I've watched many NodeJS and express tutorials but the satisfaction I'm getting here, I didn't get before. It's more like I'm gaining confidence in learning the quality content. I first time watched your tutorial on free Code Camp and I decided to come over here.

a few years late but this was very very helpful, understood everything in this video

[MohammadBarghamadii]

Thank you so much, Dave, great tutorial

[edwilsondasilva]

Separating routes into multiple files is great thing to consider even for small app as nobody knows how complex it can get as you work on it,

About Thunder Client extension, it looks more like Postman inside VSCode, but at least you don't have to leave your editor for testing your API,
unfortunately the request data is distributed in multiple places and you need to find your way through dozens of tabs to add/edit your params 😵.

I liked the plain text way that REST Client extension is using to create requests, it keeps me aware of all the headers needed to make a successful request instead of just implementing them for me automatically,

Looking forward for your next video, I always appreciate your way of organizing your code,
Thanks Dave 👍

It is so explained on each concept. I am waiting your advance mern stack project

[TheLucidWay]

Holy cow, Thunder Client is so convienient!

Okay lets get it straight and clear these tutorials are gold.

for the static css and js, I think it would be more simple to make only the root serve it and change all the js and css urls by adding a "/" at the beginning.

"style/style.css" => "/style/style.css"
"js/index.js" => "/js/index.js"

Great tutorial!! This is awesome. I'm grateful, it helped me so much

I have a question: Why the object keys of the sent data must have " ". Can't they be without " " ? On React for example when I make a PUT request using the fetch() function, the body of the request does not need the " " for the data object keys. Thank you!

Hi, I'd like to know which other extensions you use when coding nodejs applications

[arunkb]

Im stuck on Multiple http methods per route and parameter values section.
my req.body is empty while calling post can anyone help me

[Alibeee]

Hi, Dave! I'm at 22:08 working with Thunder Client right now in VS. I selected "Send" for the local host and it's stuck on processing. Would you happen to know the reason for this? Thanks!

[motivational_shorts]

Can you provide any solution export import of express router as in es6? It'll be helpful

[sagarsunil]

am getting an issue, except the get method all other methods are not responding ..its not showing any content to the body

[gandalfgrey]

I came from a background of using python and tornado, what I did was add `app.use(‘/myBaseRoute’, router.getMyBaseRoutes()` and within that file I parse the request.path and use a switch case to pass the route to the appropriate handler, the default being throwing a “route not found” error. Seems a lot cleaner to me honestly

[agus-wesly]

when i send a post request on thunder client i just receive empty object as the response. but i already send the body same as in the video. how can i fix that?

[mayankpawar]
