How to run a method in a controller using cron?

Question

Laravel

Such a task. You need to use cron to call a method in the controller that will carry out certain operations. How to implement it?

Answer 1

Why don't you like the queue?

Answer 2

Try like this:

app('App\Http\Controllers\PrintReportController')->getPrintReport();

Answer 3

Separate the code that does something in the controller method into a separate class, for example, in the App\Services namespace, which you put in the app\Services folder. Include it in both the controller constructor and the command constructor. And call the desired method with this functionality both in the controller and in the command.
All other methods, such as, God forgive me, calling a GET request from cron, are hellish shit code.
