Repositories for Laravel
========================

[](#repositories-for-laravel)

This is a package that has a simple implementation of a repository pattern for use with Eloquent.

How to use?
-----------

[](#how-to-use)

Install the package with composer in your project.

```
composer require hpolthof/repository
```

### Generator command

[](#generator-command)

Now you can create repositories with a new generator command

```
php artisan make:repository {modelName}
```

This will create a new repository in a Repositories directory within the app directory.

### Model Generator

[](#model-generator)

This package will also extend the `make:model` generator. When this generator is called with the parameter `--all` or `-a` and `--repository` or `-o` a repository will also be generated.

The Repository
--------------

[](#the-repository)

The repository is an empty class that extends `Hpolthof\Laravel\Repository\Repository` which implements `Hpolthof\Laravel\Repository\Contracts\RepositoryInterface`. This interface looks like:

```
interface RepositoryInterface
{
    public function all(array $columns = ['*']): Collection;
    public function list(string $orderByColumn, string $orderBy = 'desc', array $with = [], array $columns = ['*']): Collection;
    public function builder(Closure $builder, array $columns = ['*']): Collection;

    public function create(array $data): ?Model;
    public function update(array $data, $id): bool;
    public function delete($id): bool;

    public function find($id, array $columns = ['*']): ?Model;
    public function findBy(string $field, $value, array $columns = ['*']): ?Model;
}
```

### Automatic Model Detection

[](#automatic-model-detection)

The repository will try to detect the associated Eloquent model that should be used. If the model is named `{ModelName}Repository`, the model will automatically be used.

#### Setting the model manually

[](#setting-the-model-manually)

If the model cannot be detected or if you want to use another name, the `$modelName`property should be set. This can be done as in the example below:

```
use App\Demo;

class DemoRepository extends Repository {
    protected $modelName = Demo::class;
}
```

### Usage in controllers

[](#usage-in-controllers)

In a controller you can instantiate a repository using dependency injection. See the example below:

```
class DemoController extends Controller {
    protected $repository;

    public function __construct(DemoRepository $repository)
    {
        $this->repository = $repository;
    }
}
```

Disclaimer
----------

[](#disclaimer)

This package is used for internal development, but published for public use. Obviously this software comes *as is*, and there are no warranties or whatsoever.

If you like the package it is always appreciated if you drop a message of gratitude! ;-)
