How to call Loopback4 controller's method from another controller?

[dinsvale]

Description / Steps to reproduce / Feature proposal

I have a loopback 4 controller with a function that I don't want to expose via HTTP.
I would like to be able to call the function from another controller. How can I do this? Is there any way of injecting a controller in another controller? (I 'm able to inject repositories in controllers, but not controllers in controllers)

You should be able to inject another controller. Pls show your code.

It should be as simple as @inject(‘controllers.AnotherController’) c: AnotherController

Alright, so to inject a repository in a controller, I do this, in the constructor of the controller:
constructor( @repository(RepositoryIWantToInject) public repositoryIWantToInject: RepositoryIWantToInject, ) {}

I tried @controller but it didn't work. But what you posted just now seems to have worked! Thanks!

Simply use @inject
