Understanding REST Controllers Laravel -

after studying online links, i've seen have single route

route::controller('categories', 'categoriescontroller');

and then, setting url's in forms of blade templated views, reach functions of controllers. getsignup() etc.

it's basic question. how these things work?

thanks alot, have nice day :d

if declare routes request http://yoursite.com/categories routed categoriescontroller's getindex() method , form posting http://yoursite.com/categories/data (say) routed postdata() method.

you can build more complex names using hyphens in routes. posting http://yoursite.com/categories/update-stuff route controller's postupdatestuff() method.

there's explanation of in docs. though use cases prefer use resource controllers explained afterwards.
