The service pattern
When to use the service pattern
A common question is: where do I put my business logic? You want to keep your models thin and your controller functions skinny. There are multiple ways to archive this, extracting your business logic to the service layer is a common method. By encapsulating your business logic in a service class you are able to re-use the logic for example in your controllers, commands, jobs and middelware.
How to use services
Once you have made a service it is time to add your business logic. We will discus how to use a service via static methods, dependency injection and how to use it with interfaces and repositories.
Static methods
a common way to use a service is to call it's methods statically. It is similar to helper functions. Let's say we have a with a method to get a post based on a slug.
Next you can include the service class for example your controller and call the method statically.
The method is in this example a very simple function but as you can see it keeps you controller skinny and and your business logic seperated. Keep in mind that static classes and methods are stateless. The class won't save any data in itself.
Dependency Injection
Another popular method is to use services with dependency injection. With dependency injection you can write loosely coupled code. When done right this will improve the flexibility and maintainability of your code.
The we used as example before will remain almost the same except we don't declare the functions inside the class as static anymore.
Next we inject the service into the constructor of the class where we want to use it. Inside the constructor we assign the object to the class property. Now the property will be callable in all functions within the class with . While typing your IDE will already typehint the functions in your PostService class, in this case only .
