<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use App\Http\Controllers\PostController;

/*

|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!

*/
Route::get('/', [PostController::class, 'index']);
Route::delete('/post/{id}', [PostController::class, 'destroy'])->name("post.destroy");

Step 4 - Create Model & Migration

Create Model

To generate migration file at the same time generate the model, you may use the --migration or -m option

php artisan make:model Post -m

Open file app -> models -> post.php

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Post extends Model
{
    use HasFactory;

    protected $fillable = [
        'title', 'slug', 'body'
    ];
}

Update Migration

Open file database -> migrations -> 2022_06_11_033722_create_posts_table.php

<?php

use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

return new class extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('posts', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->id();
            $table->string('title');
            $table->string('slug');
            $table->text('body');
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }

    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        Schema::dropIfExists('posts');
    }
};

    return view("index");
  }
  /**
  * Remove the specified resource from storage.
  *
  * @param  $id
  * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
