Laravel API Middleware Return JSON all request

Question

My controllers that respond to api request, all respond with data that should be transformed into JSON.

Instead of using json_encode() in every controller, I would like to use middleware to just wrap the response. Since these routes for the API are already protected with the auth:api middleware which from what I have read is defined within the core of Laravel.

How would I go about adding a method to that middleware that would do all the json processing for me? could

you can see an example in this repository github.com/generationtux/json-middleware , hope it will helpful :) — rgen3

In the case of API's it's very common to return just a model or collection.

If you are doing that a return $someData in your API controller, $someData will automatically be converted to JSON and returned with the appropriate headers.

Middleware is unnecessary.
