If your Laravel app is “full stack” and rendered with Blade views, but you have a few controller actions called only by Javascript, should those controllers go in the api route group or should they stay in the web route group?

In a previous post, I discussed some thoughts around choosing the right HTTP status code. In today’s post, I’ll tackle a different scenario, and my reasoning behind the particular status code I ended up using.

Do you ever get frustrated when you call an API and it sends back an inappropriate HTTP status code? I never want my APIs to be a source of frustation, so I’ll share a recent debate I had with myself as to which status code was the best.
