NodeJs API for Beginners (Marketplace with AWS & MongoDB)

Discover how middleware controls request flow using the use method, log details with Morgan, and create custom middleware that calls next to proceed. Apply authentication and validation to protect routes.

Build an API in Node.js that returns JSON objects for get and post requests, uses Postman for testing, and demonstrates composing posts arrays with titles.

build a create post endpoint in nodejs, reading json from the request body, saving the post with mongoose, and returning the created post.

Learn to fetch all posts from the database using the Post model, return a clean json response, and customize fields with select to show id, title, and body.

Refactor the route controllers to reduce repetition and prepare the app for authentication. Restrict post creation to authenticated users and plan for login, registration, password reset, and social login.

Build a robust node.js api for a two-type buyer-seller real estate marketplace using MongoDB and jwt authentication, with aws for images and emails, and endpoints for ads, login, and search.

Create and configure a Node.js api project using express, Morgan, cors, and nodemon, with a modular entry point at index.js and a /api route returning the current time.

Organize routes by creating a server folder and an auth router for login, handling post /login and returning JSON from the request body. Prefix with /api and test with postman.

Organize a Node.js API by moving route callbacks into an auth controller (auth.js), exporting api and login handlers, and importing them in routes to run after a successful mongoose connection.

Explore a login system that hashes and compares passwords using bcrypt. Then switch to Node.js's crypto pbkdf2 with salt and iterations, and use JWT-based authentication.

Set up a root AWS account, then create an IAM user and dev group with S3 and SES full access, and generate an access key and secret for development.

Learn how to verify email addresses in AWS SES within a sandbox environment, manage production access, and test email delivery for a Node.js marketplace app.

Set up AWS environment variables for a node.js API, including access key, secret, region, and API version, and configure verified from emails and app-related env vars for sending emails.

Implement login validation in a Node.js API, validating email using an email validator library and enforcing password rules, and return clear json error responses.

Register new users by checking email existence, sending a welcome email, hashing passwords, and generating a six-character nano id username; issue a seven-day JWT and return user data without password.

Create a get route for the currently logged in user with require sign in middleware, fetch the user by id from request.user, omit the password, and return the user data.

Learn to implement image uploads for a real estate marketplace using AWS S3, including bucket setup, policy creation, and resizing with Multer before uploading, then prepare ad creation routes.

Resize multiple images with sharp, upload to AWS S3 using a modular flow that records mime type and uploaded by the current user, then return image URLs in JSON.

Create a post route to upload multiple images to AWS S3 using token auth and form-data. Learn region configuration, avoid ACL conflicts, and resize images with Serp.
