GET Method: The GET method is used to retrieve data from the server. This method is typically used to retrieve information from a database and display it on a web page. In Laravel, you can use the Route::get()
method to handle GET requests. For example:
Route::get('/products', 'ProductController@index');
This will handle GET requests to the ‘/products’ URL and call the ‘index’ method on the ‘ProductController’ class to handle the request.
POST Method: The POST method is used to submit data to the server. This method is typically used to insert data into a database. In Laravel, you can use the Route::post()
method to handle POST requests. For example:
Route::post('/products', 'ProductController@store');
This will handle POST requests to the ‘/products’ URL and call the ‘store’ method on the ‘ProductController’ class to handle the request.
In both methods, the first argument is the URL, and the second argument is the controller method that will handle the request.
Please note that it’s also important to handle CSRF protection in Laravel for the post method, Laravel provides a method @csrf
that can be used in the form, or you can use the @csrf
middleware on the routes.
