How to Use the Repository Pattern in a Laravel Application

The Repository pattern is a design pattern that provides an abstraction layer between the domain and data mapping layers, allowing for decoupling of code from concrete implementations. In the context of Laravel, this means using interfaces to define methods that must be implemented by repository classes, which encapsulate database-related logic. By doing so, the application becomes more maintainable and scalable, as changes can be made to the interface without affecting the controller or other parts of the application. The code in the provided article demonstrates how to implement the Repository pattern in a Laravel application, including creating an interface for the Order model, implementing the repository class, and binding it to the interface using a Service Provider.
