+{
+    public function register(Request $request)
+    {
+        // Validation logic...
+        // User creation logic...
+        // Email sending logic...
+        // Queue processing...
+        // 200 lines later...
+    }
+}
+
+// ✅ The Actionable way - Clean, focused, reusable
+RegisterUser::run($userData);

+## 📚 Documentation
+
+### ⚡ Actions
 
-namespace App\Actions;
+Actions are the heart of your application's business logic. They're single-purpose classes that do one thing and do it well.
 
-use LumoSolutions\Actionable\Traits\IsRunnable;
-use LumoSolutions\Actionable\Traits\IsDispatchable;
+#### Basic Actions
 
-class ProcessLargeDataset
+```php
+class CalculateOrderTotal
 {
-    use IsRunnable, IsDispatchable;
+    use IsRunnable;
 
-    public function handle(array $data): void
+    public function handle(Order $order): float
     {
-        // Process large dataset
-        foreach ($data as $item) {
-            // Heavy processing logic
-        }
+        return $order->items->sum(fn($item) => $item->price * $item->quantity);
     }
 }
+
+// Usage
+$total = CalculateOrderTotal::run($order);
 ```
 
-### Dispatching Actions to Queue
+#### Queueable Actions
+
+Need background processing? Just add a trait!
 
 ```php
-// Dispatch to default queue
-ProcessLargeDataset::dispatch($largeDataArray);
+class ProcessVideoUpload
+{
+    use IsRunnable, IsDispatchable;
 
-// Dispatch to specific queue
-ProcessLargeDataset::dispatchOn('heavy-processing', $largeDataArray);
-```
+    public function handle(Video $video): void
+    {
+        // Heavy processing logic here
+    }
+}
 
-## Creating DTOs with Array Conversion
+// Run synchronously
+ProcessVideoUpload::run($video);
 
-### Basic DTO
+// Or dispatch to queue
+ProcessVideoUpload::dispatch($video);
 
-```php
-<?php
+// Use a specific queue
+ProcessVideoUpload::dispatchOn('video-processing', $video);
+```
 
-namespace App\DTOs;
+### 🗄️ Data Transfer Objects (DTOs)
 
-use LumoSolutions\Actionable\Traits\ArrayConvertible;
+DTOs with superpowers! Convert between arrays and objects seamlessly.
 
-class UserData
+```php
+class ProductData
 {
     use ArrayConvertible;
 
     public function __construct(
         public string $name,
-        public string $email,
-        public int $age
+        public float $price,
+        public int $stock
     ) {}
 }
-```
 
-### Using the DTO
+// From request data
+$product = ProductData::fromArray($request->validated());
 
-```php
-// Create from array
-$userData = UserData::fromArray([
-    'name' => 'John Doe',
-    'email' => 'john@example.com',
-    'age' => 30
-]);
-
-// Convert to array
-$array = $userData->toArray();
+// To API response
+return response()->json($product->toArray());
 ```
 
-## Attributes Reference
-
-The package provides several attributes to customize array conversion behavior. All attributes can be applied to constructor parameters or class properties.
+### 🏷️ Powerful Attributes
 
-### #[FieldName] - Custom Field Mapping
-
-Map property names to different array keys:
+#### `#[FieldName]` - API-Friendly Naming
 
 ```php
-<?php
-
-use LumoSolutions\Actionable\Attributes\FieldName;
-
-class ApiResponse
+class UserResponse
 {
     use ArrayConvertible;
 
@@ -141,351 +175,177 @@ class ApiResponse
         public int $userId,
         
         #[FieldName('full_name')]
-        public string $fullName,
-        
-        #[FieldName('email_address')]
-        public string $email
+        public string $fullName
     ) {}
 }
-
-// Usage
-$response = ApiResponse::fromArray([
-    'user_id' => 123,
-    'full_name' => 'John Doe',
-    'email_address' => 'john@example.com'
-]);
-
-$array = $response->toArray();
-// Returns: ['user_id' => 123, 'full_name' => 'John Doe', 'email_address' => 'john@example.com']
 ```
 
-### #[DateFormat] - Date Serialization Control
-
-Control how DateTime objects are formatted during array conversion:
+#### `#[DateFormat]` - Date Formatting Made Easy
 
 ```php
-<?php
-
-use LumoSolutions\Actionable\Attributes\DateFormat;
-
 class EventData
 {
     use ArrayConvertible;
 
     public function __construct(
-        public string $title,
-        
         #[DateFormat('Y-m-d')]
-        public DateTime $eventDate,
+        public DateTime $date,
         
