# What are Laravel resource controllers?
Most times the operations we carry out on a model in our application are `create`, `read`, `update`, and `delete`, as far as interacting with the database is concerned.

The simplest way to execute such an operation is by creating a **resource controller**, which appropriately routes all HTTP requests for CRUD operations to the controller.

# How to create a resource controller
To create a post resource controller, paste the code below in your route:
```
use App\Http\Controllers\PostController;

Route::resource('posts', PostController::class);
```
Then, run
`php artisan make:controller PostController --resource`, which will create a resource, `PostController`.

## Summary

Resource controllers provide a simple way to handle CRUD operations with less hassle.
For example, say you want to create a post with a resource controller. You first display the form before storing it. In the `create` method in the controller, you return the view, and your `URI` should be `/create`. Then, while trying to store the values of your form, you should send a `POST` request to `/store`.
