Laravel collection display and short issue - laravel

Question

Hello guys!
I have a a little problem with collections. I have never worked with these. I would like to display a collection at my welcome blade but there is a problem. My collection is not in the contrroller, the collection's place is in the App/Repositories/xyz.php and in a function. How can i pass this function to the controller and after show it at the welcome blade??
App/repositories/xyz.php
public function getcars(): Collection
{
return collect([
new Car(...)
)];
controller
public function __invoke(): View
{
return view('welcome', ['cars' => collect([
new Car() ------> I would like to put datas from xyz.php repo here
new Car()
new Car()
....
And welcome.blade file where i would like to display
<div class="car-list">
<h2>{{ $title }}</h2>
#foreach($cars as $car)
<x-car :car="$car" />
#endforeach
</div>

Answer 1

You could do that in many ways:
Creating new instance
use App\repositories\Xyz;
public function __invoke(): View
{
$repo = new Xyz();
return view('welcome')->with('cars', $repo->getcars());
}
Pulling your class from the container
use App\repositories\Xyz;
public function __invoke(): View
{
$repo = app(Xyz::class);
return view('welcome')->with('cars', $repo->getcars());
}
Using dependency injection to resolve it from container
use App\repositories\Xyz;
protected Xyz $repo;
public function construct(Xyz $xyz): View
{
$this->repo = $xyz;
}
public function __invoke(): View
{
return view('welcome')->with('cars', $this->repo->getcars());
}

I believe from your Controller file, you can create an object property of your Repository via __construct() method like this:
protected MyRepository $myRepository;
public function __construct(MyRepository $myRepository)
{
$this->myRepository = $myRepository;
}
Then, you can call $this->myRepository's method from there, for example like getting records, etc. Then you can pass the result to your view.
