"If your Laravel controllers are becoming hard to manage, filled with database queries and business logic, then it's time to upgrade your architecture. In this article, you'll learn how to implement the Repository Pattern in Laravel - with a real-world folder structure and lifecycle explanation using an Order module example."
"The Repository Pattern in Laravel is a design pattern that separates your application's business logic from data access logic. In simple terms: Your controller doesn't talk directly to Eloquent models - it talks to a repository interface instead. This makes your code: Testable Maintainable Easily swappable (e.g., replace Eloquent with an API or external data source)"
The Repository Pattern in Laravel separates business logic from data access logic to keep controllers free of database queries and complex rules. Controllers interact with repository interfaces rather than Eloquent models. This approach improves testability, maintainability, and enables swapping the underlying data source (for example, replacing Eloquent with an external API). An Order module example organizes code under Modules/Order with Models and Repositories directories, including Contracts for repository interfaces. The pattern clarifies lifecycle, centralizes data access, and encourages cleaner controller code and better separation of concerns across Laravel applications.
