How to correctly handle laravel form?

I want to correctly handle user store form.

I consider which patter will be the most correct/popular. It is repository pattern? Service pattern?

Another difficulty: User form: name, email, postal code, city, street. I want to create two models in one form: User and Address. How can I solve it? I throught about:

// UserController store(UserRequest $request)
$address = $addressRepo->create($request->validated());
$user = $userRepo->create($request->validated(), $address)

Issues i'm wondering about:

I am confused as to what would be the most correct.

Solution

  • If your app won't be more than a CRUD, don't bother with repository pattern etc. Just use MVC pattern.

    If you really need to use repository pattern you can use it also, dependency injection.

    You can also create a UserService, which you send $request->validated() data to your service.

    You should inject your repositories to this service. Your service should hold your logic, Repository should do store update etc.

    Your contoller:

    UserService::createUser($request->validated());

    Your service:

    ...
$userRepository->createUser(...);
$addressRepository->createAddres(...);
