'How to create a RESTful Resource Controller in Laravel 5.2, using Artisan command (PHP)

I'm working with Laravel 5 and I would like to know how to generate a RESTful Resource Controller with all predefined methods using the Artisan command (PHP).

When I run php artisan make:controller LessonsController, it creates a controller, with no methods as shown below:

<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\Requests;

class LessonsController extends Controller
{


}

What I want to create is a complete Laravel RESTful Resource Controller with all predefined methods as in: index(), create(), store(), show(), edit(), update() and destroy().

How can I achieve this?

For Laravel 5.2

php artisan make:controller NameofController --resource
// It will create the controller with all methods.

If Laravel < 5.2

php artisan make:controller NameofController
// It will create the controller with all methods.

and 

php artisan make:controller NameofController --plain
// It will create the controller without any method.

For default controller which have all methods you want,
php artisan make:controller LessonsController

If you want plain controller with no method,
php artisan make:controller --plain LessonsController

Solution 3:[3]

php artisan make:controller "NameOfController" - will create controller with all methods

php artisan make:controller "NameOfController" --plain This will create controller with no methods.

php artisan make:controller ControllerName --resource

Solution 5:[5]

so you are using Laravel 5.2, so to have the controller with RESTful methods issue the command

php artisan make:controller --resource NAME_OF_CONTROLLER

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, 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

Please Refer the Laravel Documentation Laravel HTTP Controllers - Artisan Command

Suggestion: As this is the change from 5.2, it would be good to edit the Post Title too.
