Data Flow

1. HTTP Request → routes/api/v1/api.php
2. Route → Controller (app/Http/Controllers/Api/V1/)
3. Controller → Validate Request (FormRequest or manual)
4. Controller → Call Model or Service
5. Model → Query Database (Eloquent ORM)
6. Database → Return Data
7. Controller → Format Response (JSON Resource or array)
8. HTTP Response → Client

// 1. Route (routes/vendor.php)
Route::post('/packages', [VendorPackageController::class, 'store'])
    ->middleware('auth:vendor');
 
// 2. Controller (app/Http/Controllers/Vendor/PackageController.php)
public function store(PackageStoreRequest $request)
{
    // 3. Validation already done by PackageStoreRequest
 
    // 4. Create package

                'additional_charge' => $optionData['additional_charge'],
            ]);
        }
