I'm fetching todos, if database has todos I return 200 status code, but if database has no todo then which status code should I return?

if(!todos->isEmpty()){
    return response()->json(['todos' => $todos], 200);
}
else{
    return response()->json(['todos' => 'No Todos'], 404);
    // OR
    //return response()->json(['todos' => NULL], 404);
    // OR
    //return response()->json(['todos' => NULL], 200);
    // OR
    //return response()->json(['todos' => array()], 404);
    // OR
    //return response()->json(['todos' => array()], 200);
}

  • Empty array, 200 OK. The request works just fine and the endpoint exists. Also I think this means you can get rid of the `if` entirely. – jonrsharpe Apr 23 '17 at 07:41
