What problem does it solve?

It helps you standardize Laravel exception handling by making business-rule errors easy to throw with consistent HTTP status codes and descriptive messages.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Static factory methods for creating specific exception variants (for example, not found, cannot cancel, insufficient stock, payment failure).
• HTTP status code coupling by returning exceptions with the correct response code directly in the factory.
• HttpExceptionInterface compatibility (via an Httpable concern) so exceptions can be automatically translated into HTTP responses.

Use Case: When an action validates an Order state (pending, cancelable, has items) you can throw a tailored OrderException that surfaces the right status code and message without duplicating logic across controllers/services.
