Ajax and DB update return types

Hello

If I have an ajax call to some method in my controller, which updates the DB, what is a proper way to return the status to the frontend?

do you return response(...) with the correct code? Or something else?

thanks

If you need to customize the returned message, you can do that.

Otherwise I think it's not necessary because Laravel returns automatically the correct code. That's what I notice with my API methods.

If you want to be explicit, you could do return response()->noContent(); which will provide a 204 status code for a successful update.
