Laravel Api

This is Steve's opinionated take on building Laravel REST APIs with strict architectural boundaries. Everything is stateless, explicitly typed, and organized by resource. You get invokable controllers, form request DTOs with payload methods, single-purpose Action classes, and ULID-based models. Routes are versioned with HTTP Sunset headers baked in. The code quality section is aggressive about PSR-12, no nested ternaries, and preserving exact behavior during refactors. If you want a prescriptive pattern that eliminates decision fatigue on API structure, this locks you into a defensible convention. Good for teams that need consistency or solo devs tired of reinventing routing organization.
