Best way to handle exceptions in Laravel 8

[martio]

Hi,

Previously, I handled exceptions this way for the API:

<?php
namespace App\Exceptions;

use App\Contracts\Repositories\Exceptions\EntityNotFoundException;
use App\Contracts\Repositories\Exceptions\UnprocessableEntityException;
use Illuminate\Auth\Access\AuthorizationException;
use Illuminate\Auth\AuthenticationException;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\ModelNotFoundException;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Exceptions\Handler as ExceptionHandler;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Http\Response;
use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\MethodNotAllowedHttpException;
use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\NotFoundHttpException;
use Throwable;

class Handler extends ExceptionHandler
{
    /**
     * Render an exception into an HTTP response.
     *
     * @param Request $request
     *
     * @throws Throwable
     *
     * @return \Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response
     */
    public function render($request, Throwable $exception)
    {
        if (!$request->wantsJson() && !$request->ajax()) {
            return parent::render($request, $exception);
        }

        if ($exception instanceof ModelNotFoundException) {
            $message = 'Resource not found';
            $status = Response::HTTP_NOT_FOUND;
        } elseif ($exception instanceof EntityNotFoundException) {
            $message = 'Entity not found';
            $status = Response::HTTP_NOT_FOUND;
        } elseif ($exception instanceof NotFoundHttpException) {
            $message = 'Endpoint not found';
            $status = Response::HTTP_NOT_FOUND;
        } elseif ($exception instanceof AuthenticationException) {
            $message = 'Unauthenticated';
            $status = Response::HTTP_UNAUTHORIZED;
        } elseif ($exception instanceof Authoriz`ationException) {
            $message = 'Unauthorized';
            $status = Response::HTTP_FORBIDDEN;
        } elseif ($exception instanceof MethodNotAllowedHttpException) {
            $message = 'Method not allowed';
            $status = Response::HTTP_METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED;
        } elseif ($exception instanceof UnprocessableEntityException) {
            $message = 'Unprocessable entity';
            $status = Response::HTTP_UNPROCESSABLE_ENTITY;
        } else {
            $message = $exception->getMessage();
            $status = Response::HTTP_BAD_REQUEST;
        }

        return response()->json(
            [
                'message' => $message,
            ],
            $status
        );
    }
}

What's the best way to do it in a new way in Laravel 8?

/**
 * Register the exception handling callbacks for the application.
 *
 * @return void
 */
public function register()
{
    $this->reportable(function (CustomException $e) {
        //
    });
}

Best regards to the community! 👍
