Laravel API Integration Overhaul

I have an existing Laravel backend that already exposes a set of REST APIs. A legacy Blade-based frontend is still attached to the project, but I now have a brand-new standalone frontend (built separately) that should consume those APIs instead.

The job is in two clear parts:

1. Strip out the old Blade views, routes, and related assets so the backend is a clean, API-only service.
2. Adjust, extend, or refactor the current endpoints so the new SPA connects seamlessly.

Key context for you:
• New frontend modules: User Dashboard, Vendor Dashboard and Admin Panel
• The Admin Panel must surface an Analytics Dashboard, so any missing metrics or aggregated data need to be supplied by the backend.
• Authentication, role checks, pagination, and error handling must keep working exactly as they do now (Laravel Sanctum is in place).
• All responses should be JSON, following existing response formats.

Deliverables I expect:
• Updated Laravel project (routes, controllers, tests) with the obsolete frontend fully removed.
• Any new or modified API endpoints documented via Swagger or Postman collection.
• Environment-agnostic setup instructions so the frontend team can run the API locally or on staging without surprises.
• Final smoke test demonstrating the User Dashboard and Admin Panel hitting live endpoints for typical flows (login, data fetch, analytics refresh).

Tools in play: Laravel 10, PHP 8.2, MySQL, Git. Please keep commits granular and push to a private repo I’ll provide.
