Answer 1

You might be confused with the response().. That Response()... is what should be RETURNED in the end of the controller. That example would be

    $input = Request::all();
    $user = Auth::user();
    $user->first_name = $input->first_name;
    $user->save();
    return response()->json(['user_saved' => $user ]);

EDIT

// HomeController.php
public function editUser(Request $request){
  $user = User::find(Auth::user()->id)->first();
  $user->first_name = $request->first_name;
  if($user->save()){
    return response()->json(["response" =>true,"user"=>$user]);
  }
  return response()->json(["response" =>false,"user"=>$user]);
}

// routes/web.php
 Route::post('/user/update',[
  'uses'=>'HomeController@editUser',
  'as'=>'editUser'
 ]);

// javascript 
$('#updateProfile').on('click', function() {
$.ajax({
    method: 'POST',
    url: '{{route("editUser")}}',
    data: { first_name: $('#firstname').val(), _token: token }
})

(NOTE if you're using .js files, you might want to on your **.blade.php including the .js file, define the variable url there like you seem to be doing with token For example in blade) // index.blade.php

<script>
  var token = "{{Session::token()}}";
  var urlEditUser = '{{route("editUser")}}';
</script>
