Implementation Guidelines
- •Domain Grouping: Organize code by business domain (e.g.,
User,Order) instead of framework types. - •DTOs: Use
readonlyclasses to pass data between layers; avoid raw arrays. - •Action Classes: Wrap business logic in single-purpose classes with
handle()orexecute(). - •Repository Pattern: Abstract Eloquent queries behind interfaces for easier testing.
- •Dependency Inversion: Bind Interfaces to implementations in
AppServiceProvider. - •Model Isolation: Keep Eloquent models lean; only include relationships and casts.
Anti-Patterns
- •Domain Leak: No Eloquent in Controllers: Use DTOs/Actions to bridge layers.
- •Array Overload: No raw data arrays: Use typed DTOs for structured data.
- •Service Bloat: No God Services: Break down large services into granular Actions.
- •Infrastructure Coupling: No hard dependencies: Depend on abstractions, not concretions.
