Sometimes you might need to run an artisan command from the Laravel codebase itself and that's possible by using the "Artisan" facade helper. Let's say you have a command to "generate laravel sitemap" and you want it to be triggered from the "web routes" when you access a certain route, you can do it like the code example below.
Console Command
Create a console command by running the "artisan make:command" in your terminal.
Console Command
Create a console command by running the "artisan make:command" in your terminal.
php artisan make:command GenerateSitemap
The content of the console command class should be as follows. Anytime the you run "site:generate-sitemap" command, the generate sitemap jobs will be dispatched and the sitemap will be generated.
<?php
namespace App\Console\Commands;
use Illuminate\Console\Command;
class GenerateSitemap extends Command {
protected $signature = 'site:generate-sitemap';
protected $description = 'Generate sitemap file';
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
}
public function handle()
{
$this->info('Generating sitemap');
\App\Jobs\GenerateSitemap::dispatch();
return 0;
}
}Route File
To call and execute it from the routes file you can use the "Artisan" facade.
# /routes/web.php
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Artisan;
Route::get('/generate-sitemap, function () {
Artisan::call("site:generate-sitemap");
});When you define the artisan command like the code above, it will be equivalent to writing "php artisan site:generate-sitemap" on the terminal.
php artisan site:generate-sitemap
So now when you visit "/generate-sitemap" path, the console command will be run and the sitemap will be generated.
