Almost two years later and your videos are still teaching people to code. The refactoring was super cool, because I have never understood the logic behind it and you explained it extremely well. Congrats man and thank you for making such an awesome video, and taking the time to explain to us newbies!

The expert tip on the pool creation in stead of making a new connection every time to the mysql database solved my app crash on heroku... thanks a lot for your useful videos!

[AjaySingh-xdnz]

Thanks so much! That's exactly what I was looking for and struggling to find. On the spot!

[Sam-lkci]

Another cool video Brian, I watched you refactor and then did it myself. I went a bit deeper and moved mysql connection function to its own file. Again, thanks for the video.

Another fantastic video. Thank you so much Brian. If you get a chance, a tutorial with Firebase - Firestore with NodeJS would be epic. Salud!!

For everyone who asked how to register multiple routes, here some code for you to execute in app.js:
const fs = require('fs')
=> {

})
And as you will have to do sql queries in separate files in folder /routes, that doesn't contain variable mysql.createConnection, you may save it in global variable called "process", so your code block for connection to mysql will look like:
process.sql = mysql.createConnection({
host: 'xxx.xxx.gear.host',
user: 'somedbmysqluser',
password: 'mysqlpassword,
database: 'somedbmysql'
})
Hope it helps you! :)
P.S.
The most amazing tutorials, thanks man!

It keeps getting better! Looking forward to the next video :D

Very awesome, I would like if you make protected routes so unauthenticated users cannot use the app routes

Great introduce into nodejs API. Thanks a lot!

[ehorlyck]

Nice video! Looking forward to Heroku. 🤓

What if I want to split my routes into multiple files?


I was thinking of importing my router from routes/index.js and then import all the route files in index.js

Could you make a video explaining in details how nodejs is different from other languages for example the difference between sync and async operations and functions, and when callback functions should be used and when its ok not to use them?

I like the branching out of stuff outside of IOS and android
