Where to write requests in Laravel? In the model, controller or repository?

Question

Laravel

The following questions have arisen related to using Eloquent ORM queries:
1. Where is the best place to work with Eloquent ORM queries in Laravel? In the documentation examples, nothing is specifically said, they write both in the methods of controllers and in the methods of models.
2. If queries are not written in the model, then how to use QUERY SCOPES, if it is real at all?
3. If you use repositories, then what should be written in the repository, and what should be written in the controller methods?
4. And in general, how to properly organize the structure of an application in Laravel? Where can I read about this for a beginner?
Thanks in advance for your replies.

Answer 1

If the request is of the form Post::with('author'), then it is possible in the controller, if the requests are complex, then take them to services .
There is no need to write queries in models, models for setting up links, scopes, etc.
Query scopes can be used anywhere. For example:
Post::with('author')->customConditions()->get();
