🤯 Express.js 5 is here (since a month already, actually)

[@moizrasheed]

We got Express v5 before GTA 6.

[@hrvoje.marjanovich]

Yeahh

[@pablohassan4]

[@IvanRandomDude]

It took them 11 years to add one feature which was already available via express-async-handler package or with 10 lines of custom async wrapper.

[@academind]

It's really funny 😅

[@monkeydluffy2063]

It's not like they were developing it for 11 years lol. The feature was not important enough for 11 years to warrant a major release

[@Biglu193]

@@academind They just save us exactly two lines of code. 😀 Let wait another 10 years, and they maybe include Dotenv by default to version 6 , so we dont need to install it. 🤣

[@WesTodd-p4c]

@@academind I think folks don't realize how *not* funny it was. The project stalled because the primary maintainer could not manage the community and onboard new folks to share the work. It took many years to build trust and then to assemble a group who he trusted enough to take over. It burnt out many people, including myself, and has held back the whole entire Node.js ecosystem for many years. This release is boring because we didn't have enough people to make it more exciting, and we had a backlog of features, fixes, and security things to deal with just to get ANY releases out. And we had to do it all while being VERY careful not to break that trust in the stability which has been earned over the last 10 years. It was not fun at all, and when I see comments like OP's, I am reminded how many people take OSS for granted and don't realize people are out there donating their time to make these things. So just remember folks, if you have not nice things to say about a community run OSS project: pitch in or shut up, because unless you are involved and contributing to the project you have NO IDEA what is going on.

I sense Hono.js inspiration in this release

[@damon-burton]

The native promise support in Express.js 5 is a game-changer. It simplifies asynchronous operations and makes code more readable. The body parser changes are also a welcome addition, enhancing security and performance. Express.js 5 seems like a significant upgrade that will streamline web development.

Thanks for the insightful video. Just one question. Which screen annotation tool do you use?

Hey, Maximilian brother, where did you stay? How did you get sick? We look forward to seeing your travel videos 😁

[@MinhazurSarker]

I think they don't update it because many corporate comoanies use it and they need stability.

[@omarfarquek3833]

I think express should update more by breaking Changes such as django djngo drf has too many building support but in this express is backdated write more code to handle scalable and clean code to maintain so express should update and bring more built in support to make rest api more simple and efficient

[@dennismurimi-m8c]

Hello, which software does Max use to highlight text in the videos ? Like the way he draws pink rectangles and arrows to emphasis on something.

[@coherentpanda7115]

It sounds as if they have a new team who are going to maintain it. Let's hope that is the case and features start coming. Other than being a great learning tool for Node.js apis, there are better lightweight options out there like Fastify and Hono that offer more.

[@alex-cf4dy]

Hi Max, can you add a new Node.js or backend JS specific course to udemy? I recently finished your older node.js course and was wondering what your new opinions on node are. Thank you.

Guys - do yourself a favor - learn Nest.js and never go back to other FWs... (I know that Nest uses Express adapter (or Fastify)) - but really, learn Nest.js a forget the rest.

[@sukmaraharja7446]

Is there any reason why nest specifically?

[@geelemo]

It's only useful if you're going to write an app with a huge scope. Nest is not beginner friendly

[@jaroslavhuss7813]

@@geelemo I highly disagree. Nest helps with so many hard things - especially with architecture and DTO validation. Not talking about queue, caching, file uploading and so much more. Nest is the best BE fw in ts ecosystem.
