Architecture Layers
Routes → Middleware (auth, RBAC) → Controllers → Services → Repositories → Models
- Controllers: Thin. Validate (Form Request), call service, return Resource.
- Services: Business logic. No HTTP concerns, no direct Eloquent queries.
- Repositories: Database access. Eloquent queries only here.
- Models: Relationships, scopes, accessors. No business logic.
Key Patterns
Form Requests
- All validation in Form Request classes
- Authorization via
authorize()method - Custom messages for Arabic error messages
API Resources
- All API responses via Resource/Collection classes
- Standard envelope:
{ success, data, message, errors } - Conditional includes via
whenLoaded()
Policies
- Model-level authorization via Policy classes
- Register in
AuthServiceProvider - Check via
$this->authorize()orGate::allows()
Events & Listeners
- Decouple side effects (notifications, logging, cache invalidation)
- Use event classes in
app/Events/ - Register listeners in
EventServiceProvider
Jobs & Queues
- Heavy processing goes to background jobs
- Use
ShouldQueueinterface - Implement
failed()method for error handling
Sanctum Authentication
- Token-based API authentication
- Abilities/scopes on tokens for granular permissions
- Token expiration and refresh patterns
Migration Discipline
- Forward-only migrations
- Always include
down()method - Never modify existing migration files
- Use
php artisan make:migrationnaming conventions
Testing
- PHPUnit for unit tests (services, repositories)
- Laravel HTTP tests for feature tests (endpoints)
- Use
RefreshDatabasetrait - Factory-based test data
