The standard success code and default option. 201: Created. Object created. Useful for the store actions. 204: No Content. When the action was executed successfully, there is no content to return. 206: Partial Content. Useful when you have to return a paginated list of resources. 400: Bad Request. The standard option for requests that cannot pass validation. 401: Unauthorized. The user needs to be authenticated. 403: Forbidden. The user is authenticated but does not have permission to perform an action. 404: Not Found. Laravel will return automatically when the resource is not found. 500: Internal Server Error.

Composer 2 is great. But it is not compatible with PHP versions lesser than 7.2. So if you're maintaining legacy projects that require older PHP versions, like PHP 7.1, you run into errors like this: PHP Fatal error: Composer detected issues in your platform: Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version ">= 7.2.0". You are running 7.1.33. If you want to be able to run Composer 1 and 2 next to each other, you can install them both. Install Composer globally, following the instructions from https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#installation-linux-unix-macos .  This will install the latest Composer 2 version in /usr/local/bin . (on Mac you can simply run brew install composer ) Move composer to composer2: mv /usr/local/bin/composer /usr/local/bin/composer2 CD to the /usr/local/bin/ folder: /usr/local/bin/ Download the latest V1 version from https://getcomposer.org/download/1.10.17/composer.phar : wget https://getcomposer.org/download/1.10.17/composer.phar Make the...
