Usage

Configuration (optional)

If you have published the config file (located at config/smashed_egg/model_repository.php) you can override the base repository class used with the make command, as well as a model to repository mapping, which is useful when using the RepositoryManager class (more on that later).

<?php

return [

    /**
     * The base Repository Class to use for all Repositories generated via cli
     */
    'base_repository' => \SmashedEgg\LaravelModelRepository\Repository\Repository::class,

    /**
     * Map of Models to Repository classes
     *
     * Useful when using the RepositoryManager class
     */
    'model_repository_map' => [
        //\App\Models\User::class => \App\Repositories\UserRepository::class,
    ],
];

Creating a Model Repository

You can run the following command to create a new Repository for your Model, assuming you already have a User model:

php artisan smashed-egg:make:repository UserRepository

or using the command alias:

php artisan se:make:repository UserRepository

You can even override the base repository class

php artisan se:make:repository UserRepository --base-repository="App\Repositories\CustomRepository"

Out of the box you get access to the following methods, that will pass along to the Model instance:

• save(Model $model)
• delete(Model $model, bool $force = false) - When using the SoftDeletes trait you can control whether you want to soft or hard delete
• restore(Model $model) - When using the SoftDeletes trait you can undo a soft deletion
• query - Start an eloquent query
• baseQuery - Start a database query

Using the RepositoryManager

If you have configured a model to repository mapping
