Contracts Laravel Package
illuminate/contracts
Laravel’s core contract interfaces for frameworks and packages. Provides stable abstractions for services like cache, queue, events, routing, validation, and more, enabling clean dependency injection and easy swapping of implementations across the ecosystem.
Product Decisions This Supports
- Modular architecture: Standardized interfaces (cache, queue, mail, etc.) enable loose coupling, allowing teams to swap implementations (e.g., custom Redis cache driver) without rewriting business logic.
- Build vs buy: Eliminates need to reinvent interface layers—Laravel’s contracts are battle-tested, community-maintained, and reduce engineering effort.
- Roadmap alignment: Ensures new features and third-party packages remain compatible with Laravel’s ecosystem (e.g., custom drivers for core services integrate seamlessly).
- Use cases: Building Laravel-compatible packages, implementing test doubles in unit tests, or decoupling
