Executing seed command dynamically through controller in Laravel

Question

I'm trying to build a small application on Laravel with modular approach, I am having a controller method which seeds the database as per the module/plugin name:

I have something like this:

Artisan::call('db:seed --class=Nitseditor\\Plugins\\'.$pluginName.'\\Databases\\seeds\\InstallSeeder');

Whenever I am calling this I am getting this error in my console.

Class NitseditorPluginsConfidenceDatabasesseedsInstallSeeder does not exist

I don't know why it remove \ and concatenate the strings.

How can I achieve this?

HOw did you create the seeder? have you tried composer dump-autoload? — ggdx

@ggdx I already did composer dump-autoload. I created the seeder manually as it belongs to one of the modules in my application. — Nitish Kumar

Try "db:seed --class=Nitseditor\Plugins\$pluginName\Databases\seeds\InstallSeeder" (quotes, not apostrophies) — ggdx

Try --class="Nitseditor\Plugins\XXX\Databases..." instead. — user5446912

@KFoobar It will give Too many arguments, expected arguments "command". — Nitish Kumar

You can do:

$fullClassName = "Nitseditor\\Plugins\\${pluginName}\\Databases\\seeds\\InstallSeeder";

Artisan::call("db:seed", ['--class' => $class]);
