"The repository pattern abstracts the data store and enables you to replace your database without changing your business code." This is the worst argument in favor of the repository pattern.

Repository is a simple class that contains database queries.

For example: class IssueTrackerRepository { public function createIssue(IssueData $data): Issue { } public function getIssues(string $status): Collection { } public function getCategories(): Collection { } public function getAttributes(): Collection { }}

In a project where I have services and repositories I usually follow these rules: Repository contains database queries.
