Laravel Prompting Patterns

Use Laravel's vocabulary to get idiomatic code. Generic requests produce generic solutions that don't leverage the framework.

Database Operations

Generic

"Get all active users with their posts"

Laravel-Specific

"Query active users with eager-loaded posts using Eloquent:
php
User::where('active', true)
    ->with('posts')
    ->get();
Add a scope to User model: 
scopeActive($query)
"

Relationships

"Set up a many-to-many relationship between Posts and Tags:
  • Create 
    post_tag
    pivot table migration
  • Add 
    belongsToMany
    in Post model
  • Add 
    belongsToMany
    in Tag model
  • Use 
    attach()
    , 
    detach()
    , 
    sync()
    for management"

Query Optimization

"Avoid N+1 on the posts index:
  • Eager load 
    author
    and 
    category
    relationships
  • Use 
    withCount('comments')
    for comment totals
  • Add database indexes on 
    published_at
    and 
    category_id
    "

Validation

Generic

"Validate the user input"

Laravel-Specific

"Create UserStoreRequest with validation rules:
php
public function rules(): array
{
    return [
        'email' => ['required', 'email', 'unique:users,email'],
        'password' => ['required', 'min:12', Password::defaults()],
        'name' => ['required', 'string', 'max:255'],
    ];
}
Add custom error messages in 
messages()
method"

Complex Validation

"Validate order creation:
  • Use 
    Rule::exists('products', 'id')
    for product IDs
  • Validate nested items array: 
    items.*.quantity
    must be integer, min 1
  • Use 
    Rule::requiredIf()
    for conditional shipping address
  • Add custom rule for inventory check: 
    new HasSufficientStock
    "

API Endpoints

Generic

"Create an API for products"

Laravel-Specific

"Create RESTful product API:
  • Resource controller: 
    ProductController
    with apiResource routes
  • Use 
    ProductResource
    for response transformation
  • Add 
    ProductCollection
    for index endpoint with pagination
  • Protect with Sanctum middleware: 
    auth:sanctum
  • Return 201 on create, 204 on delete
  • Use 
    ProductStoreRequest
    and 
    ProductUpdateRequest
    for validation"

Pagination

"Paginate products API:
  • Use 
    Product::paginate(20)
    in controller
  • Return with 
    ProductResource::collection($products)
  • Include meta: 
    total
    , 
    per_page
    , 
    current_page
    , 
    last_page
  • Support 
    ?page=2
    query parameter"

Filtering

"Add filtering to products API:
  • Accept 
    ?category=electronics&min_price=100
    query params
  • Use 
    when()
    for conditional queries
  • Extract to 
    ProductFilters
    class for reusability
  • Document query params in API docs"

Background Processing

Generic

"Send email after user registers"

Laravel-Specific

"Dispatch SendWelcomeEmail job after registration:
php
SendWelcomeEmail::dispatch($user)
    ->onQueue('emails')
    ->delay(now()->addMinutes(5));
  • Implement 
    ShouldQueue
    interface
  • Add 
    $tries = 3
    and 
    $timeout = 30
  • Handle failure in 
    failed()
    method
  • Tag job for Horizon: 
    $tags = ['user:'.$user->id]
    "

Queue Configuration

"Configure queue for payment processing:
  • Use 
    redis
    connection for payments queue
  • Set 
    queue:work --queue=payments,default
  • Add 
    retry_after
    to 90 seconds in config
  • Monitor with Horizon dashboard"

Job Chaining

"Process order with job chain:
php
Bus::chain([
    new ValidateInventory($order),
    new ChargePayment($order),
    new SendConfirmation($order),
])->dispatch();
If any job fails, chain stops. Handle in 
catch()
callback."
