     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function index()
    {
        /*
            We can ignore to write this query.
            $category = Category::where("name", "Mobile2")->first(); 
  
            if(is_null($category)){
                $category = Category::where("name", "Laptop")->first();             
            }
