Hi,

How can I access one controller from other?

I have 2 controllers called Myapp::Controller::User and
Myapp::Controller::Admin

In Myapp::Controller::User I have following method.

sub user_list :Path Args:(0) {
?? some function to display all the users.
}

Myapp::Controller::Admin has following method

sub users :Path Args(0) {
? Here I want to display all users by calling Myapp::Controller::User
? $c->controller('Myapp::Controller::User')->user_list is not working
}

any suggestion?

Thanks

Don't abuse your Controller as a model.
Controllers ideally only contain logic important for the GUI flow.
Returning a list of users should be provided by a models method.

Yes, other controller has just logic it use a model to get user list from
database.
However, I forgot to pass $c context. it is working as following

$c->controller('User')->users($c);

Thanks

It's still wrong to call a method on another controller to get a list of
users.
You should definitely read more about MVC.
