Response.data returning json data as string Laravel 8/Axios

In my laravel controller i'm returning a response as below

return response()->json([
                'name' => 'Abigail',
                'state' => 'CA',
            ], 400);

When i make a call from a browser using Axios the data I get back is showing the json object as a string

enter image description here

doing json.parse(response.data) also returns Unhandled Rejection (SyntaxError): Unexpected token in JSON at position 0

I'm using Laravel 8

the content-type is application/json and so is accept. Is there something that needs to be included?

For the Axios call i have a class called User which contains this static login method enter image description here

The login method is then called inside another file enter image description here

axios laravel php

use

JSON.parse(data);

to convert it to JavaScript object.

Also I think your return statement inside the controller adds some spaces at the beginning of the json string. Try below code to make sure you remove any possible space additions:

return response()->json(['name' => 'Abigail','state' => 'CA'], 400);
