Simple base repositories for Laravel's Eloquent ORM, this packages abstracts the base Model functions and adds a caching decorator.
Caching is handled automatically if you have selected a caching method that allows tagging and cache is enabled in the config.
Requirements
PHP ^7.1.3
Installation
-
As always: back up your database - I am not responsible for any data loss
-
Install the package via Composer:
composer require mike-zange/laravel-entity-base-repositories
-
The service provider is auto-loaded in Laravel >= 5.5
-
Publish the configuration file
repository.php
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="MikeZange\LaravelEntityRepositories\Providers\RepositoryServiceProvider"
-
You can create a repository using the following command
php artisan generate:repository {entity}
This will create the Contract, Eloquent and Cache decorator for the entity.
app/Repositories/UserRepository.php
app/Repositories/Eloquent/EloquentUserRepository.php
app/Repositories/Cache/CacheUserRepository.php
Customise the generated files with:
Change the namespace, default: "App\Repositories":
php artisan generate:repository {entity} --s App\\New\\Namespace
Change the repository name, default: "{entity}Repository":
php artisan generate:repository {entity} --r NewRepoName
Will generate:
NewRepoName
app/Repositories/NewRepoName.php
app/Repositories/Eloquent/EloquentNewRepoName.php
app/Repositories/Cache/CacheNewRepoName.php
-
Edit the config at
config/repository.php
to your requirements, the defaults should be okay for most uses, but you need to specify your repositories, for example:'repositories' => [ [ 'entity' => \App\Entities\User::class, 'contract' => App\Repositories\UserRepository::class, 'eloquent_repository' => App\Repositories\Eloquent\EloquentUserRepository::class, 'cache_decorator' => App\Repositories\Cache\CacheUserDecorator::class, ] ],
-
You can now type-hint your repositories in your controllers:
class UserController extends Controller { /** * @var UserRepository */ private $userRepository; /** * Create a new controller instance. * * @param UserRepository $userRepository */ public function __construct(UserRepository $userRepository) { $this->userRepository = $userRepository; } public function index(Request $request) { $users = $this->userRepository->all(); return $users; } }
Manually create a repository
-
Create a contract for your repository:
namespace App\Repositories; use MikeZange\LaravelEntityRepositories\Repositories\BaseRepository; interface UserRepository extends BaseRepository { }
-
Create an Eloquent Repository for your Model:
namespace App\Repositories\Eloquent; use App\Repositories\UserRepository; use MikeZange\LaravelEntityRepositories\Repositories\Eloquent\EloquentBaseRepository; class EloquentUserRepository extends EloquentBaseRepository implements UserRepository { }
-
Create a Cache Decorator for your Repository:
namespace App\Repositories\Cache; use App\Repositories\UserRepository; use MikeZange\LaravelEntityRepositories\Repositories\Cache\CacheBaseDecorator; class CacheUserDecorator extends CacheBaseDecorator implements UserRepository { public function __construct(UserRepository $repository) { parent::__construct(); $this->entityName = 'user'; $this->repository = $repository; } }
