Principles ​

Next Laravel is not a new framework, it is just a set of principles which you can follow to build a better Laravel Application. You just need to follow the following principles, and the Application will turn into better and more human-readable code.

Routes ​

Route are just the same as Laravel default routes. The only difference is that we load our routes from our NextLaravelServiceProvider and of course, you can have 100% control over the routes. See more at

• Configuration
• NextLaravelServiceProvider.php

Module ​

Modules are where we wrap our business layers into separate units. A module can have followings.

• HTTP
  • Controllers
  • Requests
• Features
• Jobs

Controller ​

Controller is Responsible for

• Serving the Feature
• Returning everything returned from Feature to the Request

Feature ​

Feature is Responsible for

• Validating the Request
• Running Job(s)/Operations(s)
• Mapping the data from Job(s) to response
• Returning the HTTP Response to the Controller Method

Request ​

Request is Responsible for

• Validating the incoming HTTP Request
• Authorization of the Request

Operation ​

Operation is Responsible for

• Running the Job(s)

Job ​

Job is Responsible for

• Handling Laravel Models
• Providing the data to Feature

Operation VS Feature ​

Even though both of Operation and Feature are responsible for running the Job(s), there is a slight difference between them.

• Feature can be served from the Controller but the Operation cannot be.
• Operation can only be run from the Feature. It means it cannot work without the Feature.
• Operation is optional in application, but the Feature is not.