-        #[DateFormat('H:i:s')]
-        public DateTime $startTime,
-        
-        #[DateFormat('c')] // ISO 8601 format
-        public DateTime $createdAt,
-        
-        public DateTime $updatedAt // Uses default format 'Y-m-d H:i:s'
+        #[DateFormat('H:i')]
+        public DateTime $startTime
     ) {}
 }
-
-// Usage
-$event = new EventData(
-    title: 'Conference 2024',
-    eventDate: new DateTime('2024-06-15'),
-    startTime: new DateTime('2024-06-15 09:00:00'),
-    createdAt: new DateTime(),
-    updatedAt: new DateTime()
-);
-
-$array = $event->toArray();
-// Returns formatted dates according to their attributes
 ```
 
-### #[ArrayOf] - Nested Object Arrays
-
-Handle arrays containing objects of a specific class:
+#### `#[ArrayOf]` - Handle Nested Objects
 
 ```php
-<?php
-
-use LumoSolutions\Actionable\Attributes\ArrayOf;
-
-class OrderItem
-{
-    use ArrayConvertible;
-    
-    public function __construct(
-        public string $name,
-        public int $quantity,
-        public float $price
-    ) {}
-}
-
-class Order
+class ShoppingCart
 {
     use ArrayConvertible;
 
     public function __construct(
-        public string $orderNumber,
-        
-        #[ArrayOf(OrderItem::class)]
-        public array $items,
-        
-        #[ArrayOf(OrderItem::class)]
-        public array $bundleItems = []
+        #[ArrayOf(CartItem::class)]
+        public array $items
     ) {}
 }
-
-// Usage
-$order = Order::fromArray([
-    'orderNumber' => 'ORD-001',
-    'items' => [
-        ['name' => 'Laptop', 'quantity' => 1, 'price' => 999.99],
-        ['name' => 'Mouse', 'quantity' => 2, 'price' => 25.00]
-    ],
-    'bundleItems' => [
-        ['name' => 'Cable', 'quantity' => 1, 'price' => 15.00]
-    ]
-]);
-
-// The arrays are automatically converted to OrderItem objects
-echo $order->items[0]->name; // 'Laptop'
 ```
 
-### #[Ignore] - Exclude from Conversion
-
-Exclude sensitive or computed properties from array conversion:
+#### `#[Ignore]` - Keep Secrets Secret
 
 ```php
-<?php
-
-use LumoSolutions\Actionable\Attributes\Ignore;
-
 class UserAccount
 {
     use ArrayConvertible;
 
     public function __construct(
-        public string $username,
         public string $email,
         
         #[Ignore]
         public string $password,
         
         #[Ignore]
-        public string $apiKey,
-        
-        public DateTime $createdAt
+        public string $apiSecret
     ) {}
-    
-    #[Ignore]
-    public function getFullProfile(): array
-    {
-        // This method won't be included in array conversion
-        return ['username' => $this->username, 'email' => $this->email];
-    }
 }
-
-// Usage
-$user = new UserAccount(
-    username: 'johndoe',
-    email: 'john@example.com',
-    password: 'secret123',
-    apiKey: 'api_key_here',
-    createdAt: new DateTime()
-);
-
-$array = $user->toArray();
-// Returns: ['username' => 'johndoe', 'email' => 'john@example.com', 'createdAt' => '2024-01-01 12:00:00']
-// Password and apiKey are excluded
 ```
 
-### Combining Attributes
+### 🛠️ Artisan Commands
 
-You can combine multiple attributes on the same property:
+Generate boilerplate with style:
 
-```php
-<?php
+```bash
+# Basic action
+php artisan make:action ProcessOrder
 
-class UserProfile
-{
-    use ArrayConvertible;
+# Queueable action
+php artisan make:action SendNewsletter --dispatchable
 
-    public function __construct(
-        #[FieldName('user_id')]
-        public int $userId,
-        
-        #[FieldName('birth_date')]
-        #[DateFormat('Y-m-d')]
-        public DateTime $birthDate,
-        
-        #[FieldName('contact_emails')]
-        #[ArrayOf(EmailAddress::class)]  
-        public array $emails,
-        
-        #[Ignore]
-        public string $internalNotes
-    ) {}
-}
+# Invokable action
+php artisan make:action CalculateShipping --invokable
+
+# DTO with array conversion
+php artisan make:dto OrderData
 ```
 
