Description

Describe the bug

I need user list in static function of controller.

export class NotificationController {
  constructor(
    @repository(UserRepository) public userRepository: UserRepository,
  ) {
  }

  public static async sendPushNotification(userId: string) {
    const userInfo = await userRepository.findById(userId, {fields: ['pushToken']});
    // send push code
  }
}

But I can not use userRepository and call repository function.
Is there solution for this?

Research direction

Start with the NotificationController example and the injected UserRepository usage shown in the issue. Determine whether static controller methods are expected to receive repository dependencies; done means confirming and documenting a supported way to access UserRepository from sendPushNotification.
