README

Small Laravel 5 repositories package to abstract the database layer of your web application.

Installation

Install the package by running, either by running the following command in your project root:

$ composer require mrterryh/laravel-repos

Or by adding the following line to the require object in your composer.json file:

"mrterryh/laravel-repos": "1.*"

Then run $ composer update in your command line to install the dependency.

Usage

Anywhere within your application, create a new file. The file name convention for this package is [Model]Repository.php. Let's use the standard Laravel User model for this example.

Create a new file UserRepository.php in app/Repositories, and create a class within the file that extends Mrterryh\Repositories\Base\EloquentRepository:

use Mrterryh\Repositories\Base\EloquentRepository;

class UserRepository extends EloquentRepository
{
    
}

Then, provide the full, namespaced path of the model in the $model property.

use Mrterryh\Repositories\Base\EloquentRepository;

class UserRepository extends EloquentRepository
{
    protected $model = 'App\User';
}