-### Real-World Example
+## 🌟 Real-World Examples
 
-Here's a comprehensive example showing all attributes working together:
+### E-commerce Order Processing
 
 ```php
-<?php
-
-class CustomerOrder
+// The DTO
+class OrderData
 {
     use ArrayConvertible;
 
     public function __construct(
-        #[FieldName('order_id')]
-        public string $orderId,
+        #[FieldName('customer_email')]
+        public string $customerEmail,
         
-        #[FieldName('customer_info')]
-        public CustomerInfo $customer,
-        
-        #[FieldName('order_items')]
-        #[ArrayOf(OrderItem::class)]
+        #[ArrayOf(OrderItemData::class)]
         public array $items,
         
-        #[FieldName('order_date')]
-        #[DateFormat('Y-m-d')]
-        public DateTime $orderDate,
-        
-        #[FieldName('delivery_time')]
-        #[DateFormat('H:i')]
-        public DateTime $estimatedDelivery,
-        
-        #[Ignore]
-        public string $internalNotes,
-        
-        #[Ignore]
-        public float $internalCost
+        #[FieldName('discount_code')]
+        public ?string $discountCode = null
     ) {}
 }
 
-// This creates a clean API response while protecting sensitive data
-$order = CustomerOrder::fromArray($apiData);
-$response = $order->toArray(); // Clean, formatted output ready for API
-```
-
-## Artisan Commands
-
-The package provides convenient Artisan commands to generate boilerplate code:
-
-### Generate Action Classes
-
-```bash
-# Generate basic runnable action
-php artisan make:action SendNotification
-
-# Generate dispatchable action (can be queued)
-php artisan make:action ProcessPayment --dispatchable
-
-# Generate invokable action
-php artisan make:action CalculateTotal --invokable
-```
-
-The `make:action` command supports the following options:
-- `--dispatchable` - Adds the `IsDispatchable` trait for queueing support
-- `--invokable` - Creates an invokable action (uses `action.invokable.stub`)
-
-### Generate DTO Classes
-
-```bash
-# Generate basic DTO with array conversion capabilities
-php artisan make:dto UserRegistrationData
-```
-
-### Custom Stubs
-
-You can publish and customize the stubs used by the commands by creating them in your application's `stubs/lumosolutions/actionable/` directory. The package will automatically use your custom stubs if they exist:
+// The Action
+class ProcessOrder
+{
+    use IsRunnable, IsDispatchable;
 
-- `action.stub` - Basic action template
-- `action.dispatchable.stub` - Dispatchable action template
-- `action.invokable.stub` - Invokable action template
-- `dto.stub` - DTO template
+    public function handle(OrderData $orderData): Order
+    {
+        $order = DB::transaction(function () use ($orderData) {
+            $order = Order::create([...]);
+            
+            // Process items
+            foreach ($orderData->items as $item) {
+                $order->items()->create([...]);
+            }
+            
+            // Apply discount
+            if ($orderData->discountCode) {
+                ApplyDiscount::run($order, $orderData->discountCode);
+            }
+            
+            return $order;
+        });
+
+        // Queue follow-up actions
+        SendOrderConfirmation::dispatch($order);
+        UpdateInventory::dispatch($order);
+        
+        return $order;
+    }
+}
 
-Example custom stub location:
-```
-stubs/
-└── lumosolutions/
-    └── actionable/
-        ├── action.stub
-        ├── action.dispatchable.stub
-        ├── action.invokable.stub
-        └── dto.stub
+// Usage - It's this simple!
+$orderData = OrderData::fromArray($request->validated());
+$order = ProcessOrder::run($orderData);
 ```
 
-## Complete Example
-
-Here's a complete example showing how to use actions and DTOs together:
+### User Registration Flow
 
 ```php
-<?php
-
-// DTO for user registration data
-class UserRegistrationData
-{
-    use ArrayConvertible;
-
-    public function __construct(
-        #[FieldName('full_name')]
-        public string $fullName,
-        
-        public string $email,
-        
-        #[DateFormat('Y-m-d')]
-        public DateTime $birthDate,
-        
-        #[Ignore]
-        public string $password
-    ) {}
-}
-
-// Action to process user registration
 class RegisterUser
 {
-    use IsRunnable, IsDispatchable;
+    use IsRunnable;
 
-    public function handle(UserRegistrationData $userData): User
+    public function handle(RegistrationData $data): User
     {
-        // Validate and create user
-        $user = User::create([
-            'name' => $userData->fullName,
-            'email' => $userData->email,
-            'birth_date' => $userData->birthDate,
-            'password' => Hash::make($userData->password)
-        ]);
-
-        // Send welcome email asynchronously
-        SendWelcomeEmail::dispatch($user->email, $user->name);
-
+        $user = CreateUser::run($data);
+        
+        SendWelcomeEmail::dispatch($user);
+        NotifyAdmins::dispatch($user);
+        TrackRegistration::dispatch($user, $data->referralSource);
+        
         return $user;
     }
 }
-
-// Usage
-$registrationData = UserRegistrationData::fromArray($request->all());
-$user = RegisterUser::run($registrationData);
 ```
