What is the difference between laravel method vs trait vs facade [closed]
They don't really compare because they're really different things.
A method is a function that belongs to a class.
class MyClass{ public function this_is_a_method() { }}A trait is a means of sharing code between classes. A trait cannot be instantiated, but rather is included into another class. Both classes and traits can define methods.
trait MyTrait{ public function this_is_a_method() { }}Now that I have this trait I can update MyClass to use this trait.
class MyClass{ use MyTrait;}You can think of traits as copy and paste. Now MyClass copies the methods defined in MyTrait so you can do this.
$class = new MyClass();$class->this_is_a_method();Both methods and traits are features of PHP. Facades are a feature of Laravel. Facades are simply syntactic sugar to help get services out of the container.
