I just completed this video, I can say confidently that it's an outstanding video, it has skyrocketed my knowledge in node, and my ability to create REST API, structure my directories correctly, and lots more. Thank you so much Antonio🙏
This is an outstanding video. Most of my work has been with Nestjs and postgres, but this gave me a clear perspective on a different approach to handle the same REST endpoints. earned yourself a loyal sub!
Glad it was helpful!

Thank you for watching the tutorial!
@@codewithantonio hello Antonio! BIG THANKS for thios video, but i have a question. why are you using http here, when u can just put app.listen and server is going to work? im not blaming, jsut cant get it
Great video. It's just clean, easy to understand and straightforward. Thanks and keep it up 👍
Thank you a lot, glad it helped you!
Hi Antonio. I found your channel recently and completed coding the REST API. I learnt alot and amused with the way you explain & code all the stuff. I hadn't found a channel like yours before. However It's all super clean❤ You deserve more followers than you have rn. Keep up the great work🤍🥂 Lots of love from Sri Lanka🇱🇰
Pretty interesting stuff. I was looking for Graph QL but landed on this video and couldn't quit) A great video for baking a boilerplate for future projects. Thanks.

You're welcome 😊
Hello Antonio, really nice video. i loved
Glad you enjoyed it
omg I learned a lot from this video, thanks a lot!
Glad it was helpful!
amazing work really helped me a lot. Thank you
Glad to hear that!
Great video! i was struggling with back-end and this really cleared my mind. What would you recommend when it comes to testing? A video focused on TDD with typescript would be great :)
Happy you liked the video! I will perhaps make a more in-depth tutorial about testing in the future
@@codewithantonio
Anticipating this @@codewithantonio
Hey Antonio, a video on TDD will be highly appreciated🙏❤
great content with easy explanation.
Glad you think so!
Excellent Tutorial
Glad you liked it
Thanks very much ❤❤❤
thank you for sharing!
My pleasure!
Thank you, very useful using ts
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent explanation!
Thank you!
@@codewithantonio Oh! can you please tell me what VS Code theme you use? I just loved it....
@@sarfrazshah5158 Monokai Pro!
@@codewithantonio Thank you Sir!
Great great job! 😊
So helpful Antonio, you're so great.
but remember that now body parser is deprecated
This really was a great tutorial. 😀🙏🏼
The front-end counterpart tutorial to this (React, Next, or HTML/JS) should be short and quick, and would be extremely useful. Thanks!
Amazing wait for next video
Thank you a lot! New video is coming soon!
Great Video Antonio. One quick thing for others, you don't need body parser as separate package with latest express (>v4), express inbuilts it
Thanks for the info!
Great stuff! Many thx
Glad you like it!
good stuff i like the fact that you used typescript in the backend , the only thing that i maybe not fan of is the naming for the files too many index.ts and file structure im kinda lost , maybe a sperated files models/controllers/routes would be nice. since the more complexity we add to a certain project, the more files we have, it would be chaos. it maybe comes back to personal preference idk. overall good job ❤🔥❤🔥
thank u so much
Happy to help
Your content is good, keep create more content about nodejs with TS but in the real life, it will be great
Thank you!
For the next videos, Can you please Add mongodb all relationships such as one to one, one to many and many to many. It's a topic in which I have lot interest. Thanks
Thank you so much for the suggestion! I will make sure to put it on my list
MongoDb is no sql database so basically there’s no relation between collections
@@RebaiMoez There can be relations between collections in document DBs. While it is advisable to denormalize, there are certainly scenarios where you would query a collection by FK.
@@RebaiMoezactually it is possible to create relationships.

