When making a route you can set a null-able parameter, this will save you in terms of routing like doing an if, and if the parameter is there or not you can then perform your actions based on those parameter rules.

You would write is like so.

Not null-able does not have a Question Mark

Route::get('home'/{action}, function($action){
     return $action;
});

Null-able does have a Question Mark

Route::get('home'/{action?}, function($action){
     return $action;
});

To create your model and controller together you can do this.
Method 1 : Does not set controllers as resource items.
php artisan make:controller CustomersController –model=Customer

Method 2 : Sets controllers as resource items.
php artisan make:model Todo -mcr

————————————–
-m, –migration Create a new migration file for the model.
-c, –controller Create a new controller for the model.
-r, –resource Indicates if the generated controller should be a resource controller

————————————–
For reference sake this is the method where you manually create each method for Model and Controller

The –resource sets up by default the controllers crud functionalities

php artisan make:model Customer
php artisan make:controller CustomersController --resource

The below is an example from Laravel.

php artisan make:model Flight --factory
php artisan make:model Flight -f

php artisan make:model Flight --seed
php artisan make:model Flight -s

php artisan make:model Flight --controller
php artisan make:model Flight -c

php artisan make:model Flight -mfsc

Inside your Controller in this case it’s the Movies Controller.
The action Result below is Index so on other words the Home of the
Movies Controller.
In this action there’s two IF statements.
If you load this controller-> Index it will return this
pageIndex=1$sortBy=Name

        public ActionResult Index(int? pageIndex, string sortBy){
            if(!pageIndex.HasValue)
                pageIndex = 1;

            if (String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(sortBy))
                sortBy = "Name";

            return Content(String.Format("pageIndex={0}$sortBy={1}", pageIndex, sortBy));
        }

namespace Vidly.Controllers
{
    public class MoviesController : Controller
    {
        public ActionResult Random()
        {
            Movie movie = new Movie() { Name = "Shrek!" };

        // THE RETURN METHODS BELOW
            // return View(movie);
            // return Content("Hello World!");
            // return HttpNotFound();
            // return new EmptyResult();
            // return RedirectToAction("Index","Home", new { page = 1, sortby = "name"}); 
        }
    }
}
