THANK YOU for this! Very helpful!
Max has been teaching me to be a better developer for three years now! Let's goooo! 😊😊😊😊😊
Best nodejs walkthrough on TH-cam
thank you
Academind
for this part
Thank you for this awesome series and also make social network website like Facebook with nodejs, express, mongodb. I every day waiting for your video's
Excellent tutorial, great for anyone starting out with REST API!
Thank you so much for your comment Michael!
You are awesome! Have made me understand this finally! Keep up the awesome work this really means a lot to me, being able to understand all of this
I almost never comment on tutorials, but this was a really good tutorial. It was short and I feel like I actually learned things instead of just copying code. 👍
can confirm,
i'm working on a site and the front-end was somewhat easy,
the backend is a nightmare for my mind,
this really cleared some misunderstanding "hooks" that i had for express JS
thankyou for this serious
Nice Tutorial, thanks..God Bless You..
mind blowing man, the best tutorial on the youtube platform, beginners and experience both required a explanation like you, hats of you man.... MAX you are a legend. Thanks a lot for this tutorial
Max, I love you man! Been taking your courses for a couple years now. As of Feb 2020, is this serious still still wiable and up to date? Thanks dude!
Thanks a lot. You're the best.
Hi Maximilian, thank you for the informative video on creating a REST API with Node.js. I found your explanations and step-by-step process really helpful.
I noticed that you used pure JavaScript for your backend application. I was wondering what your thoughts were on using TypeScript instead. TypeScript has some great benefits like static typing and improved code maintainability. Was there a specific reason why you chose not to use TypeScript in this particular project?
I'd love to hear your perspective on this. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge through these videos!
Getting closer and closer to 100k subs! Great job, Max! 👍 Awesome content and presentation. Love your channel!
That's indeed so awesome Alex, I'm so happy to see how the channels keeps growing thanks to all of you guys! Also thanks a lot for your amazing feedback :)
Hi Maximilian, thank you for all the knowledge you have being pouring out. This is the second programming language I will be learning with your materials. The first one was from Udemy and I really enjoyed it.
Talking of PHP, I'll like to ask if you have a PHP course for building Restful APIs. If yes, please share the link as I've looked around for it and can't find it. If no, do you have plans of making one soon?
You are amazing. Thanks a lot for the tutorials, it is so so simple explanation and the first time without any hiccups something works without set up issues!
Happy to read that, thanks a lot!
Thank you for your useful courses thank you 😊
Sir you are really great I have ever seen such type of teaching way like you thanks so much for making people happy and evolve the world using technology .
I am from india and u are really great thanks so much again and namaste ..
Thank you so much Manmohan, that's just amazing to hear! :)
Great man.. Now I finally decided to create API's with NodeJS .
Awesome! Thanks for your great feedback Sachin!
Thank you for your tutorial, how can we implement NodeJS- base API which will give the results of an SNMP poll of a remote server, having snMp community string, snmp OID1 and snmp OID2, remote server IP any address with port 161, Thanks
Keep them coming, can 't wait for the next one :)
Awesome to read that you like the series, next part coming soon!
Keep up the good work dude ;)
Thank you so much for all your help.
Thank you!
Thank you so much sir !!!!!
Max awesome content! I'm researching a Reference error: Process is not define. I'm researching this but the documentation is not clear to me. Any Help is received with gratitude.
For best tutorial on node js watch w3 Grads:
th-cam.com/video/wefZImC7vn4/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/iHQXkxiwi3Q/w-d-xo.html
For newcomers: You can use
server.use(app); // app is imported from app.js
server.listen(8000, () => {
console.log('App is listening on port 8000!')
});
can you tell me what is the differnce beween this code and Max sir coe because i am in newcomers in node js
Thnku but this code worked it
Why does he use both express and http? Express is enough to get the job done in this video..... I am confused....
A perfect teacher to learn any CS technology! Keep it up Man!
Max, junge, by far the best tutorials around. I am over 30, never coded before, just got into it like three months ago and learning a lot. Owe you a big deal. Thanks a lot.
Thanks so much Leandro, I wish you all the best on your programming journey :)
that's helpful.thanks man you doing well
Thank you so much for sharing this Jesse :)
Bro you are great did well.. very good explanation.... love you brother. :)
This setup of express server , is it something that shroud be perceived as intuitive or I should memorize the code?
