Laravel Eloquent Repositories
=============================

[](#laravel-eloquent-repositories)

> Heads up! This is not yet another base class where there are some methods trying to act as Eloquent replacement. This is an implementation where you can use all Eloquent features on a custom class!

Using Repositories in Laravel can be a bit confusing. If you create custom classes functioning as repositories you can't really use Eloquent anymore, which is one of the best features of Laravel. That's why I was looking for another way for using the repository pattern in Laravel. I came up with this approach and thought I would share it.

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

[](#installation)

Just install it through Composer:

```
composer require mratiebatie/laravel-repositories

```

After installation you can start using the repository pattern with Laravel.

Make a repository class
-----------------------

[](#make-a-repository-class)

This package provide a new Artisan command to create a repository class. All the classes will be generated on the `App\Repositories` folder, if this folder is missing, it will be generated automatically.

```
php artisan make:repository ProductRepository

```

You can use the `--model` option to define the Eloquent model that will be linked to this repository.

```
php artisan make:repository ProductRepository --model=App\\Product

```

Don't forget to write the **full namespace** of your model, using '\\\\' as the separator.

Example
-------

[](#example)

In this example I assume that you already have a model named Product. Used the command

`php artisan make:repository ProductRepository --model=App\\Models\\Product`

```
