        // exceptions
    ],   
];

Class	Status Code	Message
NotFoundException	404	Not Found
ServerInternalException	500	Server Internal Error
AccessDeniedException	403	Access Denied
ValidationException	422	all validation errors
DefaultException	the status code of the Exception	the message of the Exception

🚀 how to let handlers do their job ?

add ApiErrorHandler trait to ExceptionHandler located in app\Exceptions\Handler.php:

<?php  
  
namespace App\Exceptions;  
  
use hamidreza2005\LaravelApiErrorHandler\Traits\ApiErrorHandler;  
use Illuminate\Foundation\Exceptions\Handler as ExceptionHandler;  
use Throwable;  
  
class Handler extends ExceptionHandler  
{  
	  use ApiErrorHandler;  
	  /**  
	 * A list of the exception types that are not reported. * * @var 		array  
	 */  
	 protected $dontReport = [  
		  //  
	  ];  
  
	  /**  
	 * A list of the inputs that are never flashed for validation exceptions. * * @var array  
	 */  
	 protected $dontFlash = [  
		  'password',  
		  'password_confirmation',  
	 ];  
	  /**  
	 * Register the exception handling callbacks for the application. * * @return void  
	 */
	 public function register()  
	 {
	   //  
	 }  
  
	 public function render($request, Throwable $e)  
	 {
		  return $this->handle($this->prepareException($e));  
	 }
 }

Make Your Own Exception Handler!

if you want to make your own handler your class has to extend hamidreza2005\LaravelApiErrorHandler\Handlers\ExceptionHandler

i.e:

<?php  

class MyException extends ExceptionHandler  
{  
	  public function handleStatusCode():void  
	  {  
		  $this->statusCode = 499;  
	  }
	   
	  public function handleMessage():void  
	  {  
		  $this->message = "My Message";  
	  }
 }
