The Seven Restful Controller Actions in Laravel

5 May 2024

Here are the 7 different RESTful actions:

1. Create
2. Delete
3. Edit
4. Index
5. Show
6. Store
7. Update

And here is how you could implement them in a Laravel controller:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Models\Post;

class PostController extends Controller
{
	public function create()
	{
		// Shows a view to create a new resource
	}

	public function destroy()
	{
		// Delete the resource
	}

	public function edit()
	{
		// Show a view to edit an existing resource
	}

	public function index()
	{
		// Render a list of a resource.
		$posts = Post::latest()->get();

		return view('post.index')
			->with('posts', $posts);
	}

	public function show($id)
	{
		// Show a single resource.
		$post = Post::findOrFail($id);

		return view('post.show')
			->with('post', $post);
	}

	public function store()
	{
		// Persist the new resource
	}

	public function update()
	{
		// Persist the edited resource
	}	
}
