Definition

Explain Like I'm New

No matter how complex an application is, it always boils down to CRUD. Facebook? Create a post. Read your feed. Update your profile. Delete a photo. In Node APIs, these directly map to HTTP methods: POST (Create), GET (Read), PUT/PATCH (Update), DELETE (Delete).

Real World Example

Writing the four core Mongoose queries: `Model.create()`, `Model.find()`, `Model.findByIdAndUpdate()`, and `Model.findByIdAndDelete()`.
