To return a JSON response from a controller action in Laravel, you can use the json
method on the response object. Here's an example:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 |
use IlluminateHttpResponse; class MyController extends Controller { public function someAction() { $data = [ 'name' => 'John', 'age' => 30, ]; return response()->json($data); } } |
This will return a JSON response with the following body:
1 2 3 4 |
{ "name": "John", "age": 30 } |
Alternatively, you can use the json
global helper function, which is a shortcut for creating a new IlluminateHttpJsonResponse
instance:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 |
use IlluminateSupportFacadesResponse; class MyController extends Controller { public function someAction() { $data = [ 'name' => 'John', 'age' => 30, ]; return json($data); } } |
Both of these approaches will set the appropriate Content-Type
header in the response, indicating that the response body is in JSON format.
