Thank you for this. Also you can use the ModelNotFound exception to handle the specifically model not found exceptions

[isururanawaka]

Thanks for the tutorial. Helped me in my production app.

[TheMarcelitto]

Another aproche, if you use try catch you can catch the specific model not found exception, and then customize the return message

I add two macros to the Builder class "findOrFailWithMessage" and "firstOrFailWithMessage".

Builder::macro('findOrFailWithMessage', function (string $id, string $message = null) {

return $this->find($id) ?: abort(404, $message ?: ?: "Resource could not be found");
});

I have a question. How I can return a json in laravel api, if user is not authenticated ? I use laravel Sactum

[soniablanche]

The reason why it sends html if Accept: application/json is not set is because there a bunch of Laravel code that looks like this.
request()->wantsJson() : (send json) ? (send html)

[alexprezmon]

Thanks for the video. I'm having trouble trying to implement this. I did exactly what you did and always get this response in Postman:
"message": "Attempt to read property \"id\" on null",
"exception": "ErrorException",
What should I do. Thank you.

thnax too much, what about error 500 in api, please.

[parimalbhattarai]

if we have get /users/{id}/roles/{role_id}, object not found does not provide enough info like weather role is not found or user not found ? how can we solve this ?

[tomjerry-nxdl]

if someone forgots to put accep: application/json on the header, can we do this? - create a middleware and add accept: application/json on the header and apply that middleware to all api. is this way right?

[alexandresoffiattisantos]

I have a doubt. How could I use this in a test. In order to improve the quality of my application ?
