return 404 laravel code example

Example 1: 404 page in laravel

//step 1 ) create the errors/404.blade.php in view.

// step 2 ) go to Handler.php and replace the render function to belwo function.
  public function render($request, Throwable $exception)
    {
        if ($exception instanceof AccessDeniedHttpException) {
            return response(view('errors.404'), 404);
        }
        return parent::render($request, $exception);
    }

Example 2: 404 json laravel

To do that, we need to add this logic to the app/Exceptions/Handler.php class:

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\ModelNotFoundException;

// ...

public function render($request, Exception $exception)
{
    if ($exception instanceof ModelNotFoundException && $request->wantsJson()) {
        return response()->json(['message' => 'Not Found!'], 404);
    }

    return parent::render($request, $exception);
}

Example 3: laravel login shows 404