Thanks learn a lot from your vedio 😎 amazing bro
I saw a SO post saying that "--save" is no longer needed because it automatically adds the dependency to package.json. For some reason, it doesn't work for me. So is it still needed?
thanks a lot bro
Thank you, it gives me what api is for the first time. Please create more and more enlightening tutorials like this.
Thanks for your awesome feedback! I'll try my best!
Love the way you show how things add up and they way they fit together
Thank you, makes me really happy to read that you like my explanations!
This video is the most apt to my project even after 4 years of its release. Just want to say thank you, to Academind!
This is helpful, also purchased angular course on Udemy. Love your teaching style.
I see Max , I like the video.
Supper cool. Thanks a lot Max :)
Thank YOU for your awesome feedback Sampath!
Nice one, thank you
Helpful Lecture
your knowledge is awesome and also have neat and clean voice also good your explanation about any topics.
thank you.
Really great to read that Usama, thank you very much for your wonderful feedback :)
Thank you very much for this tutorial series. It's very helpful and it's same as my project 😁
Hello there!! I am trying ot create my restful Api resources using node js, howvere our compnay uses apache web server. Do i need to install Node js in our server? or can i just use the methods you are curently expaling and installl node js as a dependency in my project. Thanks! Tonathiu
Max, did you think of using babel-watch inside the project? It allows using 'import' style syntax as well as all new but yet unsupported features of ES 2017
I considered a more complex setup but decided against it to keep the project/videos focused on the core of the series, which of course is building the RESTful API itself
Excellent 👌👍 brother
thank you
I use RESTFUL APIs on mobile apps but never ever built a restful server. I am learning from you. Also following your tip and learning Vue . I have a question: I'm having trouble in memorizing all the different programming languages syntax . I do C for micro controllers, swift for iOS, now javascript, including css html. How do you do it? what is your trick? Thank you Max.
You are awesome!!
I installed node express with sucess, in server.js im getting red squigly(sorry for spelling) under re in require('http'). Am i missing somethkng?
Thanks
Think about everything max does support him by getting his courses on udemy they are all amazing thanks for this tutorial
Thanks so much for your great feedback and for your support here and on Udemy Eddie! This honestly means a lot to me!
thank you for the tutorial.
btw, is the server.js is necessary if I'm in react native for mobile dev and planning to use this tutorial? I mean, that "http" thing.
please reply, I would appreciate so much. :)
You need to spin up the Node.js server - the file can be named whatever you want though. But the content is important, yes
thanks for this video is so cool,but way you make a server in native node and don't use express "app.listen(port ,function () {
console.log('listening at ' + port);
})"
it just question ?
and thanks again :)
I always wondered about the same thing when watching last two express series on this channel. Why not just app.listen Max?
Simply a habit - you can use both, that's absolutely true
Thanks for a quick reply as always! Do you ever REST? :P
Not really an efficient habit, though. I agree with other guys that this pattern feels odd
Andrey Bogdanov actually I realized that if you want to have http, https and websockets all using one connection then you need to do it the http.createserver way :p
Hello Max, I see that you are running this, I assume on a local machine. How would I deploy this to an azure resource. I have limited access to azure resources, but I was thinking that I could create a ubuntu linux vm and would I install apache and then bundle this code and put it in the http directory or would I install node on the linux box and then not sure of my options.
Why dont you use express instead of using http module? For example you could just like so:
const express = require('express')
const app = express()
const port = 3000
app.get('/', (req, res) => res.send('Hello World!'))
app.listen(port, () => console.log(`Example app listening on port ${port}!`))
awesome!
i am getting events.js:183 error can you help me and how to remove all ready used port
not working. server is running but not showing on local host
Does anyone know what is difference using app.listen(port) and using http to create a server and listen to the port ?
I am using the vscode Extension "Rest Client" instead of Postman which is good to share the API Requests which each other working on the same code.
thanks for the tip!
What is that package-lock file when you add express? (min 5:24 aprox)
package-lock.json is automatically generated for any operations where npm modifies either the node_modules tree, or package.json . It describes the exact tree that was generated, such that subsequent installs are able to generate identical trees, regardless of intermediate dependency updates. (c) npm documentation
thanks!
