What is MVC (Model-View-Controller) architecture?
Laravel follows MVC (Model-View-Controller) architecture.
This is an architecture which logically divides an application into three portions as,
- Model
- View
- Controller
- View
View show the User Interface(UI) Components of the application to the user. The UI includes the visualization of the frontend with components like tables, diagrams, drop downs, check boxes, and text boxes.
- Model
Model has all the data and corresponding logic.
- Controller
Controller is responsible for the activities which are done at the front end. Entering data (input data through keyboard), navigating to the other page, scrolling the page, updating, and deleting information.
This architecture is popular in designing mobile applications and web applications.
