Tie routes to the controller. If required can do a resource in the routes file to get a RESTful pattern

Cross-site request forgery (CSRF)
Laravel automatically generates a CSRF "token" for each active user session managed by the application. This token is used to verify that the authenticated user is the one actually making the requests to the application.

<form method="POST" action="/profile">
    @csrf
    ...
</form>
