What are they?

• An HTTP request is a message sent by a client (such as a web browser) to a server to request a resource or perform an action.

Types of queries

GET

• They are queries that are executed in the URL:

http://alfred.com/hack?hack="123"

In this case, hack is the variable, and its value is 123

Also, this type of queries are used to render parts of the webpage. To get all data and show it to the user

Route::get("", function () {
	return "Hello world";
});

POST

• There are three of this type. Actually, they are the same thing, but there are specific differences about functionality and when we must use one

POST

It is the most common, it is used when you send information through a form

<form action="/send" method="POST">
	<input type="text" name="name">
	<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

Route::post("/send", function () {
	return "To create";
});

PUT Y PATCH

They are using to update records

PUT

• To update a whole record

Route::put("/update", function () {
	return "To update";
});

PATCH

• To update partially a record

Route::patch("/update-partial", function () {
	return "To update";
});

DELETE

• To delete a record

Route::post("/delete", function () {
	return "To delete"
});
