Routes
Laravel Routes are inside routes folder, there are 2 files web.php for all website routes and api.php for all API routes.
There are 4 types of route methods GET, POST, PUT, DELETE.
e.g. route will look like.
Route::get('/home', [App\Http\Controllers\HomeController::class, 'index'])->name('home');

Laravel Views files are inside resources/views folder
a sample view file looks like.
@extends('layouts.app')
@section('content')
<div class="container">
<div class="row justify-content-center">
<div class="col-md-8">
<div class="card">
<div class="card-header">{{ __('Dashboard') }}</div>
<div class="card-body">
@if (session('status'))
<div class="alert alert-success" role="alert">
