CRUD stands for Create, Read, Update, Delete — the four fundamental operations in database management. Let's explore how to implement these in your framework!

📌 1. Create (POST)

Use the POST method to add new data.
Example: 

POST /api/items HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "name": "Example Item",
  "description": "This is a test"
}

📌 2. Read (GET)

Fetch data using GET.

  • Retrieve all items: GET /api/items
  • Get a specific item: GET /api/items/{id}

📌 3. Update (PUT/PATCH)

Modify existing data with PUT or PATCH.

  • Update full data: PUT /api/items/{id}
  • Partial updates: PATCH /api/items/{id}

📌 4. Delete (DELETE)

Remove data via DELETE.

  • Delete an item: DELETE /api/items/{id}
