php - Laravel 5 return JSON or View depends if ajax or not -

i know if there magic method use scenario :

if call page via ajax request controller returns json object, otherwise returns view, i'm trying on controllers without changin each method.

for example know can :

if (request::ajax()) return compact($object1, $object2); else return view('template', compact($object, $object2)); 

but have lot of controllers/methods, , prefer change basic behavior instead of spending time change of them. idea ?

the easiest way make method shared between of controllers.

example:

this controller class other controllers extend:

<?php namespace app\http\controllers;  use illuminate\routing\controller basecontroller;  abstract class controller extends basecontroller {     protected function makeresponse($template, $objects = [])     {         if (\request::ajax()) {             return json_encode($objects);         }          return view($template, $objects);     } } 

and 1 of controllers extending it:

<?php namespace app\http\controllers;  class mycontroller extends controller {     public function index()     {         $object = new object1;         $object2 = new object2;          return $this->makeresponse($template, compact($object, $object2));     } }
