Laravel JSON response trait. This trait makes it easy for any controller to return a JSON response with the appropriate HTTP status code.

Via composer:

composer require imdhemy/jsonable

All that you need is to use the Jsonable trait inside your controller.

Example:

<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Imdhemy\Jsonable\Jsonable;

class CountryController extends Controller
{
    use Jsonable;

    public function index()
    {
        $data = \App\Country::get();
        return $this->ok($data, 'countries');
    }
}

The previous code will return a JSON response like the following:

  {
    "countries": [
        {
            "name": "Egypt",
            "capital": "Cairo",
        },
           ...
    ]
}

The parent key is optional, you can ommit it:

$data = \App\Country::get();
return $this->ok($data);

The response will be like the following:

[
 {
  "name": "Egypt",
  "capital": "Cairo",
  },
        ...
]
