The controller is responsible for handling the browser request. It CONTROLS the model and the view to generate a response.
When you access the list of all "Post" objects, the request gets sent to the "index" method of the "PostsController" class.
- Rails creates the source code for controller classes in the "app/controllers/" subdirectory.
- The "PostsController" class will be in "posts_controller.rb".
- The request is handled by the "index" method or action (controller methods that respond to requests are sometimes called "actions").
