laravel-repository

A Simple Package to create repositories, using artisan commands in laravel.

This package extends the make: commands to help you easily create repository classes in Laravel 9+.

What is Repository ?

Repository is a design pattern used to manage data access logic. It provides abstraction between the application and data access layers, such as databases.

Install

composer require visiarch/laravel-repository

Once it is installed, you can use any of the commands in your terminal.

Usage

Repositories are used to separate data access logic from business logic, allowing developers to change how data is stored and retrieved without affecting business logic.

With interface

php artisan make:repository {name} --i

Without interface

php artisan make:repository {name}

Examples

Create a repository class with interface

php artisan make:repository PostRepository --i

app/Repositories/Interfaces/PostRepositoryInterface.php

<?php

namespace App\Repositories\Interfaces;

/**
 * Interface PostRepositoryInterface
 *
 * This interface defines the methods for the PostRepository class.
 */

interface PostRepositoryInterface
{
   //
}

app/Repositories/PostRepository.php

<?php

namespace App\Repositories;

use App\Repositories\Interfaces\PostRepositoryInterface;

/**
 * Class PostRepository
 *
 * @package App\Repositories
 */

class PostRepository implements PostRepositoryInterface
{
   //
}

app\Providers\AppServiceProvider

public function register(): void
{
    //
    $this->app->bind(
    \App\Repositories\Interfaces\PostRepositoryInterface::class,
    \App\Repositories\PostRepository::class
    );
}

Create a repository class without interface

php artisan make:repository PostRepository

app/Repositories/PostRepository.php

<?php

namespace App\Repositories;

/**
 * Class PostRepository
 *
 * @package App\Repositories
 */

class PostRepository
{
   //
}

Implementation

With Interface

<?php

namespace App\Repositories\Interfaces;

use App\Models\Post;

class PostRepository implements PostRepositoryInterface
{
    public function store(array $data): Post;
}

<?php

namespace App\Repositories;

use App\Models\Post;

class PostRepository implements PostRepositoryInterface
{
    protected $post;

    public function __construct(Post $post){
        $this->post = $post;
    }

    public function store(array $data): Post
    {
        return $this->post->create($data);
    }
}

Without Interface

<?php

namespace App\Repositories;

use App\Models\Post;

class PostRepository
{
    protected $post;

    public function __construct(Post $post){
        $this->post = $post;
    }

    public function store(array $data): Post
    {
        return $this->post->create($data);
    }
}

How to implement it on the controller?

<?php

namespace App\Repositories;

use App\Models\Post;
use App\Repositories\Interfaces\PostServiceInterface;
use App\Http\Requests\PostRequest;

class PostController extends Controller
{
    protected $postService;

    public function __construct(PostServiceInterface $postService)
    {
        $this->postService = $postService;
    }

    public function store(PostRequest $request): RedirectResponse
    {
        $data = $request->validated();
        $this->postService->store($data);

        return redirect()->route('posts.index')->with('success', __('post created'));
    }
}

Just change PostRepositoryInterface to PostRepository if you are implementing without interface
