Controller Cleanup

Keep controllers small and focused on orchestration.

Move auth/validation to Form Requests

  • Create a Request class (e.g., StoreUserRequest) and use authorize() + 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
