laravel 5 restful methods in controller are missing

Following Laravel 5.2 documentation I execute below line in command prompt of windows 7 to create the controller

php artisan make:controller UserController

UserController.php is created successfully.
However unlike the description in documentation, the UserController.php don't contains restful methods.

The file looks like this

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

use App\Http\Requests;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;

class UserController extends Controller
{
    //
}

How can I create the controller and contains RESTFUL methods by default?

In Laravel 5.1 and below, by default the make:controller command used to generate the Controller with all required methods such as 'index, create, store, show, edit, update, destroy'. And for 5.1 and below, to have the blank controller file without any methods, we used to use '--plain' parameter as 

php artisan make:controller --plain NAME_OF_CONTROLLER

But with Laravel 5.2, as explained by @Zeeshan, by default the artisan command will create the bare controller file without any RESTful methods.

As Laravel 5.2 has many changes, it is better to use the 'artisan help' command as below

php artisan help make:controller

With this, we will realize the introduction of --resource

Resource controllers make it painless to build RESTful controllers around resources. For example, you may wish to create a controller that handles HTTP requests regarding "photos" stored by your application. Using the make:controller Artisan command, we can quickly create such a controller:

php artisan make:controller PhotoController --resource
