Why numeric values in response is double quoted?
Steps To Reproduce: A simple post request to http://task-king.online/api/auth/check
PHP's json_encode has an flag for this: JSON_NUMERIC_CHECK i'am not sure what laravel uses for json encoding but there might be an option.
i would probably go for a parseInt() on the client side and take it like it is
edit: found it
return Response::json($data, 200, [], JSON_NUMERIC_CHECK);
or even better
return response()->json($data)->setEncodingOptions(JSON_NUMERIC_CHECK);
