Laravel repository
==================

[](#laravel-repository)

Goals
-----

[](#goals)

- Provide a common interface for a repository implementation using laravel framework.
- Provide you a good starting point to create simple and maintainable laravel applications.
- Encourage good behavior using repository pattern with a few lines of code
- Simplify your code by abstracting complex behavior
- Cleaning up your models and controllers. (and keeping repositories clean btw!)

What does this package
----------------------

[](#what-does-this-package)

The point here is to abstract Eloquent models by using standard php objects (stdClass and arrays). This way, you can switch later to another data source such as MongoDB without touching your models. All the bloat of convertion is already handled out of your code.

This package handle fetching Eloquent data, and converting them to plain PHP objects. More data providers will be added later as they are needed.

This package enable you to use the same syntax for displaying data as with eloquent models ($model->data syntax) unlike the toArray approach.
