Build a full-stack to-do app with the mern stack—node, express, mongodb, and react—featuring authentication, a rest api, and CRUD operations, plus routing and redux toolkit.
Encrypts passwords using bcrypt js and stores hashed values in a Mongoose MongoDB Atlas database. Implements registration and login with hashing, length validation, and secure password comparison.
learn how json web tokens enable authentication in a MERN app by issuing a token on login, storing it on the client, and verifying it with middleware for protected routes.
Build and test a full todos api with five endpoints: get all, create, update, delete all, delete one; protected by verify token middleware using bearer tokens, scoped to the user.
Finish a full stack JavaScript app with React, Node/Express, and MongoDB, and deploy to production via GitHub and platforms like Heroku or Render.
This is a complete MERN stack course that takes Javascript developers from novice to full stack engineers. We build an entire full stack application that covers all the foundations of the MERN stack so that students can truly be full stack developers. We start with the backend with creating a node project, then we incorporate express for our rest api framework. Then we connect to a real live Mongo database in the cloud. Our rest api includes password hashing with Bcrypt as well as handling json web tokens for authentication. We then move onto creating our React application with a beautiful interface using modern ui/ux principles. Lastly we use the most in demand state management technology, Redux, to help us manage state by sharing data received by the backend api with the different components in our application. This large project is meant to teach all the different technologies and bring them all together to build out a comprehensive and full stack application. By taking this course, students will be ready for senior level positions in Javascript as they have a deep intuition on how real world applications are build from front to back. Prior to taking this course, it is highly recommended to also take my React course since in that course I cover all the React basics such as components, routing and the basics of Redux. The purpose of this course is to help developers understand how to create a real world application using all these technologies so they have an intuition of how everything works from front to back.
