You should definitely be using DTOs. Here is why #dto #softwareengineering

In this video I am delving into an essential best practice for web developers: the use of Data Transfer Objects, or DTOs, especially when working with REST APIs or web applications. 🛠️

Have you ever wondered how to securely transmit data from your service layer to the client without exposing sensitive information? Or how to ensure that changes in your database structure won't immediately require adjustments on the client-side? DTOs could be your answer!

Here I’ll unpack what a DTO is and why it’s your safeguard for transporting data across different layers of your application. I'll illustrate with real-world examples, such as how to omit sensitive fields like passwords when returning user details. Plus, I’ll demonstrate how using DTOs can save you from having to make immediate and disruptive changes in your API or your clients' code when your internal structure changes.

DTOs act like the messengers of your application, ensuring that only the data that needs to be seen gets seen, and nothing more. Learn how to implement them to make your codebase more robust and maintainable.🔒

Then why send them the sensitive data in the first place?
