Creating controllers

Now it is time to use the artisan to generate our controller, let's see how we can do that:

php artisan make:controller BandController

After the command, you should see a message in green, stating: Controller created successfully.

Now, inside app/Http/Controllers, you will see BandController.php, with the following content:

<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\Requests;
class BandController extends Controller
{
    //
}

As a good practice, always create your controller with the suffix <Somename>Controller.
