Great article! Would it be at all possible to see how to use the repositories in controllers?

Thank you for your question :)
Yes, you can use repositories by manually adding them

    public function __construct(UserInterface $userInterface, StaffInterface $staffInterface, ProductInterface $productInterface)
    {
        $this->userInterface = $userInterface;
        $this->staffInterface= $staffInterface;
        $this->productInterface= $productInterface;
    }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Is the UserInterface an entity? A Repository? Also, why would you suffix a property name with interface when it's an object?

Thank you :)!
Laravel allows you binding Interfaces To Implementations. This means lara-repository already do it for you.
\App\Repositories\Staff\StaffInterface::class => \App\Repositories\Staff\StaffRepository::class,
lara-repository injects the StaffRepository when a class needs an implementation of StaffInterface.
