Laravel 5.1 Custom HTTP Status Code and Status Text

Take a look here:

• http://laravel.com/docs/master/errors#http-exceptions
• http://laravel.com/docs/master/responses#basic-responses

abort(401, 'You need to login again.');

// or

response('You need to login again.', 401);

Thanks @krballard94 , but I'm still getting same status text. Like you mentioned above

response('You need to login again.', 401);

line does the same. I am getting the message in response body.

Did you find a solution? Having the same problem...

@2serve use:

//example
return response()->setStatusCode(201, 'The resource is created successfully!');

Usman.

Hi Usman,

i get a 'Method setStatusCode does not exist.' error using your code.

You pushed me in the good direction, thanks.

the following works but a one-liner would be great..

use Illuminate\Http\Response;
...
$response = new Response();
return $response->setStatusCode(201, 'The resource is created successfully!');

Nice Regards, Kristof

@2serve - thank you for this. Here's your one-liner:

return (new \Illuminate\Http\Response)->setStatusCode(201, 'The resource is created successfully!');

Some alternative:

1. response('The resource is created successfully, 200);
2. response()->json(['status' => 'The resource is created successfully'], 200);

Laravel version: 5.5

I am trying to return custom http status code from the laravel controller. (Calling this url using jQuery Ajax $.get())

In my controller function I tried both the way mentioned bellow but it's not working.

1. This one returns error "Method setStatusCode does not exist."

   return response()->setStatusCode(202);
   

2. This one not throwing error but returning 200 always.

   $response = new Response();
   $response->setStatusCode(202);
   $response->header('custom', 555);
   return $response;`
   

Below is also not returning 200 ok:

return response()->json("response content", 202);
//or
return response()->make("response content", 202);
