Package laravel-repositories
Short Description Laravel repositories using the native Eloquent functions

FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private 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
Just install it through Composer:
After installation you can start using the repository pattern with Laravel.
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.
You can use the --model option to define the Eloquent model that will be linked to this repository.
Don't forget to write the full namespace of your model, using '\\' as the separator.
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
The magic appears with the Repository trait, and the protected $model property.
When you call an Eloquent method on your repository, this call will fallback to your model.
So all the Eloquent methods like where, all, find, or your custom scopes are available in your repository.
The suggested way to initialize the $model property is by using the IoC container.
This way you can always replace models for Mock objects when making unit tests.
I keep the following as a rule of thumb:
- When you're chaining more than 2 Eloquent methods, make a Repository method for it. This goes for all kind of methods, relationships, query scopes etc.
Making facade
In our previous example, we used the dependency injection to retrieve our repository.
If you want to use your repository without it like you are allowed to do it with a model, you need to create a Facade.
-
First, create your Facade, for example in
app/Facades/ProductRepository: -
Then, in your
app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php, register your Facade : - Final step, add this alias to your
config/app.phpfile :
Now, our routes/web.php example would be like this :
