I don't comment often on !yt, but this quick tutorial is great! The length of the video is perfect and the instructor speaks in relatable terms and is able to explain almost all of issues one might run into. Great video and content...

I was looking to create a simple site so when a employer wanted to leave me a message, I'd receive it, from my resume, you know, with a text area for them to leave me a message. This has helped me understand how to create that.

Excellent tutorial. I had to use Postman instead of Insomnia because my computer is old OS 10.11 (El Capitan).

This was great, I think if you ever make an updated version be sure to include nodemon, it's doesn't take long to include. Stopping and Starting the server manually all the time.... yuck.

If you're watching this after May 2023, FS has been removed. To solve the initial run replace the first line with " const fs = require('fs').promises;"

Because the express.json() middleware is already used, res.status(201).json(...); can also be written as res.status(201).send(...); It will work the same.

Can i use that for my small ecommerce project? Login system, user records etc?

[ayencoscolfield]

Good contents am knew in backend REST ApI stuff but am liking this, but by the way does this involve building database service objects with your application Dockerfile as build context using docker compose

[jonice]

how about if i want to block others from using my api?

[FlygOnLiTe]

Do the endpoints persist if I want to keep any processes running between API requests or do they die like serverless functions?

Hey Dom - isn’t 404 error should be in try as we are still sending the right request of 404 and catch should have 500 status code error??
