重构我在Laravel 5中实现存储库的代码

Question

I'm refactoring all my DB Access related to my User Model in my Laravel app implementing Repositories.

So, now, all my DB Access ( I use Eloquent ) go through my UserRepository.

But I still have some eloquent operations in my model User:

class User extends Model{
....
public static function boot()
{
    parent::boot();
    static::creating(function ($user) {
        $softDeletedUser = User::onlyTrashed()->where('email', '=', $user->email)->first();
        if ($softDeletedUser != null) {
            $softDeletedUser->restore();
            return false;
        } else {
            $user->token = str_random(30);
            if ($user->country_id == 0) {
                $user->addGeoData();
            }


        }
        return true;
    });

I don't know what to do with that because:

1. It's about my User Model, not my Controller
2. It is a static method, so I don't know how to pass $this with (use)
3. I guess there is something wrong with that....

So... What should I do in this situation?

I don't think that you really need to move that query into a repository but it's up to you to decide. If you really need to reuse that code, add the query into a repository class and use it. Using the same query on 2 places isn't really a big deal but it might become a problem if you have more than 2 places.
