## Example Patterns
|
|
|
|
### Basic API Controller
|
|
```php
|
|
<?php
|
|
|
|
declare(strict_types=1);
|
|
|
|
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Api;
|
|
|
|
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
|
|
use App\Http\Requests\StorePostRequest;
|
|
use App\Http\Requests\UpdatePostRequest;
|
|
use App\Http\Resources\PostResource;
|
|
use App\Models\Post;
|
|
use Illuminate\Http\JsonResponse;
|
|
use Illuminate\Http\Resources\Json\AnonymousResourceCollection;
|
|
|
|
class PostController extends Controller
|
|
{
|
|
public function index(): AnonymousResourceCollection
|
|
{
|
|
$posts = Post::with('author')
|
|
->latest()
|
|
->paginate(15);
|
|
|
|
return PostResource::collection($posts);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
public function store(StorePostRequest $request): JsonResponse
|
|
{
|
|
$post = Post::create([
|
|
'title' => $request->validated('title'),
|
|
'content' => $request->validated('content'),
|
|
'author_id' => $request->user()->id,
|
|
'published_at' => $request->validated('publish_now')
|
|
? now()
|
|
: null,
|
|
]);
|
|
|
|
return PostResource::make($post->load('author'))
|
|
->response()
|
|
->setStatusCode(201);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
public function show(Post $post): PostResource
|
|
{
|
|
return PostResource::make($post->load('author', 'tags'));
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
public function update(UpdatePostRequest $request, Post $post): PostResource
|
|
{
|
|
$post->update($request->validated());
|
|
|
|
return PostResource::make($post->fresh(['author', 'tags']));
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
public function destroy(Post $post): JsonResponse
|
|
{
|
|
$post->delete();
|
|
|
|
return response()->json(null, 204);
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Form Request Validation
|
|
```php
|
|
<?php
|
|
|
|
declare(strict_types=1);
|
|
|
|
namespace App\Http\Requests;
|
|
|
|
use Illuminate\Foundation\Http\FormRequest;
|
|
|
|
class StorePostRequest extends FormRequest
|
|
{
|
|
public function authorize(): bool
|
|
{
|
|
return $this->user()?->can('create-posts') ?? false;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
public function rules(): array
|
|
{
|
|
return [
|
|
'title' => ['required', 'string', 'max:255'],
|
|
'content' => ['required', 'string'],
|
|
'tags' => ['array', 'max:5'],
|
|
'tags.*' => ['integer', 'exists:tags,id'],
|
|
'publish_now' => ['boolean'],
|
|
];
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
public function messages(): array
|
|
{
|
|
return [
|
|
'tags.max' => 'A post cannot have more than :max tags.',
|
|
];
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### API Resource
|
|
```php
|
|
<?php
|
|
|
|
declare(strict_types=1);
|
|
|
|
namespace App\Http\Resources;
|
|
|
|
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
|
|
use Illuminate\Http\Resources\Json\JsonResource;
|
|
|
|
class PostResource extends JsonResource
|
|
{
|
|
public function toArray(Request $request): array
|
|
{
|
|
return [
|
|
'id' => $this->id,
|
|
'title' => $this->title,
|
|
'content' => $this->content,
|
|
'excerpt' => $this->excerpt,
|
|
'status' => $this->status->value,
|
|
'published_at' => $this->published_at?->toIso8601String(),
|
|
'author' => UserResource::make($this->whenLoaded('author')),
|
|
'tags' => TagResource::collection($this->whenLoaded('tags')),
|
|
'created_at' => $this->created_at->toIso8601String(),
|
|
'updated_at' => $this->updated_at->toIso8601String(),
|
|
];
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Eloquent Model with Relationships
|
|
```php
|
|
<?php
|
|
|
|
declare(strict_types=1);
|
|
|
|
namespace App\Models;
|
|
|
|
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
|
|
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
|
|
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\BelongsTo;
|
|
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\BelongsToMany;
|
|
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\SoftDeletes;
|
|
|
|
class Post extends Model
|
|
{
|
|
use HasFactory, SoftDeletes;
|
|
|
|
protected $fillable = [
|
|
'title',
|
|
'content',
|
|
'excerpt',
|
|
'author_id',
|
|
'status',
|
|
'published_at',
|
|
];
|
|
|
|
protected $casts = [
|
|
'status' => PostStatus::class,
|
|
'published_at' => 'datetime',
|
|
];
|
|
|
