Answer 1

I think issue is passing wrong param to package method. $request->file doesn't have validate method. So you have to do pass $request to package method

$files=$request->file('image');
if($files){ 
    $oGreetr = new Greetr();
    return $oGreetr->file_size($request);
}

and in package

public function file_size($request){
   
    
    return $request->validate([
        'image' => 'image|mimes:jpeg,png,jpg,gif,svg|max:2048',
    ]);
}

As $file variable does not have a validate function. You can you the following method to validate the custom variable. Also, use the Validator facade.

public function file_size($request){
    $validator = Validator::make($request->all(), [
            'image' => 'required',
    ]);
    return $validator;
  }
