Nest.js Tutorial for Beginners

[@andresbreuer]

Dave!! You´ve heard my prayers!!! This is going to be AWESOME!!! Always gratefull of your work and dedication. God bless you!

[@stereoboiiii]

What I like is that as soon as I start learning a new technology, there are tutorials on your channel that really help me understand the basics and lots of interesting things, which accelerates my learning. Thank you very much, Dave, you make excellent educational videos. Thank you again for your work.

[@ramziricardo4259]

This is going to be AWESOME! I hope you will make a Fullstack Tuto in the future where you combine ( Nest js + Next js) !

[@asadmehboob1300]

yes right

[@AmazedAkai]

Yessss, we need that

[@magnacarta7045]

why? You literally just need to call a NestJS endpoint on your NextJS client and that's it

[@alirabiei2344]

your channel is becoming the go to place for web devs of all levels, nice stuff 🔥🔥

[@xenos112]

Oh man , Dave makes you learn any thing to create your dream website , thanks Dave for every thing

[@Lykkos-321]

I just got a job as a fullstack but this time I have to do with nestjs and your series helped me a lot!!! thanks so much for this!!

Amazing Tutorial Mr. Dave. This tutorial series is one hell of a gem on KZbin.

[@UwU-dx5hu]

oh my gooooooooood!!!!! i was literally waiting for something like this!!!! I was going from one channel to another channel in search of a good nestjs course. And you just ,you just, you just......love you sensei

[@programingtales7514]

This is very cool!! When I saw the title from Dave's channel, I was very happy ❤ I hope the Tutorial covers socketio and advanced topics using nestjs. Thank you very much Mr Dave ,You are very awesome , the best on KZbin 💥

[@babayaga6172]

Now i am going to add Nestjs to my Resume ❤

[@ghulammujtaba9236]

This is simply amazing. I wanted to learn nest js and explore the backend once again. Thank you man. Kindly make this a detailed series with a project exploring the ins and out of the nest js.

[@SniperKillerARG]

Yesterday i was talking with friends about we would like a course of nest and here it is. THANK YOU

[@davithchhung7577]

I can't believe that make this series. I have been using this framework for a while. I can't wait to learn from yours.

[@sarrthecode]

Hi Dave using the ideas that you exposed on your nodejs course i implemented complete authentication and authorization from front to back using nestjs, react, secure cookies and jwt. Thanks for your teaching you are the best.

[@DaveGrayTeachesCode]

You're welcome! 💯

[@jaycodes8790]

Waiting for so long to have a video on NestJs from you.... ❤️❤️❤️ Thanks Dave

[@publish-ittravel3367]

I am really excited to learn nest from you. Thanks a lot.

[@lindelwapani7836]

Thank you so much Dave, I've learned everything I know about web development from you and your videos are amazing. I was hoping to see a video about integrating nextjs and nestjs as well.

[@chinonsoojoechem]

Dave, you read my heart. This came at the right time. God bless you

[@lopo889]

No way!!!!! I'll be waiting for your guards explanation

[@dimitmoto1716]

Man thank you very very much! God bless you! There are no many good resources for Nest.js and we use this framework in my company. Please include also testing in this series.

[@maccodifavole]

Dave I've got to say I am VERY grateful you made this tutorial! I am loving this Nest.js course and the framework itself too. I finally found my backend framework to make me a fullstack developer! Thank you so much Dave 🙏

[@erfan5875]

Can't wait to see the next part. Thanks for your efforts Mr. Gray

[@codewithguillaume]

AMAZING! Thanks DAVE !

[@mohitcodeswell]

I've been working with NestJS for half a year, and my perspective is that it essentially serves as an opinionated and class-based wrapper around Express.js. Creating a custom wrapper on top of Express can also be efficient and effective. Some surveys suggest that Nest might have performance considerations, but regardless, it remains a solid and scalable choice for backend development.

[@juhandvan]

Thank you so much! I've been looking forward to this tutorial for a really long time.

[@sujayxaradhya]

Finally! My wait is over. Thank you Dave🙏

[@yacine5046]

the best teacher will explain the best framework

[@yourcasualdeveloper]

Dave... Sometimes I think you are secretly watching me. Because whenever I need to learn something, you are making a tutorial for it. 👌

[@Khalil.WebDev]

Expecting this from Dave. I love working with NestJs because its fast and easy in development

[@belkocik]

What a timing! I've recently started learning Nest.js! Nice!

[@pituboy]

Thanks for the Nest.js Tutorial, I love your JavaScript tutorials so much.

