README

A generic base repository class for Laravel projects that provides a clean and consistent way to interact with Eloquent models. It simplifies CRUD operations and makes your code more maintainable, testable, and scalable.

🧩 Overview

This package provides an abstract EloquentRepository class that implements the EloquentRepositoryInterface. It wraps common model interactions into reusable methods, making it easier to manage data access logic in your Laravel applications.

🛠 Installation

Install the package via Composer:

composer require imjonos/laravel-base-repository

✅ Usage

1. Create Your Repository Class

Create a new repository class that extends EloquentRepository and specifies the model class:

namespace App\Repositories;

use App\Models\Order;
use Nos\BaseRepository\EloquentRepository;

class OrderRepository extends EloquentRepository
{
    protected string $class = Order::class;
}

2. Use the Repository in a Controller or Service

Inject the repository and use its methods:

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Repositories\OrderRepository;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class OrderController extends Controller
{
    protected $repository;

    public function __construct(OrderRepository $repository)
    {
        $this->repository = $repository;
    }

    public function index()
    {
        $orders = $this->repository->all();
        return view('orders.index', compact('orders'));
    }

    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        $order = $this->repository->create($request->all());
        return redirect()->route('orders.show', $order->id);
    }
}
