Error The Response content must be a string or object implementing toString boolean given

Question

As soon as I move my Laravel App from MySQL to pSQL. I kept getting this error.

The Response content must be a string or object implementing __toString(), "boolean" given.

I have an API that suppose to return my promotion

public function id($id){
    $promotion = Promotion::find($id);
    dd($promotion); //I got something here
    return $promotion;
}

It used to return my promotion, now it return an error.

Hello @kartik,

Your response must return some sort of Response object. You can't just return an object.

So change it to something like:

return Response::json($promotion);

or my favorite using the helper function:

return response()->json($promotion);

Hope ut helps!!

Thank You!!
