Persisting Requests

This package will let you create persisting requests in a breeze. It will call a persisting method on your request via the Laravel Container, meaning you can use dependency injection. The package is inspired by this Laracasts video. The package can help cleaning up your controller.

Installation

Install the latest version with composer.

composer require dees040/persisting-request

After installing the packages and the service provider to the providers array in app/config.php.

dees040\PersistingRequests\ServiceProvider::class,

Usage

You can now run the make:persist command.

php artisan make:persist FooBarRequest

In your controller you can now add the fresh created request to the method. Laravel will automatically inject in via dependency injection.

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Http\Requests\FooBarRequest;

class ActivationController extends Controller
{
    public function activate(FooBarRequest $request)
    {
        $request->persist();

        return view('home');
    }
}

Now in your request you can add dependencies to the persisting method.

<?php

namespace App\Http\Requests;

use dees040\PersistingRequests\PersistingRequest;

class FooBarRequest extends PersistingRequest
{
    /**
     * Persist the request.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function persisting(ActivationManager $manager)
    {
        $manager->activate($this->user());
    }
}
