You could use \Response::json and no use statement is needed.
Or you could create a shared BaseController and then extend all other controllers from it ...
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Response;
use Illuminate\Routing\Controller;
use App\Http\Requests\FormTestValidation;
class BaseController extends Controller {
/* any other shared functions can go here */
}
and then for other controllers
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
class IndexController extends BaseController {
/* ... */
}
Hope that helps.
I am getting a "Class 'App\Http\Controllers\Response' not found" from this solution.
Any thoughts on that?
Namespaces and use statements are file-scoped. There's no way to have other files "inherit" a use.
One option would be something like this in your BaseController:
function prepareResponse($response) {
return Response::json($response);
}
Then in your other controller functions:
return $this->prepareResponse($responseData);
use Response at your BaseController and then use namespace above your controller.
put \ before your Response like :
return \Response::json($response);
It will work.
As was already stated, imports are file-scoped, there is no inheritance. Every file has its own imports/aliases.
