I just made an JSON API in Laravel. How can I disable providers like Illuminate\View\ViewServiceProvider?

[ProteanCode]

I am sure I do not need it, but the IgnitionServiceProvider forces me to use it

That provider makes some error pages looks more elegant, but hey, its an API...

You can create middleware that will force JSON response.
php artisan make:middleware ForceJsonMiddleware

<?php

namespace App\Http\Middleware;

use Closure;
use Illuminate\Http\JsonResponse;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Routing\ResponseFactory;

class ForceJsonMiddleware
{
    protected $responseFactory;

    public function __construct(ResponseFactory $responseFactory)
    {
        $this->responseFactory = $responseFactory;
    }

    /**
     * Handle an incoming request.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @param  \Closure(\Illuminate\Http\Request): (\Illuminate\Http\Response|\Illuminate\Http\RedirectResponse)  $next
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response|\Illuminate\Http\RedirectResponse
     */
    public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next)
    {
        $request->headers->set('Accept', 'application/json');

        $response = $next($request);
        //Convert not json responses to json
        if(!$response instanceof JsonResponse) {
            $response = $this->responseFactory->json(
                $response->content(),
                $response->status(),
                $response->headers->all(),
            );
        }

        return $response;
    }
}

Then in app/Http/Kernel.php

    protected $middlewareGroups = [
        'web' => [
            \App\Http\Middleware\EncryptCookies::class,
            \Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\AddQueuedCookiesToResponse::class,
            \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class,
            // \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\AuthenticateSession::class,
            \Illuminate\View\Middleware\ShareErrorsFromSession::class,
            \App\Http\Middleware\VerifyCsrfToken::class,
            \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\SubstituteBindings::class,
            
            //YOU CAN INCLUDE IT HERE TO FORCE JSON RESPONSE FOR WEB ROUTES
            \App\Http\Middleware\ForceJsonMiddleware::class,
        ],

        'api' => [
            // \Laravel\Sanctum\Http\Middleware\EnsureFrontendRequestsAreStateful::class,
            'throttle:api',
            \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\SubstituteBindings::class,
           \App\Http\Middleware\ForceJsonMiddleware::class,
        ],
    ];
