laravel:controller-cleanup

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses controller bloat in Laravel applications by promoting best practices that lead to cleaner, more maintainable, and testable code.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Form Request Integration: Offloads authorization and validation logic from controllers.
• Action/Service Extraction: Encourages the separation of business logic into dedicated classes.
• DTO Usage: Facilitates clean data transfer between layers.
• Controller Specialization: Promotes the use of resource or single-action controllers.
• Use Case: Refactor a large UserController with complex validation and user creation logic into a StoreUserRequest, a CreateUserAction, and a leaner controller.

Quick Start

Refactor the current controller to use Form Requests for validation and extract business logic into a separate action class.
