Create a node.js server and install npm packages to build a MongoDB API. Initialize npm, install express, mongoose, bcrypt, jsonwebtoken, dotenv, and nodemon, then configure dotenv and run with nodemon.
Learn to build a user registration API with Node.js and MongoDB, defining a mongoose schema, validating username, email, and password, hashing passwords with bcrypt, and exposing a /register endpoint.
Learn to implement the create operation in MongoDB with Node.js and Mongoose by building a product schema and a POST /products API.
Learn to implement a logout API that clears the token cookie and returns a logout message, then fetch all products and a single product by id with findById.
In this comprehensive course, you will explore the core concepts of MongoDB and Node.js, two of the most widely-used technologies in modern web development. The course starts with the essential step of setting up your development environment, ensuring you're ready to work with both Node.js and MongoDB. You’ll also learn how to configure MongoDB Atlas, a cloud-based database platform, making it easy to manage your NoSQL database remotely.
As you progress, you will learn to create APIs for handling user registration, login, and authentication, which are crucial components of most web applications. The course also introduces you to essential CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations, enabling you to efficiently store, retrieve, modify, and delete data from MongoDB. Through hands-on exercises, you'll get practical experience working with these operations, building a deep understanding of how to interact with a MongoDB database.
Throughout the course, you will be guided through real-world scenarios where you’ll integrate these technologies to build dynamic, data-driven applications. The course is structured to ensure that you gain the skills necessary for server-side development, API creation, and database management. By the end of this course, you will have a solid foundation in both MongoDB and Node.js, empowering you to build robust applications and confidently handle data in real-world projects.
