# CRUD Operations

![](/files/rl5X13mUvnTsbKRML92w)

### Best practices

* Use plural: `posts` not `post`
* Updating `PUT` or `PATCH` is user preference
* `PUT` operations send all the data over again and patch it in the database
* `PATCH` operations send only the data that has to be adjusted and the backend should know how to do this