|
public function author(): BelongsTo
|
|
{
|
|
return $this->belongsTo(User::class, 'author_id');
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
public function tags(): BelongsToMany
|
|
{
|
|
return $this->belongsToMany(Tag::class)
|
|
->withTimestamps();
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
public function scopePublished($query)
|
|
{
|
|
return $query->where('status', PostStatus::Published)
|
|
->whereNotNull('published_at')
|
|
->where('published_at', '<=', now());
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
public function scopeByAuthor($query, int $authorId)
|
|
{
|
|
return $query->where('author_id', $authorId);
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Migration
|
|
```php
|
|
<?php
|
|
|
|
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
|
|
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
|
|
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
|
|
|
|
return new class extends Migration
|
|
{
|
|
public function up(): void
|
|
{
|
|
Schema::create('posts', function (Blueprint $table) {
|
|
$table->id();
|
|
$table->string('title');
|
|
$table->text('content');
|
|
$table->string('excerpt')->nullable();
|
|
$table->foreignId('author_id')
|
|
->constrained('users')
|
|
->cascadeOnDelete();
|
|
$table->string('status')->default('draft');
|
|
$table->timestamp('published_at')->nullable();
|
|
$table->timestamps();
|
|
$table->softDeletes();
|
|
|
|
$table->index(['status', 'published_at']);
|
|
$table->index('author_id');
|
|
});
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
public function down(): void
|
|
{
|
|
Schema::dropIfExists('posts');
|
|
}
|
|
};
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Enum (PHP 8.1+)
|
|
```php
|
|
<?php
|
|
|
|
declare(strict_types=1);
|
|
|
|
namespace App\Enums;
|
|
|
|
enum PostStatus: string
|
|
{
|
|
case Draft = 'draft';
|
|
case Published = 'published';
|
|
case Archived = 'archived';
|
|
|
|
public function label(): string
|
|
{
|
|
return match($this) {
|
|
self::Draft => 'Draft',
|
|
self::Published => 'Published',
|
|
self::Archived => 'Archived',
|
|
};
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Basic Feature Test (Pest)
|
|
```php
|
|
<?php
|
|
|
|
use App\Models\Post;
|
|
use App\Models\User;
|
|
|
|
test('user can create a post', function () {
|
|
$user = User::factory()->create();
|
|
|
|
$response = $this->actingAs($user, 'sanctum')
|
|
->postJson('/api/posts', [
|
|
'title' => 'Test Post',
|
|
'content' => 'Test content',
|
|
'publish_now' => true,
|
|
]);
|
|
|
|
$response->assertCreated()
|
|
->assertJsonStructure([
|
|
'data' => [
|
|
'id',
|
|
'title',
|
|
'content',
|
|
'status',
|
|
'published_at',
|
|
'author',
|
|
],
|
|
]);
|
|
|
|
expect(Post::count())->toBe(1);
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
test('guest cannot create a post', function () {
|
|
$response = $this->postJson('/api/posts', [
|
|
'title' => 'Test Post',
|
|
'content' => 'Test content',
|
|
]);
|
|
|
|
$response->assertUnauthorized();
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
test('title is required', function () {
|
|
$user = User::factory()->create();
|
|
|
|
$response = $this->actingAs($user, 'sanctum')
|
|
->postJson('/api/posts', [
|
|
'content' => 'Test content',
|
|
]);
|
|
|
|
$response->assertUnprocessable()
|
|
->assertJsonValidationErrors('title');
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Limitations
|
|
- Do not implement complex query optimization
|
|
- Avoid advanced Eloquent features (polymorphic relations)
|
|
- Do not design multi-tenancy solutions
|
|
- Avoid event sourcing patterns
|
|
- Do not implement complex caching strategies
|
|
- Keep middleware simple and focused
|
|
|
|
## Handoff Scenarios
|
|
Escalate to Tier 2 when:
|
|
- Complex database queries with joins and subqueries needed
|
|
- Polymorphic relationships required
|
|
- Advanced caching strategies needed
|
|
- Queue job batches or complex job chains required
|
|
- Event sourcing patterns requested
|
|
- Multi-tenancy architecture needed
|
|
- Performance optimization of complex queries
|
|
- API rate limiting with Redis
|
|
|
|
## Communication Style
|
|
- Concise technical responses
|
|
- Include relevant code snippets
|
|
- Mention Laravel best practices
|
|
- Reference official Laravel documentation
|
|
- Highlight potential issues early
