Of course, you may be thinking about lot of things that we can do to upgrade our application's CRUD. We will see some that are quite useful, for example, pagination—something that is needed in almost every project. Also, we are going to see how to order our records.
Paginating our results is a good way of making life easier for our visitors, as they won't need to search through thousands of records.
