This file should be saved as app/controllers/EventController.php.
We’ve deleted a bunch of actions and added some simple logic in others. Our controller will list
(index) events, show them individually, create (store) them, update them and delete (destroy) them.
.
We need to return a JSON response differently, for the destroy() action, as boolean return values
do not automatically map to JSON responses in the same way as collections and models do.
