Why is laravel 5.8.35 showing me this javascript - php

Question

I am trying to do ajax with laravel. I am using jquery for ajax and making a simple call to a php function when user types in a name (3 letters for first call). I know my php function because I have var dumped the result in php and I can see it returns exactly what is expected however when i see that suuccess response on the ajax side it has load of javascript that i have no idea where it is coming from + the response I was expecting.
HTML
<input name="search" id="search" class="input-group" onkeydown="search_data(this.value)"/>
AJAX JQUERY
<script>
function search_data(search_value) {
if (search_value.length >= 3) {
console.log(search_value);
$.ajax({
headers: {
'X-CSRF-TOKEN': $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content')
},
url: '/searching',
data: {id: search_value},
contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
method: 'POST',
success: function (data) {
alert(data);
console.log(data);
}
});
}
}
</script>
ROUTE
Route::post('/searching','HomeController#getResult')->name('searchResult');
PHP FUNCTION
public function getResult()
{
$search = \request('id');
$date = now()->toDateString();
$result = DB::select(DB::raw("SELECT *
FROM io_badar.address_books
join io_badar.events
ON io_badar.address_books.id = io_badar.events.address_book_id
where ((address_books.firstname LIKE '%$search%') and (events.meeting_date = '$date'));"));
$test = json_encode($result);
return $test;
}
RESPONSE THAT I SEE IN CONSOLE IS BELOW

Answer 1

OK, I have fixed my issue. There wasnt any problem with my code as I learnt it was my env file. I had APP_DEBUG=true which was showing all this javascript and now it works perfectly with APP_DEBUG=false

Answer 2

refer following link https://laravel.com/docs/5.8/responses#json-responses
use laravel standard methods
return response()->json($result);
