How to call an Artisan command from a route In Laravel

In Laravel, you can call an Artisan command from a route using the Artisan facade. Here is an example of how to do this:

Contents hide

1 Create an Artisan command using the make:command Artisan command:

2 In the newly created ExampleCommand class, define the logic for the command.

3 In your routes/web.php file, define a route that calls the Artisan command:

Create an Artisan command using the make:command Artisan command:

php artisan make:command ExampleCommand

In the newly created ExampleCommand class, define the logic for the command.

class ExampleCommand extends Command
{
    protected $signature = 'example:run';
    protected $description = 'Run the example command';

    public function handle()
    {
        $this->info('Example command run successfully!');
    }
}

In your routes/web.php file, define a route that calls the Artisan command:

Route::get('example', function () {
    \Artisan::call('example:run');
    return 'Example command run successfully!';
});

Now, when you visit http://your-app.test/example in your browser, the Artisan command example:run will be executed and you will see the message “Example command run successfully!” displayed.

Note: Replace your-app.test with the actual URL of your Laravel application.
