How to catch errors and best practices?

I'm performing various tasks on an eloquent model.

e.g.

Flight Repository

function store($request){

    $flight = new Flight;

    $flight->name = $request->name;

    $flight->save();
}

This method is called from a controller:

public function store(FlightRepository $flight, $request){

    $flight->store($request);

}

How should one approach potential errors? try/catch? Where should it be placed in the controller or repository? What would I catch anyway, what exception type?

According to Laravel 5.0 and above,

All the Exceptions thrown in any part of the Laravel App, the exceptions are catched inside the report() method of Exception/Handler.php file, like this:

UPDATED

Your Repo should throw an Exception like this:

class CustomRepository extends Repository
{
    public function repoMethod($id)
    {
      $model = Model::find($id);

      // Throw your custom exception here ...
      if(!$model) {
          throw new CustomException("My Custom Message");
      }
    }
}

And your Handler should handle the CustomException like this:

/**
 * Report or log an exception.
 *
 * This is a great spot to send exceptions to Sentry, Bugsnag, etc.
 *
 * @param  \Exception  $exception
 * @return void
 */
public function report(Exception $exception)
{
    // Handle your exceptions here...
    if($exception instanceof CustomException)
       return view('your_desired_view')->with('message' => $exception->getMessage());
    parent::report($exception);
}

Hope this helps!
