CommonQueryScopes trait with:
- filterByDate() - Date range filtering
- searchByTitle() - Full-text search
- filterByLocation() - Location-based filtering

Comprehensive Validation

6 Form Request classes for input validation
Field-level error messages
Consistent validation rules

API Versioning

Prefix-based versioning (/api/v1/)
Easy to maintain multiple API versions
Future-proof architecture

Middleware Integration

Authentication middleware for protected routes
Authorization middleware for role-based access
Rate limiting middleware for abuse prevention

📊 Statistics

18 API Endpoints fully implemented
5 Controllers (auth, events, tickets, bookings, payments)
6 Request Classes for validation
5 Models with relationships
1 Service Class (PaymentService)
1 Trait (CommonQueryScopes)
2000+ Lines of production code
5 Documentation Files (10000+ lines of guides)

🚫 Rate Limiting

Current Configuration

Auth Endpoints: 5 requests per minute
- Prevents brute force attacks
- Applied to /register and /login
Data Operations: 30 requests per minute
- Applied to POST, PUT, DELETE operations
- Protects against API abuse

Response Headers

When rate limited, responses include:

X-RateLimit-Limit: 5
X-RateLimit-Remaining: 0
Retry-After: 60

🔄 Payment Processing (Mock)

The API includes a mock payment processor with:

90% Success Rate (for realistic testing)
10% Failure Rate (test error handling)
Automatic Status Updates on payment processing
Ticket Quantity Tracking on successful payment

To Integrate Real Payment Provider:

Replace PaymentService implementation
Update payment processing logic
Add webhook handlers
Configure payment credentials in .env

  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "title": "Tech Conference 2026",
    "description": "Annual tech conference",
    "date": "2026-06-15 09:00:00",
    "location": "San Francisco"
  }'

  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"

See API_DOCUMENTATION.md for complete API reference.

🐛 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Q: 401 Unauthorized

Ensure Authorization header includes Bearer token
Verify token hasn't expired
Check user exists in database

Q: 403 Forbidden

Verify user has required role
Check middleware is correctly configured
Ensure user ID matches resource ownership

Q: 422 Validation Error

Check all required fields are provided
Verify data types match expectations
Review Form Request validation rules

Q: 429 Too Many Requests

Wait for Retry-After duration
Reduce request frequency
Adjust throttle settings if needed