It's working
Sir I am not able to see part 1 of this API series..can you share the link of part 1
Why can we omit file extension at 11:01? We don't use web pack, which as you, Max, have explained in React course on Udemy, handles the file extensions, including .js and .jsx files. Did you I misunderstand you?
'require' is one of the core functions of node.js. If there is no file extension, require function automatically add '.js' at the end of the parameter.
Спасибо за уроки!
I tried the same code and the page does not works where as i did
const server = http.createServer(app);
but does not works. any suggestion plz
Fire!
I got no response on linux mint... got timeout error... what am i missing here?
100% work on linux mint
In my case, it was a typo ('http.createServer()' instead of 'http.createServer(app)').
@@viniciusvelloso1575 thanks man. saved my day...
I ended up using server.listen(3300); use app.listen(3300, () => console.log(`Listening on port ${port}...`));
This will use the express server, not the http server.
@@viniciusvelloso1575 That's true and it works. I completely missed it in the video when he typed the app as a parameter
When creating the "app.use" what does the => represent?
You are wonderful. ı speak foreign language than you. but you taught this lesson to me awesome. Thanks
Happy to read that, thank you for your comment!
@@academind Thanks :)
Thanks
but i am little confused about what will be the 3 rd parameter that browser takes in app.use((req,res,next) [i mean next parameter ]
next moves to the next operation.
function Todo () {
// Your code
next ()
}
TypeError: 'caller', 'callee', and 'arguments' properties may not be accessed on strict mode functions or the arguments objects for calls to them..i got the error when run on node js..please help me
Humble request to make tutorial ticket system using Laravel
Hello, nice video but i only dont understand why you start the app using pure nodejs code instead of expressjs ? Is there any reason for that ?
but if I host node on a goddady server, in need to use node on my laptop to setup the files then use ftp to put them on the server - you cant work on node js as you are on the say goddady server..
Can't we use PUT instead of PATCH?
Max... may i ask a quick query abt nomenclature... REST and RESTful... when do we use one or the other
REST is simply just the shorter form of RESTful :)
Academind got it. Thank you
I hope these APIs could also be used in flutter?
太棒了!
great teacher
Happy to read that, thank you very much!
Max, i am still missing a node.js complete udemy course. Can we hope for it any time in a close future? That would be neat! Great video btw!
No concrete plans as of now to be honest but we'll see - Node certainly is an interesting topic. Thank you for your comment Wéder, awesome to read that you like the video!
Yes! We need a course from you on nodejs and mongodb!
Do you know why he using http wrapper. We can use express app.listen(PORT) without http library
good information :)
Awesome
I’m using the vs code and I’ve installed the recommended extensions for work with node js but i don’t get the intellisense like yours.
Install required package from within VS Code
who faces with the =>(unexpected token) problem ?
This is a great serious
;)
max can you explain callback hell in nodejs and how to avoid it
Hi, check this video - it should explain everything you need (it applies for Node.js, too): th-cam.com/video/jgWnccjXR4I/w-d-xo.html
could this work with a react js application?
Yes
Welcome back to this serious
;)
bro u damn good at what u do
Thanks so much Antonio, this really means a lot to me!
@@academind by the way your current logo rock balls
Спасибо за науку! Разговорный английский плохо понимаю, но тут всё интуитивно понятно )
Is it bad practice to start the server like this?
app.listen(port, ()=>{
console.log('Server started on port '+port);
});
Please post what is the best way ?
Srry, i forgot the '?'
That was a question if the code above was bad practice, because he did it in a different way!!
??this reply for my question
No, just another question that happened to be the same :)
Hi ,first of all thank you for the wonderful tutorial.
I have a small doubt , about folder structuring.
Instead of creating the app.js and server.js inside the root folder, i created in .git--> root-->src-->api-->my-node-api-->{server.js,app.js}
and I am trying to start the server from root and, it wasn't working .I had to go to my-node-api folder to run the "node server " command to make this work.
Is there any way to configure, such that I can run "node server " from the .git--> root.
how to use single node js api for mobile app(android/ios) and web(template engine) both?
RESTful api is what is used for both as it recieves and sends data only. It doesn't care about the clients or what the client see's such as html styled with css, or the document object model. It only cares about the data that's sent and recieved.
It's not necessarily node.js but the api you create if that makes sense.
