A route is a way for Codeigniter to associate a URL with an action.
Codeigniter routes are defined in the routes.php file and can be configured to respond to any URL pattern.
The following are some of the most common route types:
- A GET request can be handled by a route that returns data, such as a list of articles or search results.
- A POST request can be handled by a route that saves data, such as when adding an article to the database.
- A PUT request can be handled by a route that updates data, such as updating an article's title and content.