You saved my life. Thanks
Happy I helped!
Wow this tutorial really saves me cause I have a interview about it. If you have time, could you please do a MEAN/MERN based on this tutorial?
very nice video, thanks
Glad you liked it!
Good video, I would recommend to use the command [ npx tsc --init ] instead of creating the tsconfig.js from scratch.
Mate this is awesome
Thank you so much!
Great video, thanks a lot
Thank you!
This is great! In the future can you also make a video using MongoDB with GraphQL?
Great Video!
Thank you!
thanks!
Good tutorial but it might be more helpful to also mention what certain parts of the code are doing and why they're there. At one point, a line is added that is "extremely important" or else the code will not work. It would be nice to get some explanation about why that is exactly.
I full agree, this was my first video and I didn't really know what I was doing, thank you for the feedback!
i also felt same.
Would really want to see a guide to building a REST API with TypeScript + MYSQL(Larvel) + Authentication
Great work, thank you @codewithantonio 🤗
Nice tutorial for this in typescript, for unknown reason the post is deleted, so i write again, haven't go throught it but just notice you still use bodyparser, since 4.0 express have already integrated it, so you don't need anymore and you can replace the middleware with express.json() :)
Hi, Antonio! thx for a nice tutor!
As a cpp backend dev (no experience in web) I'm wondering, why not use OpenApi notation for API declaration and sever creation?
Awesome man, new follower, and if you create a paid course, I'm in for buying it 🤘🏽
Very happy you like my tutorial! :)
excellent video I need videos for socials login🥰🥰
Thank you! If you are interested in NextJS, I have a couple of tutorials which do social login there
Hi! Thanks for this tutorial, very well explained! I have a question regarding APIs with NextJS. I have a project with NextJs 13 and all the api endpoints are done. I’m using next-auth to authenticate my users. Now I want to develop a mobile app with react native, I would like to know if I can use my next js api endpoints to fetch my data? How can I authenticate my users from the mobile app? I don't know if I should develop a new backend with apis and authentication etc...
And just like that I completed the tutorial successfully. Thanks for the video
Glad it helped
i watch your videos they well put together with advanced development practice but can you do a more in depth explanation tutorial for some us are not following at some instance
Great video. Why you merge two objects and using identity key in isAuthenticated method in middleware? Thanks in advance.
create user returns 200. GOOD job!
thank you
You're welcome
thanks good job😃
Glad you like it!
@@codewithantonio hi i'm wondering why when i change the name ANTONIO with another name it gives me Bad Request
I changed it in all the places where it has occurred
Amazing video. Could you show us how to deploy it properly? Like on Netlify. Also, are u planning a React course in the near future? Thnaks
you cannot deploy server side applications like this API to netlify, unless you deploy it as serverless function. although you can easily deploy it to render. but render doesn't allow your server to run all the time it shuts down after 15s from last call, and it takes too long to restart and send back response when you call it again after 15 min. better alternative is vercel but you have to configure some files to be able to deploy an api to it.
do you have any recomendations on where do I learn the basics os authentication and password encrypting?
Just subbed! :)
Thank you a lot!
Antonio, one question, how did you get an actual arrow when you create and arrow function, it's with an extension?
Really good content i really like the way you code bro !! can you do a tutorial about jwt token ?
Thank you! In the future i will probably have more tutorials like that and with jwt token for sure
sir antonio can you make a masterclass for this, like "next-auth" like having a logic to implementing "email verification, password reset, otp, oauth provider, role base"
Personally, I would not suggest it for beginners; there is little to no explanation and it might be quite daunting for those of you who are just getting started.
Very true. Thought exactly the same.
I thought the same
I'm beginner but I understand pretty well I like it ❤
@arpan157 do you know any other good videos on express js?
But which is better ?
This or the simple express.js
Do more backend tutorials !!
Will do in the future! Thank you for watching!
Hi Antonio, what an amazing video
can you spill the extension/plugin of your terminal, so i can get suggestion of command like in 6:55? Thanks!!
what font settings do you use in vscode to have ligatures? I tried cascadia code and firecode, but with them the font became somehow bold.
what is the best way to create a user logout route? Great job!!! Cumps
Hi, thanks to that next api routes, is there any need to build a backend service ? I mean, instead of building a backend service with java spring, can I use that next rest api creations ?
Hey so this tutorial is a separate backend using Node, Next is more of a framework where you would keep both your backend and frontend combined. If you want a separate backend like in Spring then maybe Next would not be the best choice, but rather some other React template which is not a framework and only compiles React
Can u please more videos on express Node backend and production deployment.
Thanks for the suggestion! I will look into it!
Do we need the "mongoose.Promise = Promise;" line? and what does it do? thank you very much
Hi please is this video alright for beginners in nodejs and backend development in general?
if finished, can it be deployed right away or you have to do some configuration?
what is the differences between httpServer.listen() and app.listen(), the first is using http modules, and express framework?
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.. I've got an error on the tsconfig.ts file the property "moduleResolution": "node",
^ The only one of these comments actually following along.
His TS Config is broken....
