Controller is a Class that grouping some actions/methods in your application, and these actions/methods can be called via Route. Controller files located in app/controllers.

For example, you want to create some actions to manage user

And you can call these actions in your route file by:

Model

Models are PHP classes that are designed to simplify interact with your table in your database. Model files located in app/models directory. To make your model work, you must create at least one database connections on your app/configs/database.php file.

For example, you have users table on your database, so the User model file might look like this:

Module basically is a directory that contain their own controllers, models, and views files. Module used if you want to distribute tasks with your development team, crew A focused on module User, crew B focused on module Post, etc. And it can also simplify to migrate a part of your slimmy application to another slimmy application.

by default modules are located on app/modules.

Rendering Module View

Rendering module view is little bit different, because view in the module have it's own namespace. So, you should call these views in format @[ModuleName]/[viewpath/viewname.twig].

For example, if you want render form-edit-user.twig in User module.
