Laravel API Evolution
Manages the safe and versioned evolution of Laravel APIs using DTOs, transformers, and contract testing.
This skill empowers developers to design and evolve Laravel API architectures without breaking client integrations. It provides structured guidance on implementing explicit versioning strategies, managing data transfer objects (DTOs) for clear data contracts, and executing safe deprecation cycles. By leveraging versioned transformers and comprehensive compatibility testing, it ensures that your backend services remain robust and backward-compatible throughout their lifecycle, allowing for modern development without technical debt.
