laravel eloquent resources api send status code

Question

In Laravel 5.5 We can set API through resources (https://laracasts.com/series/whats-new-in-laravel-5-5/episodes/20), but how can we send STATUS CODE?

Also how should I set status dynamically which is defined in with()

//namespace App\Http\Resources;

//use Illuminate\Http\Resources\Json\Resource;

//class User extends Resource 

public function with($request)
{
    return [
        'status' => 'success',
    ];
}

You can use the method setStatusCode() from response():

use App\User;
use App\Http\Resources\User as UserResource;

Route::get('/user', function () {
    return (new UserResource(User::find(1)))
               ->response()
               ->setStatusCode(200);
});
