MySQL Node.js Express

[@tye-gehring]

I've watched tons of different coding tutorials, this was by far one of my favorites. You do an amazing job and I hate to see that you haven't added anything in the last few months. Please keep it up, you are very good at explaining things.

[@danielmadison4451]

What is clean code? Hard to define, but you know it when you see it. THIS is CLEAN CODE. Thanks for showing all of us how it's done.

[@fluffybubble6872]

This is one of the best tutorials about using MySQL with Node in youtube. I really enjoyed watching your tutorial and gained a lot of usefull knowledge about topic. You really did a great job !

[@alskjflaksjdflakjdf]

Just getting back into JS after a several year break, great tutorial that shows how modern Node apps can be structured. Thanks for posting!

[@ToddSotheren-u8b]

Thank god someone can actually explain this clearly, comprehensively and concisely - everything I needed to know and nothing I didn't - much appreciated mate 👍

[@huyhoangngo582]

I've been watching a lot of tutorials on connecting MySQL to VSCode and using ExpressJS to implement it. None of the videos gave me a clear idea of what to do. But when I watched your video, you basically made everything clear to me. Just wanted to say thanks for the instructions and keep up the good work.

[@marcelmeyer8027]

I'm a complete newbie to development and JS. Only been sincerely interested in the topic of software development for a few months now. First watched this Video a few weeks ago and didn't understand a lot of it, let alone all. I guess I just wasn't ready for it. Watched it again now, after a lot of reading and watching other videos which were all more or less helpful. And I must say: At this point, all makes perfect sense to me and I am positively amazed as to how much knowledge and practical advice you can put into less then 30 min. of video. Respect for all your skills and thanks for sharing it!

[@phantom3612]

I can't even wrap my head around on how you packed this much of AMAZING content in such a small video. Hats off to you.

[@vityamv]

I can't even wrap my head around on how he used await outside async scope

[@testuser-i9e]

@@vityamv top level await

[@davidbarker7030]

This is a really good guide to using MySQL with express. I first completed the prior tutorial, the Express JS Crash Course. I extended the work I did there during this MySQL tutorial with only a few minor tweaks - uninstalled express 4, installed express 5 beta. Used server.js instead of app.js. Had to change to use ES modules instead of commonjs, so I had to remove 'require' and use imports. Then the rest of the changes were just in database.js (in the first tutorial, it's just a hard-coded in-memory object). It works great! Thanks!

[@koopa9815]

Thanks so much! I LOVE LOVE LOVE how you explain the context of why we write the code a certain way. Helps me out so much knowing background info and prevents me from just following along too blindly!

[@davidmd5329]

All your tutorials are great to follow on practice without missing out............Awesome attribute you have got!!

[@Alex-wg9bi]

Great video! As a computer science student who has studied these concepts/frameworks in class, this was a fantastic streamlined refresher!

[@Fran-mq4mu]

Man, you don't even know how this video helped me, thank you so much for the didactics and for keeping the language simple for those who aren't natives!

[@Hemantraghav-vp3ff]

It is very helpful video for those looking for 'how to connect node.js app to Mysql ". To-the-point tutorial.

[@TheChad9909]

This tutorial is amazing! Very straightforward

[@rutvaydhami367]

Loved your video! One doubt though. Will there be independent database files for every module i have in my application ?

[@lovelyalicekim]

I really love your tutorial which is straightforward and clear. Especially mentioning like why it is the better way to write code. Super helpful!!

[@SchytexGraphics]

Hi! Maybe you should have said from the start that this is not a beginner friendly kind of thing. Really struggled to understand anything, but that's what you get for being a beginner in this field. Will come back to this video once I get a better grasp of MySQL. Thank you for now!

[@andrewcenteno3462]

As an experienced dev, who mainly works with mongoDb, this video was amazing sir. You earned a sub

[@GedasBA]

Perfect, I searched for info when I had problem related to connection and data interaction with remote MySQL DB. This explained everything in one place. Thanks!

[@Antel_007]

One of the best tutorial for mysql node.js

Savage! 28 minutes of mindblowing coding, thx dude!

[@DiomedesAlexanderVallejo-dx5tk]

This is just a really amazing video, where someone with no idea about NodeJs can start using it with such a great database manager as mysql... GREAT JOB! I am so following you!!!

[@ahndeux]

This video is awesome. I wasn't able to get the async function to work properly until I installed note 5.0.0 version.

[@cloudagnostic]

After watching the first 7:45 seconds, I’ve determine you’re the goat! 🐐

[@stellarhades9517]

Thank you so much, I couldn't find anything specific to what I am trying to do, so finding this was a godsend! Interesting ideas and ways to do this

Fantastic, to-the-point tutorial. Thank you!

[@thefirebuilds]

fantastic thank you. I got my app to work just like yours, pretty cool. Please slow down for us newbs :)

[@JesseFowlerDesigner]

Sam thank you! So informative and easy to follow. I couldn't find the mySQL install video in the description but I did figure it out. Still didn't know where you were running mySQL commands, I had to use MySQL Workbench.

[@CalebRussell-m9v]

Thanks so much for this tutorial. I am taking my first step into development and am trying to build an app for my workplace. This has been immensely helpful.

[@henokegezew924]

Sam your a genius for real I love how you make everything simple and easy to understand keep up the good work my brother

[@SamMeechWard]

Thank you 🤗

[@thequang9234]

really really nice tutorial, love that you export your query functions like that, my controllers would look so much cleaner !

[@gabexd39]

If you see this please pin it or comment and pin your comment. For anyone who gets an error at You have to write "type": "module" in package.json like he did at the beginning of the video, apparently that lets you use "await" without requring to be inside an async function. Also, async works in Express 4 as well, you don't need version 5 to use it.

[@Fishamble]

Thanks. That had me confused.

[@paulstone9755]

I want to say Thank you. I really understod the content the why you explained it.. Very Very Nice.. Thannks again.. I learned a lot

Yo, Iove your content man. You take the time to explain nuances and potential issues that may arise from certain practices such as SQL Injection. Keep up the good work, you're making a difference out here.

[@OceanWest-d7p]

Thank you for keeping it short and explaining concepts very well. I intent to use this to build on top of GraphQL

[@Raquelleist]

Amazing video, this helped so much and was very easy to follow. Thank you!

[@harumasikuchannel]

if you're having a problem with using the Promise API -> await can only be used in an asynchronous function use the module type instead to import 'mysql' -> 2:08

[@harumasikuchannel]

using common js ive tried to do require(mysql2/promise) but it still doesnt work

[@iamexrossssss9]

you're so pretty omg

[@samsorge27]

Great tutorial! I'd love to watch you build a "real world project" in this style of video, handling all the problems and going in-depth. But you probably won't have the time to make such a video(-series) right?

[@Dnt-s.]

guys, how this man can do that kind of magic on the keyboard? 18:06

[@shubhamkapoor9039]

Ctrl + D after double clicking the text you wanna put multiple cursors on
