## Default Controller

After installing LAP, you will find the default `BackendController` located in `app/Http/Controllers/Admin`. This controller will come in handy for tweaking things like your dashboard and settings.

You can see there are already 3 very commonly tweaked methods included in this controller. However, if you require additional modification, you can reference the `BackendController` located in the vendor folder too see which methods can be overridden.

Say you wanted to add some charts to the dashboard, you could do:

    public function dashboard()
    {
        $charts = Charts::get()

        return view('lap::backend.dashboard', compact('charts'));
    }

Now the `$charts` are usable in your dashboard view file. Fortunately, after installation, this view file can also be located in your `resources/views/vendor/lap/backend` folder.

The same type of tweaking can also be applied to the settings.
