A Laravel package for creating rich, typed data objects that can replace form requests, API transformers, and TypeScript definitions. Data is described once and can be validated, transformed into resources, constructed from request data, and exported as TypeScript.

Use cases

• create typed data transfer objects in Laravel
• replace Laravel form requests with data objects
• generate TypeScript definitions from PHP classes
• validate request data automatically in Laravel
• transform data objects into API resources
• avoid duplicating properties across DTOs, resources, and validation

When to choose

• you build Laravel APIs and want typed data flowing in and out
• you're tired of writing the same properties in form requests, transformers, and DTOs
• you want automatic validation rules derived from PHP types
• you share data structures between a Laravel backend and a TypeScript frontend

When to avoid

• you don't use Laravel or PHP 8.1+
• you prefer lightweight DTOs without magic transformation behavior
• your project sticks to plain Laravel form requests and API resources
