Creating and updating the controller function

1. Open your Terminal window and type the following command:

php artisan make:controller API/BuilderController --api

Note that the --api flag creates four methods for us inside the BuilderController class:

• index() = GET
• store() = POST
• show($id) = GET
• update(Request $request, $id) = PUT
• destroy($id) = POST

2. Open project/app/Http/Controllers/API/BuilderController.php and add the App\Builder code right after the Controller import.

3. Now, let's add the content for each method. Open project/app/Http/Controllers/API/BuilderController.php and replace the content with the following code:

<?phpnamespace App\Http\Controllers\API;use Illuminate\Http\Request;use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;use App\Builder; ...
