Laravel is a MVC Framework?
MVC (Model-View-Controller) pattern is very popular and many developers are using it for their application today. Laravel also loves the MVC. You can find folders called models-views-controllers inside Laravel. If you don’t know about MVC, Laravel will help you to master it easily by just developing application with it.
So what is MVC? Basically, it’s a architecture pattern that enforces seperation between models (information), controller (user’s interaction) and view (models’ display). Simply put, it helps to seperate your applications to many small parts in an organized structure. The main benefits of using MVC pattern is that, it helps you to change, extend and maitain your applications easily.
