Laravel Repositories

This package provides a basic Repository pattern implementation for use with Laravel 5+.

Installation

This package may be installed with composer:

composer require patinthehat/laravel-repositories

Usage

Extend the Repository class and define its model method to create a repository for that model:

use Permafrost\Repository;

class UserRepository extends Repository
{
    public static function model()
    {
        return 'App\\User';
    }
}

The repository can then be used:

  $user = UserRepository::findByFirstName('john');

Dynamic Find Methods

The Repository class allows for dynamic findByN/findAllByN method calls, which will search the repository model's field N for its first argument. For example,

    UserRepository::findByFirstName('john')

results in a call to

    User::where('first_name', 'john')->first()
