Run artisan command in laravel 5

Apart from within another command, I am not really sure I can think of a good reason to do this. But if you really want to call a Laravel command from a controller (or model, etc.) then you can use Artisan::call()

Artisan::call('email:send', [
        'user' => 1, '--queue' => 'default'
]);

One interesting feature that I wasn't aware of until I just Googled this to get the right syntax is Artisan::queue(), which will process the command in the background (by your queue workers):

Route::get('/foo', function () {
    Artisan::queue('email:send', [
        'user' => 1, '--queue' => 'default'
    ]);
    //
});

If you are calling a command from within another command you don't have to use the Artisan::call method - you can just do something like this:

public function handle()
{
    $this->call('email:send', [
        'user' => 1, '--queue' => 'default'
    ]);
    //
}

If you have simple job to do you can do it from route file. For example you want to clear cache. In terminal it would be php artisan cache:clear In route file that would be:

Route::get('clear_cache', function () {

    \Artisan::call('cache:clear');

    dd("Cache is cleared");

});

To run this command from browser just go to your's project route and to clear_cache. Example:

http://project_route/clear_cache

You need to remove php artisan part and put parameters into an array to make it work:

public function store(Request $request)
{
   Artisan::call("infyom:scaffold", ['name' => $request['name'], '--fieldsFile' => 'public/Product.json']);
}
