Node js REST APIs Development Using Sequelize ORM

Begin phase one of api development by installing and using sequelize with mysql2 connectivity, creating models, and building crud based APIs with express, node, and body-parser.

Configure express for phase one by creating app.js, binding port 8087, and adding a route that returns status, message, and a packages array including express, node, Sequelize, and body parser.

Connects node js rest apis to MySQL database using Sequelize ORM, creates a database, configures a Sequelize db object, and authenticates to verify connectivity.

Learn to create a users table with id, name, email, and gender using a Sequelize db object; define data types, defaults, and sync to generate the table.

Learn the second method to create a users table with Sequelize by defining a model class, initializing fields, configuring the Sequelize instance, and syncing the model to create the table.

Build a save data API by posting to create a user, using a create method on the user table, and reading body parameters with body parser to return a response.

Organize a Node.js rest api by creating route and database modules with Sequelize for connection, user table creation, and binding routes to Express.

learn how to save data in bulk with sequelize bulkCreate by posting an array of users to a bulk add route and receiving a json success response.

Create a list data api endpoint that lists all users from the users table using the findAll method, returning data on success and an error message on failure.

Learn to build a get single user data API in node js using sequelize, retrieving a user by id with findOne, handling found, not found, and errors, tested via postman.

Implement the update data api using a put /update user route that checks the user by id, then updates name and email via Sequelize, handling errors along the way.

Develop a delete user api using node js and sequelize; verify user exists by id from the url, then destroy the user and respond with success or error messages.

Begin phase two of API development with JWT authentication, a one-to-many users-to-blogs relation, and routes for registration, login, profile, and blogs using express and sequelize.

Configure basic express settings in Node.js by creating app.js, setting port 8087, and adding a welcome route. Separate routes into routes.js and database.js, then wire them with app.use.

Learn how to set up database connectivity with Sequelize in a Node.js API, create a MySQL database in phpMyAdmin, and authenticate the connection.

Create the users and blogs tables for a node js rest api using sequelize, defining users(name, email, gender, password) and blogs(user_id, title, description), then sync to build the database.

Create a node js register user api using post /register, hash passwords with bcrypt, validate name, email, and gender, and check email existence before insertion.

Explore how the json web token package enables secure data transmission in node APIs, understand the three-part jwt (header, payload, signature), and install and use the package.

Create a user login API that validates email and password using bcrypt, then issues a signed JWT token with user id and email for protected routes.

Create a separate jwt-settings module for secret key, audience, issuer, expiration, and not before, and import it in app.js. Modularize the JWT config to simplify updates across routes.

Learn to build a protected user profile API with JWT authentication: read authorization headers, verify tokens, handle expired or invalid tokens, and return user data.

Learn how to implement request middleware to protect routes with JWT verification, handle authorization headers, and pass control to the user profile API.

Add blog API protected by JWT middleware using Sequelize to store blogs with user id, title, and content; demonstrates token-based access, request handling, and unit testing.

Build a protected list blog api using jwt middleware to read the user id and return blocks from the blocks table, with 'no block found' when empty.

Learn to build a protected delete blog API in Node.js using Sequelize ORM, which checks block existence by user and block id from the URL before deletion via JWT middleware.

Master the third phase of api development with sequelize cli, learning jwt authentication and creating node js rest apis for employees and projects, including registration, login, profile, and product apis.

Learn how to use the Sequelize CLI npm package to initialize projects, manage migrations, seeds, and models, and connect to databases via a generated config.json.

Learn how to create a MySQL database with Sequelize CLI using the config.json development settings, run Sequelize db create, and verify the database in phpMyAdmin.

Create tables with Sequelize migrations by generating a migration file, defining an up method to build the table and a down method to drop it, then run db migrate.

Set up a model and migration in a node application using Sequelize, generate and attach a model to a devices table, and migrate with name and attributes flags.

Learn to create and use seeders in node applications with Sequelize. Seed data with up methods, and down methods to drop data, and run all or specific seeds.

Learn how to seed the database using faker to generate bulk fake data, creating employees and devices, and run seed commands with Sequelize for efficient testing.

Learn how to set up a Node.js application with Sequelize ORM, create migrations, models, and seeders, and generate fake student data with faker for a Sequelize-powered API.

Learn to use the findAll method with Sequelize to fetch students, limit results, select specific columns (id, name, email), apply offset, and order by id or name.

Learn how to use Sequelize operators to filter data with findAll, applying equals, greater than, greater than equals, between, and in conditions, and combine id and gender filters.

Master Sequelize's like operator and wildcards to filter records by pattern, such as emails containing yahoo.com, and names containing a substring, using a single object with GT and LTE.

Explore how to use sequelize or and operators to filter students by id range and email pattern in a node api, using gt, lte, and like conditions.

Build a basic node app with express and json web token authentication, set up sequelize migrations for employees and projects, and configure the database and a welcome route.

Create employees and projects tables through Sequelize migrations in the third API development phase, defining columns like id, name, email, password, phone number, gender, and project details with status.

Structure node js rest apis with routes and models, implement register, login, and profile endpoints, and configure body parser and bcrypt for secure data.

Develop a user registration API using Sequelize, including findOne checks with Sequelize operators to verify existing users, then create new records in the employees table with bcrypt password hashing.

Develop a login API that verifies email and bcrypt-hashed password with Sequelize, then issues a json web token containing user id and email; handle not found and password mismatch errors.

Learn to secure a protected user profile API with a json web token middleware that verifies authorization headers, attaches token data to the request, and guards the profile payload.
