Laravel Response::json() with numeric check
You can actually pass that option over. If we take a look at the source code for the JsonResponse class you can pass json_encode options as the last parameter.
It would look something like this
return Response::json($properties, 200, [], JSON_NUMERIC_CHECK);Alternatively you could do this:
return Response::make( $properties->toJson(JSON_NUMERIC_CHECK), 200, ['Content-Type' => 'application/json'] );Note: if $properties is not an Elequoent model then it must at least implement the JsonableInterface
as well as:
return Response::make( json_encode($properties->toArray(), JSON_NUMERIC_CHECK), 200, ['Content-Type' => 'application/json'] );The toJson() method in Eloquent just wraps json_encode() and passes it the array of your model. I'd recommend using one of the first two options.
