Routes define how URLs map to your code. Controllers group that logic.
  
  ## Define a route
  
  ```php
  Route::get('/posts', [PostController::class, 'index']);
  ```
  
  ## Create controller
  
  ```bash
  php artisan make:controller PostController
  ```
  
  ## Controller method
  
  ```php
  public function index() {
    $posts = Post::latest()->get();
    return view('posts.index', compact('posts'));
  }
  ```
  
  ## Flow
  
  ```mermaid
  flowchart LR
    A[URL] --> B[Router]
    B --> C[Controller]
    C --> D[View/JSON]
  ```
  
  In the next tutorial, we will build dynamic UI using Blade templates.

Connect URLs to controller methods and organize request logic cleanly.
