What is the purpose of the resources method in the code snippet below?

Consider:

resources :posts do
  member do
      get ‘messages’
  end
  collection do
      post ‘bulk_upload'
  end
end

Defining routes with the resources method automatically generates routes for the seven standard RESTful actions:

• GET /messages
• POST /messages
• GET /messages/new
• GET /messages/:id/edit
• GET /messages/:id
• PATCH/PUT /messages/:id
• DELETE /messages/:id
