Repositories are meant to act as a middle layer between Models and higher level objectives like services. They are meant to abstract the data layer and provide a clean API for data access. Use a repository when the action is mostly or entirely about the related model.

#### Layers of a Laravel application using Repositories

[](#layers-of-a-laravel-application-using-repositories)

- **Service** - Highest level of abstraction. Uses Repositories and Models to perform actions. Example: `StripePaymentService`
- **Repository** - Middle layer of abstraction. Uses Models (not just the related Model) to perform actions. Example: `UserRepository`
- **Model** - Lowest level of abstraction. Represents a single table in the database. Use only for relations and light transforms of the data. Example: `User`

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

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require nathanbarrett/laravel-repositories
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

First create a repository class

```
use NathanBarrett\LaravelRepositories\Repository;
use App\Models\User;

/**
* @extends Repository
 */
class UserRepository extends Repository
{
    public function modelClass(): string
    {
        return User::class;
    }
}
```

Generics are used to ensure that your IDE can provide code completion and type hinting.

```
class UserController extends Controller
{
    public function __construct(private UserRepository $userRepository)
    {
       //
    }

    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        // The IDE will understand that $user is an instance of User
        $user = $this->userRepository->create($request->all());
        return response()->json($user);
    }
}
```

Or you can quickly create one using the command

```
php artisan make:repository UserRepository
```

-------
