How to call a method of controller with cron in laravel

In this tutorial we are going to learn how to call a method of controll through CRON and schedule them. Now create a contoller and a function inside that controller. In this tutorial we will create a user every minute using laravel CRON schedule. So first we will create a usersController. See below example:–

Create a Controller

 'First Name',
                'last_name' => 'Last Name',
                'email' => rand().'user@vrsoftcoder.com',
                'password' => \Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash::make('laravue'),
            ]);

	     if($user){
	     	echo "User Successfully Created!";
	     }
	}

}

Create a User Model

To insert users we need to create a model and four fields in our users table as describe below:-

 'datetime',
    ];
}

Create a Route

In next step we need to create a route to run the the function. Then we will call this route through CURL in laravel schedule function.

Route::get('/createusers','users@CreateUsers');

Set CRON

In final setup call our route in schedule function like below. CRON will hit this route every minute to create a new user.

call(function () {

                $ch = curl_init();
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://localhost/blog/public/createusers");
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
                curl_exec($ch);
                curl_close($ch);
            })->everyMinute();
    }

    /**
     * Register the commands for the application.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    protected function commands()
    {
        $this->load(__DIR__.'/Commands');

        require base_path('routes/console.php');
    }
}

Now run below command to run the CRON:-

php artisan schedule:run

You have successfully create the users through CRON. Check below screenshot:-
