Using Trait inside Models

AbsenceCalendarController.php

<?php

namespace App\Controller\AbsenceCalendarController;


class EmployeeAbsenceCalendar extends Controller
{
    protected $employee;

    public function __construct(User $employee)
    {
        $this->employee = $employee;
    }

    /*
    * use by user instance, inside Controller (employee is instance of User)
    */
    public function index(Request $request)
    {
        return $employee->targetHourDayForDate($request->date),
    }

HasTargetHoursTrait.php

<?php

namespace App\Traits;

/**
* create a trait class containing reusable methods collection
* 
*/
trait HasTargetHours
{
    public function targetHourDayForDate(Carbon $date)
    {
        return $this->getTargetHour($date)
        ->week_days
        ->getDayForDate($date);
    }
}

User.php

<?php

use App\Models;

/*
 * example import inside User Model
 */
class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use TargetHours;
    
    //...
}

compile repetitive methods that can be use in numerous independent classes, here imported inside Models. Also can be use inside Controllers.
