How to send response from another function without redirecting Laravel












1















I have a route like this



Route::get('/downloadReport', 'ReportsController@downloadPdf')->name('downloadReport');


In ReportsController in the function downloadPdf I want to switch respond function as based on input parameter reportType



public function downloadPdf(Request $request){
$id = $request->input('reportType');
// some statements are there
switch($id){
case 1:
$this->createReportType1($jobId, $cusName);
break;
}
}


and the response should be delivered to the user via this function



public function createReportType1($jobId, $cusName){
$pdf = PDF::loadView('reports.reports',
compact(
'jobId',
'cusName'
)
);

return $pdf->download('invoice.pdf');
}


but I didn't get any output by doing this.. what is the reason and how should I achieve this without returning a value from createReportType1 to downloadPdf function

            createReportType1 return result to function downloadPdf and this function can make many actions with that result - for example save it to DB and return ID, or just return whole result...
