- In the same Controller method?
- Separate private Controller method?
- Static function in Model?
- Separate class, like Service?
- Or, maybe, global helper function without any class?
- Also, I’ve heard Repository is a widely-used pattern?
And the list goes on.
Of course, the correct answer is it depends. But depends on what?
This is what I’m gonna talk about in this course.
The goal is to discuss practical examples of structuring larger Laravel applications, various approaches and patterns. We will analyze existing popular open-source projects and their structure.
Important notice: this course won’t be about design patterns. So fancy keywords like Singleton, Factory, Adapter, Repository etc will be used only when appropriate.
What I will try to do is focus on the practical side: folders, classes and methods, and not on how that pattern actually is called in theory. In reality, every project is actually a mix of patterns, and developers don’t even know how they’re called.
