Laravel Architecture

Instructions

Architecture Patterns

• Laravel Actions: Business logic organized in Action classes (lorisleiva/laravel-actions)
• Inertia.js: Frontend built with Vue.js via Inertia.js
• Domain Organization: Features organized by domain (Auth, MentorPrograms, etc.)
• Repository Pattern: Not explicitly used, relies on Eloquent models
• Service Layer: Implemented via Action classes
• Database Migrations: Every change in the DB structure should be reflected in a new migration
• Database Seeders: Every change in DB data should be reflected in a seeder
• Database Factories: Every change in DB data should be reflected in a factory
• Database Queries: Prefer Eloquent models over raw queries
• Database Relationships: Prefer Eloquent relationships to raw queries
• Database Eager Loading: Prefer Eloquent eager loading over raw queries
• Database Pagination: Prefer Eloquent pagination over raw queries
• Database Scopes: Prefer Eloquent scopes over raw queries
• Database Soft Deletes: Prefer Eloquent soft deletes over raw queries

Performance Considerations

• Laravel Octane: Uses FrankenPHP for high-performance application server
• Redis: Used for caching, sessions, and queue management
• Database: PostgreSQL with proper indexing
• Asset Optimization: Image optimization tools included in Docker setup

Laravel 12 Structure

• No middleware files in app/Http/Middleware/.
• bootstrap/app.php is the file to register middleware, exceptions, and routing files.
• bootstrap/providers.php contains application specific service providers.
• No app\Console\Kernel.php - use bootstrap/app.php or routes/console.php for console configuration.
• Commands auto-register - files in app/Console/Commands/ are automatically available and do not require manual registration.
