MERN Stack Full Tutorial & Project | Complete All-in-One Course | 8 Hours

[@DaveGrayTeachesCode]

A 40 second intro followed by nearly 8 hours of code and instruction to help you build a complete MERN Stack Project. I bookmarked all 13 chapters in the description. If you complete one lesson per day, you'll complete the full course in 13 days. Join my Discord server to discuss and ask questions: discord.gg/neKghyefqh

Thanks Dave. I figured that out shortly after I asked in the comments, but i really appreciate your response. Currently doing a software development in college and your content is invaluable. When I settle in for the evening I'll be contributing to your coffee fund. Cheers

how the interview was? is it hard , are they ask you hard questions about (node ,express) backend? because I really don't understand the second part ( middleware ) the logger or error handler!

[@zombiefacesupreme]

I sincerely think that this is one of the best MERN tutorials on the web. I have done over 40 tutorials at this point both free and paid(I do not recommend), and very few people put forth the amount of effort and care that Dave did here-- especially in terms of the authentication process. I am constantly finding myself comparing other tutorials unfavorably to this one. Thanks for making this fantastic content for free, Dave! You're a gem!

[@mattmjlg5053]

Let’s support this man! The fact that you released something so in depth… I haven’t even watched more than 5 minutes but I found a answer to a solution I’d been looking for! Do you recommend a newbie full stack developer to just go for it and build a app this stacked to gain the most experience? Or should I watch tutorials / read a ton before attempting this on my own. I ask because I’ve got the ladder approach and haven’t moved much but when I jump in I learn the lost

[@DaveGrayTeachesCode]

Thank you for the support! I recommend all of the pre-requisites I list at the beginning of the video (also in the description) first - before attempting this project.

I'm halfway through watching this video, and I must say it's the best one I've seen so far. I've watched hundreds of videos, and many of them had numerous issues - apps crashing, not functioning properly, working fine in the video but failing when you try to follow along. However, this one gets a solid two thumbs up from me for the developer, Dave

Thank you! And you will want to note that the mongoose-sequence package used does not work with the latest Mongoose version. Use the version listed in my package.json or use a different dependency than mongoose-sequence that provides the same functionality. This will be important when you add new notes.

Superb, well presented!! Dave is a rare gem. He has excellent teaching skills and the way he anticipates common pitfalls of online tutoring demonstrates the unique skill set of a true maestro. P.S. The autoincrement feature in the notes model does not work in the latest versions of mongoose.

[@DaveGrayTeachesCode]

Thank you - and yes, some discussions on my Discord about the autoincrement feature. Other packages are available for this or you can roll back to the version of Mongoose that I used here (listed in my package.json).

Thank you for pointing this out!! I'm testing my notes endpoints on Postman and the request for creating a new note kept hanging and not going anywhere and I couldn't figure out why it wasn't working. Spent all morning trying to fix this :s. Rolled back the mongoose version and it works great now!

Dave, this is very nice. Although you should have dealt with user registration also but you didn't touch it. Just went straight to authentication then giving admins the only ability to create a user. It wasn't what I was expecting

[@DaveGrayTeachesCode]

It was what is needed for an internal application. I believe I discussed this with the user stories explanation. The owner or admins will create new users for the people they decide to hire. It is not for the public.

I know this course is beneficial for lot of intermediate full stack app developers but if you can add few minutes on what and why? Before implementing : this course will help for the begginers too I'm truly enjoying the course but this is my suggestion on the difficulty that i faced .

Amazing tutorial! I personally preferred you writing the code, since it was easier following for me, but the second half was helpful as well! :) I'm wondering if I missed something, but if you are able to access the API with Postman, wouldn't that also require role verification on the backend? I managed to create an admin user as an employee with Postman: 1. POST localhost:3500/auth | { "username": "Joe", "password": "1234" } 2. copy token into Authorization header (Bearer ...) 3. POST localhost:3500/users | { "username": "Joe2", "password": "1234", "roles": ["Admin", "Manager", "Employee"] } 4. Now you can log in as Joe2 in the frontend and do everything
