raw('COALESCE(SUM(vote.rating), 0) as rating'))
->leftJoin('script_vote as vote', 'vote.script_id', '=', 'script.id')
->where('title', 'LIKE', '%' . $input['query'] . '%')
->orderBy($input['sort_col'], $input['sort_dir'])
->orderBy('views', 'desc')
->groupBy('id')
->with('tags')
->paginate(8);
Input::flash();
return View::make('home')->with('scripts', $scripts);
}
}
As you can see, I'm using (almost) the same big query twice. I would like to call the postSearch()
function within the getHome()
function and give the three parameters (query = '', sort_col = 'rating', sort_dir = 'desc') with it. Is this possible?
