What is Put and patch in Laravel, and what role does it play in a real application?

What is Put and patch in Laravel, and what role does it play in a real application? In Laravel, PUT and PATCH should be understood as part of a larger application architecture rather than as an isolated API call. PUT commonly represents a full resource replacement while PATCH is commonly used for a partial update. A strong understanding includes its purpose, the layer where it belongs, the data or request flow it affects, and the situations where another mechanism may be more appropriate. Practical context: Laravel routing maps incoming HTTP methods and URLs to closures, controller actions or other application handlers. The specific focus here is PUT and PATCH: PUT commonly represents a full resource replacement while PATCH is commonly used for a partial update. This question is designed to test not only terminology, but also how the concept fits into Laravel's request, application, database, security, or deployment workflow.
