Use cases (in laravel these are called jobs)

Do this workflow for the very important and complicated things in your system that have many operations

Don't unit test it, it's hard for testing

Instead of mudding our controller with many operations:

class PurchasesController extends Controller
{
    public function store()
    {
        // different
        // operations
        // for purchasing
        // something


        return redirect('/');
    }
}

We can use laravel jobs:

class PurchasesController extends Controller
{
    public function store()
    {
        dispatch(new PurchaseSomething());

        return redirect('/');
    }
}

// use jobs (php artisan make:job PurchaseSomething)
class PurchaseSomething extends Job
{
    public function handle()
    {
        $this->preparePurchase()
            ->sendEmail();
    }

    protected function preparePurchase()
    {
        var_dump('preparing the purchase');

        return $this;
    }

    protected function sendEmail()
    {
        var_dump('sending email');

        return $this;
    }
}
