Introduction
In this chapter, we will cover routing. One thing, in my opinion, that makes a great framework is easy-to-use routing. When I first started in Laravel, coming from Drupal and then Rails, I was really glad to see how easy it is to try ideas in a route and quickly see results.
We will cover testing your routes, API based routes, and naming. By the time you are done I think you will see just how easy routing is in Laravel.
