Vanilla Node.js REST API | No Framework

I realized I have never done this. In an actual project, you would most likely use Express or some other framework, but I wanted to do this for learning purposes so you can see a bit of what goes on under the hood. This API can be improved (eg. creating a better router), so feel free to work on it and make a PR :) Hope you enjoy!

Wow bro the way you explain things is truly next level!!! All your tutorials and the way you take us step by step with every project that you build is honestly just a MASTERCLASS! Can't thank you enough for everything bro!

THIS is what I was looking for, it's like learning JS before you learn React. Every other video has been "just use this service" without even explaining the abstraction of the original things those call to.

Thanks Brad

Thank you man, very helpfull this video. Really appriciate it I will follow your channel jejej again Thanks a lot

best video, i love it

amazing!! Thankyouu

thankyou so much for sharing

Thanks Brad

it don’t matter if you have an issue or not, if you plan on learning like this, don’t expect to be helped. these people put all this information in a video, don’t ever come back to read comments or anything. this shit sucks. if you are new to this shit, you’re going to see a lot of the same bullshit.

my shit was working before all of the new folders, and i followed everything he did. this is the number 1 reason this type of learning is complete ass. dude just doing this for views. you won’t get any reply.

Awesome video, very well explained. Thank you

Thank you for your video.

thank u sooooo much really worth and i made it with u step by step , it's fully functional at me

This was a great project sir I enjoyed the video please can we get this video sithe a real life project just to see how this applies in a real life situation
I still dont understand where and how to apply this in a real life project
I would love you do a video like that and a big thks so far

thanks for creating a beautiful content. and I happy to let you know that I completed it.

Please make a video of how you'd do this using a sql server database

I wonder how your api manages to work with uuid generated id that is checked by regex (in server.js) that seeks for numbers
/\/api\/products\/[0-9]+/ i had to rewrite mine like this /\/api\/products\/(\d+|[a-f0-9-]+)/ in order to get it to work

Change match expression to req.url.match(/\/api\/products\/([\d]|-?[\d[a-f])+/) everything else will just work fine...

Can I use such API to fetch data into a mobile app?
Thanks, Brad ✌️

I think the RegEx for "/api/products/:id" urls considering uuids would be
/\/api\/products\/([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)/

I followed through the entire course except for one thing. I used a regular array instead of a json file since I was using an old file from a previous tutorial. Because of this every time the server restarts all the changes made in the server got overridden and I had to start over again. Nice course, this really makes me appreciate Express.js.

One of the best tutorial I have seen, thank you for this. Plus, you have a way to speak which is very comprehensible for non-english people like me, I'm quite amazed to understand very well each word !

Thank you very much, really much appreciated.

can you please explain why we did chunk.toString() in the getPostData function ?

When using " writeDataToFile("./data/products.json", products) " in productModel, why do we only put 1 dot before /data, and not 2 dots ? don't we need 2 dots to go outside the models folder?

great

Incredible quality video! Good voice record and nice material!

There are many videos and blogs with titles 'REST API using NODE' and each one them are using Express. I wanted to learn how can I do it using Node only and I got this...Great work💕❤

Getting a lot of bugs even though I used the same code...please help

I enjoyed it ,thanks . Keep up great work. Have a Happy New year .

Completed excellent tutorial on CRUD API in Vanilla JS. Thanks, again, Brad

Thank you, great video. It took me forever to realize that my delete response body wasn't showing up because I used a 204 response code. I like the idea of using a 200 and being able to confirm the deletion.

How can I connect Angular with Node (of couse as API ) without Express ?
