在Laravel / Lumen控制器中返回数据

Question

So I know you can pass data to a view in laravel like so;

return view('pages.index', ['year' => $year, 'b' => $cookie]);

But what if I'm not returning a view ? Basically I have a the below setup;

route -> controller  // on API server

With the request coming from my web server

I know I can pass a string from my controller like so;

$response = "Valid";
return $response;

So I get Valid as a response in my Angular request

success (function(response, status, headers, config){
   if (response == "Valid") .....
})

Can I pass data and then access it there? In addition to "Valid" like is done here return view('pages.index', ['year' => $year, 'b' => $cookie]);

If you return an array of scalar values, an object implementing Jsonable interface or array of such objects, Laravel will automatically serialize it and return JSON response.

Try the following:

 return ['year' => $year, 'b' => $cookie];
