I want to simply return some JSON data from a controller, therefore I thought to use api route.
MyController.php:
public function data()
{
//return json string
}
That controller is supposed to be used by both api and web routes, depending on my needs.
api.php:
Route::get('data', 'MyController@data');
When I visit the path: /api/data
it redirects me to /home
.
However, when I change my route to the following it works:
Route::get('data', function() {
//return json string
});
I am not sure if it is related to authentication. I am not binding any middleware to my route as you can see.
What seems to be the problem here?

If there's a middleware defined in your controller, do this
$this->middleware('auth', ['except' => ['yourMethodName']]);
