⚡ Advanced Features
-------------------

[](#-advanced-features)

### Custom Validation

[](#custom-validation)

    return [
        'name' => 'required|string|max:255|unique:products',
        'price' => 'required|numeric|min:0',
        'description' => 'nullable|string|max:1000',
    ];
}
```

### Custom API Resources

[](#custom-api-resources)

Enhance the generated resource classes:

```
// In ProductResource.php
public function toArray($request)
{
    return [
        'id' => $this->id,
        'name' => $this->name,
        'price' => number_format($this->price, 2),
        'description' => $this->description,
        'formatted_price' => '$' . number_format($this->price, 2),
        'category' => new CategoryResource($this->whenLoaded('category')),
        'created_at' => $this->created_at->format('Y-m-d H:i:s'),
        'updated_at' => $this->updated_at->format('Y-m-d H:i:s'),
