API Design Philosophy (loosely followed for the time being)

SIMPLICITY & USABILITY > complex design patterns. We can always refactor at a later point.

Middleware

performs logic that does not require any data (IE whether or not the store is open for orders, etc) certain authentication calls controller

Controllers

perform required data validation calls service return response

Services

can pull in other services if needed to communicate with other services (not other repositories)??? handles business rules (permissions, etc) by calling the repositories methods and arranging logic based on repositories response throws business exceptions calls repository fire events

Repositories

performs and returns individual logic. each method performs one task strict parameters listed in each function throws find or fail exceptions

Models

eloquent stuff
