LTO (Laravel Transfer Object)
=============================

[](#lto-laravel-transfer-object)

Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

LTO helps you structure and manage data transfer in your application. It simplifies handling incoming request data, ensures type safety, and improves code clarity.

By leveraging DTOs, you can enforce a consistent data structure, prevent unexpected values, and seamlessly integrate with Laravel’s validation, models, and dependency injection.

🚀 **Why Use LTO?**

✅ Full IDE Auto-Completion Support → Since DTOs use typed properties and constructor parameters, your IDE (PhpStorm, VS Code, etc.) can provide full auto-completion while writing code.

✅ Strict Type Safety → Prevents unexpected data structures and makes your code more predictable.

✅ Improved Code Readability → Instead of working with raw request arrays, DTOs give a structured way to handle incoming data.

✅ Seamless Integration with Laravel → Works natively with request validation, dependency injection, and models.

Installation
------------

You can install LTO via Composer:

```

LTO supports **Laravel 10** and **Laravel 11** and requires **PHP 8.2** or **higher**.

Quick Start
