AJAX Json response in Session

Hello Guys,

I'm trying to figure out how to get the response from JSON into my Session::

Here's my in statement in blade

  @if(Session::has('success'))
   <div class="alert alert-success">
   {{Session::get('success')}}
   </div>
   @endif

Here's the ajax request

<script>
        $( document ).ready(function() {

            $.ajaxSetup({
            headers: {
            'X-CSRF-TOKEN': $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content')
            }
            });
            
           $( "#status" ).change(function() {
                var status = $('#status').prop('checked');
                if(status == true){
                    var statusValue = 1;
                }else{
                    statusValue = 0;
                }
                let _token   = $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content');
                //alert(statusValue);


                $.ajax({
                type:'POST',
                url:"{{ route('statusRequest.post') }}",
                data:{id:2, status:statusValue},
                success:function(response){
                    console.log(response);
                    if(response) {
                        $('.success').text(response.success);
                        }
                    },
               });                
                               
            }); // End Status change
        }); // End Doc ready
        </script>

Here's the controller

class AjaxController extends Controller
{
    public function updateStatus(Request $request)
    {
        $id = $request->get('id');
        $application = Application::find($id);
        $application->status = $request->get('status');
        $application->save();
        // Set up JSON respons for success message
       if($application->status == 1){
           $message = "Enabled";
       }else{
           $message = "Disabled";
       }

        return response()->json(['success'=>"Component has been $message"]);
    }
}

Finally, here is the JSON response I get back in the console

{success: "Component has been Disabled"}  or {success: "Component has been Enabled"}

Basically I'm trying to get it to flash a message when the values changes.

Thanks in Advance!
