How i can run command by run schedule and by button also?

Question

I have created commands in kernel.php which is running twiceDaily(). I also want to attach it with button so I can run this command by clicking on that button. When I click on on button it should run at that moment.

Currently, I have just created twiceDaily command I need better way to implement button idea.

kernel.php

protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
{
    $schedule->job(new \App\Jobs\ResendAttachment)->twiceDaily(1, 13);
}

I want to run command by cron job on server and by button also.

Answer 1

What you are doing now is scheduling a job to run twice daily. However, you can also manually dispatch a job to run at that instance (or as soon as a runner is free to handle your job).

You can create a controller action so that when the button is clicked, the controller dispatch the job. For example,

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Jobs\ResendAttachment;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;

class ExampleController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Resend attachment.
     *
     * @param  Request  $request
     * @return Response
     */
    public function resendAttachment(Request $request)
    {
        ResendAttachment::dispatch();
    }
}
