Answer 1

You may use

// return $request;
if($request->header('Token') == '123')
{
        $response = [
            'status' => 2,
            'message' => 'Unauthorized',
        ];

        return response()->json($response, 413);
}
else
{
        return $next($request);
}

Answer 2

I face the same problem but not find any answer on the internet. Here is the solution to how I solved this issue.

Step 1: Create a separate route for example

Route::get('header_token', function() {
  return response()->json(['status' =>2, 'msg' => 'Unathorized']);
})->name('header_token');

Step 2: Redirect to header_token route

keep in mind you can not return data as response, so return to a route that will return your data

public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{

    if($request->header('Token') == '123')
    {
        return redirect(route('header_token'));
    }
    else
    {
        return $next($request);
    }

}

Answer 3

if (auth()->user()) {
    return $next($request);
}else{
    return JsonResponse::respondError("you are not active email");
}

Answer 4

I solved this problem like this

exit(response()->json( json_encode(['message' => 'Text']), 403) );

echo() - var_dump() - print() - print_r() - also works too...
