Laravel: How to implement Repository Design Pattern with only one repository? - laravel

Question

I've checked many repository design pattern tutorials like
https://asperbrothers.com/blog/implement-repository-pattern-in-laravel/
https://www.larashout.com/how-to-use-repository-pattern-in-laravel
https://laravelarticle.com/repository-design-pattern-in-laravel
https://shishirthedev.medium.com/repository-design-pattern-in-laravel-application-f474798f53ec
But all use multiple repositories with all methods repeated for each model here's an example
class PostRepository implements PostRepositoryInterface
{
public function get($post_id)
{
return Post::find($post_id);
}
public function all()
{
return Post::all();
}
}
interface PostRepositoryInterface
{
public function get($post_id);
public function all();
}
class PostController extends Controller
{
protected $post;
public function __construct(PostRepositoryInterface $post)
{
$this->post = $post;
}
public function index()
{
$data = [
'posts' => $this->post->all()
];
return $data;
}
}
In ReposiroryServiceProvider:
$this->app->bind(
'App\Repositories\PostRepositoryInterface',
'App\Repositories\PostRepository'
);
So now I have UserRepository, PostRepository, CommentRepository .... etc I will have to add the same methods of get, add, .... in all repositories and just change the model name from Post to User .... etc
How can I unify these methods in one file and just pass the model name and use it like this $this->model->all() instead of repeating them in every repository file I create?

Answer 1

You need Abstract Class AbstractRepository, something like this.
Btw, maybe you don't need repository pattern, in Laravel it is not best practice.
abstract class AbstractRepository
{
private $model = null;
//Model::class
abstract public function model(): string
protected function query()
{
if(!$this->model){
$this->model = app($this->model());
}
return $this->model->newQuery()
}
public function all()
{
return $this->query()->all();
}
}
