Starting from a new Laravel 11 project, attempting to make a simple REST API Server, I'm trying to remove the default content being returned when calling routes and them (for example) returning an error (see attachment)
In this case I get the error because the Accept header is not set; If it were set I'd be getting the correct response from the API I'm calling. Is there a way to remove these default responses and/or change the default response to be application/json?

I've found it's possible with middleware, but it seems like a "half" solution:
// app/Http/Middleware/JSONResponse.php
<?php
namespace App\Http\Middleware;
use Closure;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class JSONResponse
{
public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next)
{
$request->headers->set('Accept', 'application/json');
$request->headers->set('Content-Type', 'application/json');
return $next($request);
}
}
// bootstrap/app.php
...
->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) {
//region App
$middleware->append(JSONResponse::class);
//endregion
...
Any suggestions to make this a bit more clean would be much appreciated 😄
