POST vs PATCH vs PUT
Hey guys, new here. I'm busy learning Laravel whilst developing an application. I'd like to just know about these new request methods. Coming from Vanilla PHP and Web Dev, I've only known GET & POST. What are the definitions of these and why when creating a controller with --resource does it auto-use PUT / PATCH for db update queries etc?
Many thanks!

That is RESTfull style of coding ... and now you only get and post request and put and patch is manually created with hiden input field ...
you can read about that in documentation
https://laravel.com/docs/5.1/controllers#restful-resource-controllers
or in this thread

In POST method you can send body params in form-data
In PUT method you have to send body params in x-www-form-urlencoded
Header Content-Type:application/x-www-form-urlencoded
According to this, you cannot send files or multipart data in the PUT method
