Serpository (Service Repository Pattern in Laravel)

Many of us Laravel developers like to use Service-Repository pattern in Laravel applications to develop scalable application. So creating these Service, Repository classes and inject them manually is very time-consuming as well as annoying at times.

I faced this issue several times, that is why I developed this package to make my task easier. I strongly believe that many of us having this issue. For them, I decided to make it public.

This package provides the facility to make service & repository together and inject them by an artisan command. In addition to this, people also will be able to make service or repository individually. More details are given in features section.

Requirement

This package requires php version >=7.4 and Laravel version >=8

Installation

1. Install this packages via composer:

composer require maamun7/serpository

2. Add the Serpository Service Provider to the providers array in config/app.php

Maamun7\Serpository\SerpositoryServiceProvider::class,

Features

1. Create Service

php artisan make:service User

If there is no Services directory inside app, firstly the above command will create that directory and then will make a Service class by the provided name with Service suffix inside this created Services directory. E.g: UserService.

2. Create Repository

php artisan make:repo User  OR  php artisan make:repository User

If there is no Repositories directory inside app, firstly the above command will create that directory and then will make a Repository class by the provided name with Repository suffix inside that created Repositories/Eloquents directory. E.g: UserRepository .

Besides, the Repository will have an Injected Interface with a separate Interfaces directory inside the Repository.

Moreover, this command will search a model inside app\Models directory by provided repository name and adding some suffix (e.g: suppose the provided name is User then it will search by User, Users, UserModel & User_Model). If there is a model with those names it will inject into the Repository; otherwise it will inject a model with the provided base name.

3. Create Service & Repository with the same name

php artisan make:service User --r

Flag --r will give scope to create a Service as well as a Repository together with the same base name. In addition to this, this created repository will be injected into this service automatically.

4. Create Service & Repository with the different name

php artisan make:service User --r --repo=MyUser

The above command will create a Service with the name UserService & a Repository named MyUserRepository. This repository also will be injected into this service automatically.

How does it work with Controller?

The following example shows how it works with controller.

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Services\UserService;

class UserController extends Controller
{
    protected $userService;

    /**
     * @param UserService $userService
     */
    public function __construct(UserService $userService)
    {
        $this->userService = $userService;
    }

    public function index()
    {
        $users = $this->userService->getAll();
    }
}
