Laravel how to response only 204 code status with no body message

Question

I am using

return response(null,204);

because I would like to return an empty body message, but the problem is that when I parse the response with a ruby code

JSON.parse(res.body)

I get some body message:

{"data"=>[]}

so how can I avoid to return this "data" and instead return only the status code?

Answer 1

You can also do return response()->noContent();

Answer 2

Try return Response::make("", 204);

Update: Mark's answer is more up to date:

return response()->noContent()

Answer 3

You may return null:

return response(null, 204);

Edit: I didn't read the question before answering and I notice now that you are already doing this. I recommend you just do an empty / null check on the body in your Ruby code if possible.
