Controller Cleanup
Keep controllers small and focused on orchestration.
Move auth/validation to Form Requests
- Create a Request class (e.g.,
StoreUserRequest) and useauthorize()+rules() - Type-hint the Request in your controller method; Laravel runs it before the action
php artisan make:request StoreUserRequest
Extract business logic to Actions/Services
- Create a small Action (one thing well) or a Service for larger workflows
- Pass a DTO from the Request to the Action to avoid leaking framework concerns
