Laravel Operations Laravel Package
encoredigitalgroup/laravel-operations
Laravel Operations is a package for encapsulating business logic in discrete, reusable operation classes, keeping controllers and jobs thin and making workflows testable, composable, and easier to maintain across your Laravel application.
[READ-ONLY MIRROR] Run operations once after deployment - just like you do it with migrations!
Frequently asked questions about Laravel Operations
- What is encoredigitalgroup/laravel-operations used for?
- Laravel Operations is used to run one-time operations after deployment, similar to how migrations run once. It also lets you encapsulate business logic in discrete, reusable operation classes so controllers and jobs stay thin. This makes workflows easier to test, compose, and maintain in a Laravel application.
- How do I install encoredigitalgroup/laravel-operations with Composer?
- Install it with composer require encoredigitalgroup/laravel-operations. After Composer finishes, follow the README for any publishing or setup steps, such as config files or migrations. Because this repository is a read-only mirror, confirm the latest install instructions against the canonical package source.
- How does Laravel Operations make sure an operation only runs once?
- The package is designed around operations that run once after deployment, much like migrations. It should track which operations have already executed so later deploys do not repeat them. Check the README for the exact tracking mechanism, storage table, and command names.
- Can I run operations automatically during deployment?
- Yes, you can call the package's operation command from your deployment script after migrations have run. Automating the step helps ensure one-time business logic executes once per environment without manual intervention. Confirm the exact command name and required ordering in the README.
- Do Laravel Operations replace database migrations?
- No, operations are not a replacement for migrations. Migrations handle schema changes, while operations are for discrete business logic or data tasks that should run once after deployment. Use migrations for database structure and operations for one-time application tasks.
- How do I test operation classes in a Laravel application?
- Because operations are discrete classes, you can instantiate them in tests and call their execution method directly. Assert the expected database state, dispatched jobs, or other side effects using Laravel's testing helpers. Mock external services as usual so tests stay fast and deterministic.
- Which Laravel versions does encoredigitalgroup/laravel-operations support?
- The provided package context does not list specific Laravel version constraints. Check the package's composer.json and README for the supported PHP and Laravel versions before installing. Pin a compatible version and run your test suite in CI before upgrading Laravel.
- Can operation classes be composed into larger workflows?
- Yes, the package is intended to support discrete, reusable operation classes that can be composed into workflows. That approach keeps controllers and jobs thin and makes multi-step processes easier to test and maintain. Refer to the README for recommended composition patterns.
- How is this different from Laravel jobs, events, or service classes?
- Jobs and events are great for asynchronous processing and reactions, while service classes are general-purpose helpers. Operations are focused on discrete, one-time post-deployment tasks that you want tracked like migrations. Use operations for one-time business logic and keep jobs for repeatable background work.
- Is encoredigitalgroup/laravel-operations maintained and safe for production?
- This repository is a read-only mirror, so check the canonical repository for release activity, issue history, and maintenance status before adopting it. Review the code and Composer constraints, then test the package in staging before production. For one-time operations, back up data and aim for idempotent logic where possible.
