The only difference is that the resource controller creates a PHP file with already defined CRUD operations while a regular controller creates an empty file.

To create a regular controller with the name UserController:

php artisan make:controller UserController

To create a resource controller:

php artisan make:controller UserController --resource

Hope it was helpful. Use this for more resources https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/controllers.

Both are Controllers but as the name suggests resource controller is an additional resource of CRUD functions

There is mainly no difference..It a special type of controller. When you create a controller like this

php artisan make:controller YourNameController --resource

it auto create some function like index, create, store, show, edit, update, destroy. basically for crud. For details go to documentation https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/controllers#resource-controllers
