Building Node.js APIs using ESM with Express and MongoDB

Learn how to use ECMAScript Modules in a Node.js application. We will start from changing Node's module system and step by step you will learn how to create applications with the Express Framework and MongoDB.

You will learn how to do CRUD operations (create, read, update and delete) on MongoDB using Mongoose. You will understand how model associations work in MongoDB and you will also learn how to sanitise and  validate user inputs.

We will learn how to authenticate users while learning about JSON Web Tokens. We will also cover role-based application end points, like "admin only" area that can be used in a plethora of use cases.

You will learn how to properly setup your development environment using best practices, covering things like: 

• How a config driven application works
• Use Linters (Eslint) and Formatters (Prettier)
• How to automatically seed your database with thousands of entries while in development
• Get your application ready for deployment

Throughout the course you will use only the latest Javascript features shedding off the unnecessary boilerplate from previous versions of Javascript and Node.js

The course is divided into:

• Coding along
• Challenges
• Sandbox (how it works). 

So enroll now and lets get started.
