How is it architecturally correct in Laravel to design a method that is called both through the action of the controller and through ajax?

Question

Design patterns

Hello.
Prompt, please, on the following question:
There is a ready project in which there is an action:
[email protected]
Action marks news in a DB for certain needs.

public function makeRevision(){
        $ids = $request->input('ids');
        $news = News::whereIn('id', $ids)->get();

         ... некая логика и заполнение БД ...

        Session::flash('status', 'Complete');
        return back();
}

There is a post request path for this action: Route::post('/makerevision', '[email protected]')->name('makerevision'
) this action? (i.e. where can it be taken out?)
There is no service layer in the project.
For an ajax request, you need to return a json response, not a redirect back and setting the status to the session ..
Thanks in advance!

As an option, check in the controller for ajax request and return json

if ($request->ajax()) {
    ...
 }
