How To Build a Simple User Profile Admin App (Mongo, Express, Node)

— Follow Me —
— Thanks! —

So in this tutorial, you'll learn how to build a user profile admin app using MongoDB, Express and Node. This will simply be a login system that users can use to register new accounts and then login (with a hashed password in the database) and then have the ability to save some additional information to the user's account.

This 'account profile' will be stored securely in the database but then the information will be available publicly to any users that browse to the user's profile however only the owner of the profile, the user, will be able to edit it.

Will also add a few nice features like being able to logout and show the most recently registered users on the home page of the app so that guest users can browse the profiles of the most recent users.

where do I begin, this was an amazing tutorial! I'm being subjective, but I think that it's perfectly paced for someone at an intermediate level. Super direct, clear explanations for a process without all the excess jargon :)

Hello JDS, I have a bit of a generic question. I have made a website which has a news section which needs to be updated weekly by a client. Would I create an Admin Login with an Admin page which allows them to create 'news cards' by doing something similar to what you have done in this video. Or would I have to somehow attach my website to a CMS or re-create my website through a CMS, I'm really not sure what is generally done in this case? Thanks.

I'm getting the followng error in the terminal "(node:43084) DeprecationWarning: current Server Discovery and Monitoring engine is deprecated, and will be removed in a future version. To use the new Server Discover and Monitoring engine, pass option { useUnifiedTopology: true } to the MongoClient constructor." Any ideas on how to fix it? - Thanks

Hello everybody! Imagine that we have a table users:[{_id:"someid", name:"someUserName", age:21, countPosts: 15}]. How can I write query like this "SELECT _id AS userId, name AS userName FROM users" using mongodb driver? Very interesting something about "AS" construction. I need to get the object like this: user:{userId:"someid", userName:"someUserName"}. Thanks a lot for answers!
