I'm trying to get to grips with Laravel and not finding the documentation any help at all. It seems to assume you know so much instead of actually walking new users through each section step by step.
I've got to the point where I need to make an internal call to another class, and sticking with MVC I can't seem to do what should be a simple thing.
My code:
class UsersController extends BaseController {
protected $layout = 'layouts.templates.page';
protected $messages;
public function getIndex()
{
$input = array('where', array('field' => 'email', 'operator' => '=', 'value' => 'tony@fluidstudiosltd.com'));
$request = Request::create('user/read', 'GET');
$users = json_decode(Route::dispatch($request)->getContent());
var_dump($users); exit;
$this->pageTitle = 'Fluid Customer Status :: Admin Users';
$this->content = View::make('layouts.admin.users');
}
}
Class UserController extends Base Controller
public function getRead()
{
$userId = (int) Request::segment(3);
if ($userId)
{
$user = User::findOrFail($userId);
return $user;
}
else
{
$users = new User;
var_dump(Input::all()); exit;
if (Input::has('where'))
{
var_dump(Input::get('where')); exit;
}
return $users->get();
}
}
Why isn't the input data from UsersController@getIndex available in UserController@getRead
