Laravel Services and Repositories: 3 Example Projects

Service classes in Laravel is one of the most misunderstood concepts because developers use them in a very different way. Let's take a look at three examples.

Services = Business Logic stuff
Repositories = Database related stuff

Controllers interact with Services.
Services interact with Repositories.
Repositories interact with a Model and its relational Models if neccesary (one-to-many, many-to-many, etc).

Repositories should not access other Repositories, that kind of logic should be done in a Service.

Thanks for mentioning my code in 2nd example. And it's not a fully done project yet. I am still doing that project.

I wish this video came in a couple of weeks earlier. I received a project following that same pattern and it was a little bit hard to understand at first.
It was really nice to see your explanation and now I’m more confident in the changes I’m making to this project

I remember to avoid TypeHint REQUEST in service via Dependency Injection. Instead just pass Request Array.
It is useful in TESTs also.

Awesome stuff, I always get a lot of stuff from your videos.

Really interesting and useful, since Service/Repository is a common pattern also used in other languages, for instance in Java, to build more structured modules (and to make controllers or jobs or whatever much shorter!).
It’s a very important topic.

Thanks a lot for sharing examples regarding Services and Repositories, I hope you keep posting more of it because it's really helpful.
The only thing that seems off to me is the idea of passing the request to the service. I've seen it in cases even reaching to the repository and I don't believe it's a good practice. It makes quite hard to reuse these methods since you don't know which fields the method uses unless you read it thoroughly

You are really superman ❤️🇸🇩 thank you For the grateful lite tutorials. u are helpful please go on don't stop

Please make a video about PORTO pattern (implemented on apiato project) thanks! Most used architectual patterns for large laravel projects

[jannatulnayeem]

I am recently learning different design pattern of php. I would be glad to know different design patterns that can be used with laravel beside services.

@3:27 IMO policy inside the StoreBookingRequest would be better to implement the same functionality (availabilityCheck)

[risoledoce]

When dealing with DB transaction, It should be done in controller or in a service? The service should be throw exceptions and the controller catch it?

[balle]

You mentioned at the end ”To off load your controllers and make controllers shorter” does it mean better performance in controllers? And thats why we use Service? Or is it only for structure and readability?

[mohamed-haj]

Can you make a vid that explain how to structure your payment services (Paypal, Stripe, local banks ..etc) and use it with a clean code?

[dApoTB]

First of all, thank you so much for all your work! What are your thoughts on using Jobs for all CRUD (except Read part) operations?

[MrKederli]

Thank u for the video, Is this good habit making two new instance of a class as seen as 3:15 second of video with Booking class?.May it perform for speed or cpu ?.

[alexrusin]

Wonder if there are any tests for those services in the examples and if services that have tests are written "better" than the ones that don't have tests.

[joshbarros]

This approach would be nice with Domain Driven Design

[uzairsharif]

Hello Dear! Please tell me which framework vue or livewire is good to use with laravel. Should we use vue if our site is too much reactive or livewire would be a good choice in case site is too much reactive.
