I have a method with a lot of code
public function createNewObject(Request $request) { // Code... } There is another method that I plan to call, but how to pass it to the createNewObject method as a Request argument?
public function deleteAndCreateObject() { $this->createNewObject(???); } Just type-hint it in your deleteAndCreateObject() method.
class YourController { public function createNewObject(Request $request) { // Code... } public function deleteAndCreateObject(Request $request) { $this->createNewObject($request); } } If that—for some reason—doesn't work for you, you can always use request():
class YourController { public function createNewObject() { $request = request(); // Code... } public function deleteAndCreateObject() { $this->createNewObject(); } }
