Basic Routes
Route::get('/posts', [PostController::class, 'index']);
Route::post('/posts', [PostController::class, 'store']);
Route::put('/posts/{post}', [PostController::class, 'update']);
Route::delete('/posts/{post}', [PostController::class, 'destroy']);Resource Route
Route::resource('posts', PostController::class);
Route::apiResource('posts', PostController::class);
// Generates: index, create, store, show, edit, update, destroyMiddleware & Groups
Route::middleware(['auth', 'verified'])->group(function () {
Route::get('/dashboard', DashboardController::class);
});
Route::prefix('api/v1')->group(function () {

});Route Model Binding
// Implicit binding
Route::get('/posts/{post}', function (Post $post) {
return $post;
});
// Custom key
Route::get('/posts/{post:slug}', function (Post $post) {
return $post;
