You can handle it in function render of app/Exceptions/Handler.php

Ex:

public function render($request, Exception $e)
{
   if ($e instanceof \Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\MethodNotAllowedHttpException) {
      return response()->json(['message' => $e->getMessage(), 405);
   }
   return parent::render($request, $e);
}

The docs for it: https://laravel.com/docs/5.8/errors#render-method

I think Laravel has the response as JSON for it by default. You also can add to headers of request.

Content-Type: application/json
Accept: application/json

You can use your custom message. `return response()->json(['message' => 'Method is not allowed!', 405);` – Sang Nguyen Nov 14 '19 at 07:03
