Laravel - Return HTML or JSON in the same Method

I’m starting with Laravel, seeing from Rails, where to return a JSON I just put . json in the url, the return processing is obviously in the Controller.

My question is how to do something like Laravel. I would like, instead of creating a method to return html and another one to json, to have only one for both and in the view I could determine what the return would be.

  public function lista(){
    $produtos = 'select na tabela';
    return view('produtos.listagem')->withProdutos($produtos);
  }

The above code returns htmlby default, you would choose the return type?

My solution to this would be to detect the header of the requisition.

If required XHTTPRequest, we return JSON. If not, we return HTML.

Think of this idea:

Route::get('usuarios/listar', function (Request $request)
{

     $usuarios = Usuario::all();


     if ($request->ajax()) {
         response()->json(compact('usuarios'));
     }

     return view('usuarios.listar', compact('usuarios'));
});

So if you go to the url, you’ll see the view. If you use a $.ajax, will return the JSON.

Updating:

There is a method which, in my view, is better than $request->ajax(). This method is called $request->wantsJson(). It basically identifies whether the request sent a header saying what response JSON is accepted.
