Example:

// config/api-response.php
'show_validation_failed_message'  => 'first',

// Output

{
    "status": false,
    "message": "The name field is required."
}

public function index() {
    $user = User::query()->first();

    $token = Uuid::uuid4();

    return ResponseBuilder::asSuccess()->with('auth_token', $token)->withData($user)->build();
}

// Output:
Status: 200 OK
{
    "status": true,
    "auth_token": "21d97007-e2b9-4ee1-86b1-3cfb96787436",

            "name": "Prof. Bell Hayes",
            "email": "[email protected]",

        .
    ],
    "meta": {
        "total_page": 14,
        "current_page": 1,
        "total_item": 40,

Example : Pagination and you are using JsonResource

public function index() {
    $user = User::query()->paginate(3);

    return ResponseBuilder::asSuccess()->withPagination($user, UserResource::class)->build();
}

// Output:
Status: 200 OK
{
    "status": true,
    "data": [
        {
            "id": 1,
            "name": "Prof. Bell Hayes",
            "email": "[email protected]"
        },
        .
        .
    ],
    "meta": {
        "total_page": 14,
        "current_page": 1,
        "total_item": 40,
        "per_page": 3
    },
