Basic Responses
Of course, all routes and controllers should return some kind of response to be sent back to the
user’s browser. Laravel provides several different ways to return responses. The most basic response
is simply returning a string from a route or controller:
.
1 Route::get('/', function () {
2 return 'Hello World';
3 });
The given string will automatically be converted into an HTTP response by the framework.
However, for most routes and controller actions, you will be returning a full Illuminate\Http\Response
instance or a view. Returning a full Response instance allows you to customize the response’s HTTP
status code and headers. A Response instance inherits from the Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response
class, providing a variety of methods for building HTTP responses:
.
1 use Illuminate\Http\Response;
2
3 Route::get('home', function () {
4 return (new Response($content, $status))
5 ->header('Content-Type', $value);
6 });
For convenience, you may also use the response helper:
