[Feature]: Spatie Laravel-Query-Builder follow DTO via Spatie Laravel-data

[eelco2k]

What happened?

Allow handlers to conform to DTO. (these also need to be created/generated...)

$query = static::getEloquentQuery();
       $model = static::getModel();

       $query = QueryBuilder::for($query)
       ->allowedFields($model::$allowedFields ?? [])
       ->allowedSorts($model::$allowedSorts ?? [])
       ->allowedFilters($model::$allowedFilters ?? [])
       ->allowedIncludes($model::$allowedIncludes ?? null)
       ->paginate(request()->query('per_page'))
       ->appends(request()->query())
       ;

instead of:

return static::getApiTransformer()::collection($query)

use this:

return static::getApiTransformer()::collection(BlogData::collect($query));

where BlogData is a spatie laravel-data DTO.

The benefit would be that because the DTO knows column types etc. this information can be used to generate correct API Swagger docs for Schemas, Parameters etc.. see:

i think this is good to have, we can use the DTO for request validation too.

i've created a simple version of the DTO implementation in this branch with PR: #57

But as i'm trying to get it to work i notice that it would be easier to generate the docs like xolvionl/laravel-data-openapi-generator does it....
It just directly generates a swagger json from the Routes(). so no annotations needed. When i have more time i think i will convert it like this as this would be easier to maintain instead of re-running the commands for generating a transformer or something...
