Quick way to Request Json from Angular and return from Laravel

I simply want to make sure to return json from my app more easily even on errors. So in Angular I set my app.js as such

(function(){
    'use strict';

    angular.module('app', []);
    
    angular.module('app').run(
        function($http)
        {
            $http.defaults.headers.common.Accept = 'application/json';
        }
    );
})();

Then in my Laravel routes I can

	public function index(Request $request)
	{
		$blogs = Blog::orderBy('created_at', 'desc')->paginate(5);
		$customPagination = new CustomPagination($blogs);

		if($request->header('Accept') == 'application/json')
			return $blogs;

		return view('blogs.index', compact('blogs', 'customPagination'));
	}

Then I can share the same route with Angular that I do with my Blade templates as needed.
