A repository pattern implementation for Laravel Framework

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Via Composer

$ composer require bigpaulie/repository
```

Publish the configuration file

```
$ php artisan vendor:publish --provider=bigpaulie\\repository\\RepositoryServiceProvider --tag=repository.config
```

Compatibility
-------------

[](#compatibility)

package versionlaravel version2.x6.9 or newer1.x5.xUsage
-----

[](#usage)

A repository class is any class that extends bigpaulie\\repository\\AbstractRepository

The general rule of thumb is that your repository should have the same name as your model by with a suffix of "Repository".

Let's say we have the following case, we have a model named Person, than the repository class should be named PersonRepository

```
class PersonRepository extends AbstractRepository {}
```

Generating repositories using artisan commands
----------------------------------------------

[](#generating-repositories-using-artisan-commands)

You can generate a repository for your model using the provided artisan command

```
php artisan repository:generate Person
```

The above command will generate a repository class called PersonRepository.

### Find

[](#find)

Find a specific resource by it's ID

```
/** @var PersonRepository $repository */
$repository = new PersonRepository();

/** @var Person|null $person */
$person = $repository->find(1);
```

### Get all

[](#get-all)

Get all results for this resource

```
/** @var PersonRepository */
$repository = new PersonRepository();

/** @var Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Collection|Person[] */
$persons = $repository->all();
```

### Create

[](#create)

Create's a new resource and return the database object, if your model doesn't allow mass assigning of attributes, use `false` as the second parameter.

```
/** @var PersonRepository $repository */
$repository = new PersonRepository();

/** @var Person $person */
$person = $repository->create([
    'name' => 'Popescu Ion',
    'age' => 30
]);
```

### Update

[](#update)

Update a specific resource by it's ID, you can also pass a model instance as a second parameter.

```
/** @var PersonRepository $repository */
$repository = new PersonRepository();

/** @var Person $person */
$person = $repository->update([
    'name' => 'Popescu Marin',
    'age' => 33
], 1);
```

### Delete

[](#delete)

Delete a specific resource by it's ID, you can also force delete by passing `true` as the second parameter.

```
/** @var PersonRepository $repository */
$repository = new PersonRepository();

try {
    /** @var Person $person */
    $person = $repository->delete(1);
} catch (RepositoryException $exception) {
    // do something if operation fails
}
```

Using helper function
---------------------

[](#using-helper-function)

You can use the helper function by providing the FQDN of a repository or a model.

If a repository exists for a given model, an instance of the repository is returned otherwise an abstract repository is returned allowing you to preform all the builtin CRUD functionality.

The Person model has a PersonRepository

```
/** @var PersonRepository $person */
$personRepository = repository(PersonRepository::class);

/** @var PersonRepository $person */
$personRepository = repository(Person::class);
```

The Dog model doesn't have a repository

```
/** @var bigpaulie\repository\Repository $dog */
$repository = repository(Dog::class);
```
