Introduction2:31
Credits0:45
Prerequisites1:56
Exercise Files1:22
Download and use the section exercise files, including client, server, and shared swift package, to follow along with the grocery project or its final exercise.
Agenda1:46
Master full stack iOS development by building client side UI with swiftui and server side APIs with vapor, incrementally implementing login and registration to reveal real-world design decisions.

IMPORTANT: Swift Tools Version0:26
Installing Vapor3:08
Hello Vapor7:44
Learn to scaffold a vapor project with viper toolbox and vapor new, install dependencies in Xcode, run the server on port 3000, configure scheme to run from the project directory.
Folder Structure2:34
Learn about Vapor's updated folder structure, where all files live in the app folder, main.swift becomes entry point, and the run folder is removed, simplifying project setup.

Basic Routes and Route Parameters10:40
Strongly Typed Route Parameters3:35
Learn to access strongly typed route parameters in Vapor by treating the customer ID as an integer, validating input with guard, and returning a bad request on non numeric values.
Returning JSON5:57
POST Requests (JSON)4:56
Create a post route in Vapor to receive JSON payloads, decode them into a movie model, and return the same movie as JSON.
Query Strings7:12
Route Groups5:49
Use route groups with app.grouped to create prefix-based collections like movies and users, handle route parameters, and build scalable, nested routes for large Vapor apps.

What is Fluent?3:30
IMPORTANT: ElephantSQL is Shutting Down10:28
Postgres App
Beekeeper Community Edition

2. Create the database:
CREATE DATABASE mydatabase;
CREATE USER myuser WITH PASSWORD 'mypassword';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE mydatabase TO myuser;
Exit the PostgreSQL prompt:
\q
Resources: Postgres App0:07
Resources: Postgres App, BeeKeeper Studio etc0:07
Setting Up Postgres Database on ElephantSQL4:12
Learn to set up a Postgres database on Elephant SQL and connect it to a Vapor app to return JSON, using the free tiny turtle plan.
UPDATE: Postgres Configuration0:12
Adding Fluent Package7:42
Creating Movie Model5:47
Creating Tables Using Migration12:57
Saving Movie7:29
Get All Movies & Get Movie By Id5:51
Fetch all movies with a get route and retrieve a single movie by id using the find function, root parameters, and async/await, with error handling for missing entries.
Deleting Movie3:15
Delete a movie in vapor using the delete http method at movies/:id. Find the movie by ID, delete it, and return the deleted record, validating with Postman.
Updating Movie7:21

What we will be building?2:31
Build a grocery app with registration and login using JWT, a Vapor server on Heroku, and SwiftUI client managing categories and items from Postgres with DTOs via Swift Package Manager.
Creating Vapor Project and SwiftUI Project3:05
Create a vapor server folder and a swift application project using a barebones template, name the grocery app server and grocery app, then plan to add fluent and jwt dependencies.
Adding Dependencies to the Vapor Project3:24
Add required dependencies to the vapor project, including fluent, fluent postgresql driver, and JWT, configure targets, and prepare the project for authentication and a local Postgres database.
Setting Up Postgres Database Locally5:32
Downloading Beekeeper Studio for Database Management3:23
Visualize and query relational databases with Beekeeper Studio. Download the community edition for arm64 mac, install via DMG or AppImage, and connect to a local Postgres database.
Resource: Downloading Beekeeper Studio Community Edition0:08
Connecting Beekeeper Studio to Local Postgres Database4:19

Requirements