[@VK-sn3sn]

Please bring tutorials fast. You explain brilliantly

[@varileshtlesht7091]

Thank you for your amazing courses Dave. I've been your follower since you had 10k and I've learned a lot from those. please after Nestjs course can you also include a Angular course or a full stack Nest+Angular course it would be great. thank you again.

[@obiaboimmanuel8729]

Thanks alot Dave. God bless you for this

[@ewaevva4375]

Been waiting for this course, thanks so much Dave 🤩

[@farhanshakil-k6b]

some quality stuff on youtube. Keep it up man.

[@iUmerFarooq]

Cover every topic of Nestjs In depth. Thank you.

[@umman000]

Thanks for this series. I hope this series will be more huge and long

[@3minutesbibletruth]

This is the course I have been looking for thank u very much

[@ScriptRaccoon]

Good tutorial! I already learned about the basics of Nest.js, but I never understood so far why one would want to use this as compared to Express. For me, this feels like Angular: very overengineered for simple applications (such as the one we get with the starter template) and quite complicated. But I assume that this is the right approach for big and complex applications. Having said this, I would be very happy if your tutorial series will answer the question "why Nest.js?" (not just how the syntax looks like) and maybe even demonstrates this with a complex application to see the benefits in action.

[@Егор-д3у4с]

Всё круто👍🏻. Ждём микросервисы! А ещё next js + nest js

[@Ta9i]

im already familliar with nest and use it every day but im gonna follow the course

[@matinsasan]

That tip at the end meant a lot, as I tend to be a perfectionist. Thanks, mentor :)

[@abdullahiahmed6785]

Same here, i always smile when he gave that tip at the end of the video. one of the best tutor i came across in online space

[@TheOsama651]

Was waiting for you to do it. Thanks

[@bugraotken]

As a front-end developer I really love how Nest.js works, runs and makes backends really easy. So sometimes I create backend projects with it just to feel happy =) But the downside is it's speed comparisons are %10 slower than regular Express. But I don't care, very robust framework! Thank you Dave

[@FredBCavalheiro]

Excellent content. I am from brazil and I learn a lot with your videos. Thanks.

[@ja909]

Looking forward to this series. It would be great if you could compare the use case for nestjs vs Nextjs API routes and Nextjs server actions, e.g. why use nestjs in addition to nextjs?

[@DaveGrayTeachesCode]

I won't compare in this series, but quickly, I view Next.js routes as a way for client components to use an API relay. Server components can request directly from the data source. Nest.js (and / or Node + Express) offer more in terms of building a full featured REST API in my opinion. Maybe Next.js will get there at some point.

[@bugraotken]

By the way I don't know if Dave will mention about it but instead of creating all resource files (modules, services, controllers..) one by one, you can just type "nest g res [NAME]" and under [NAME] folder you provided, it creates all files there. "res" in the cli command stands for "resource". And in addition you can add --no-spec flag to this code and it stops creating test spec files. CLI asks you the type of endpoint, just choose REST and when it asks you to create CRUD files, choose no. (btw you can choose yes and see how nest.js is great for you! =)))

[@DaveGrayTeachesCode]

All true, and I will get there. Too much at once for most just starting with Nest though. I'll bring it in one at a time for now.

[@angelhdzdev]

And to avoid having to add `--no-spec` flag for every generated item, add `spec: false` under `generateOptions` in the `nest-cli.json`.

[@sashaBejenari]

Thanks! I learned a lot from your channel.

[@zhjrcc]

Thank you very much for your course!

[@williamcao5139]

great work, Nestjs is the best nodejs backend framework

[@parmetra]

I was just looking for the right course and then I saw your video, Dave! I really hope that in your series of NestJS videos, you will use one of the ORMs: Drizzle or Kysely. Thank you!

[@bugraotken]

Prisma

[@parmetra]

@@bugraotken I've heard that Prisma is heavier but more popular. However, there is already more than one video on KZbin about integrating Prisma into NestJS. What can't be said about Drizzle ORM or Kysely ... 😔

[@bugraotken]

​@@parmetra In every Nest.js video I have watched and finished, they were using Prisma as the ORM. There is also TypeORM but everyone was complaining about it cause they made a huge update and the previous codes was not compatible with the new codes. I have heard about Drizzle but haven't used it.

[@simonchao3482]

Good lesson, like it! The file structure seems like Angular but the logic seems like Java.

[@biLLie_wiLLie]

I waited for it for a long time. This is very attractive. I expect it will be better and last longer then course of Net ninja

Hello Dave, I dont know anything about programing, can i start with this??

[@DaveGrayTeachesCode]

No, I suggest following my Web Dev Roadmap linked in the description of the video.

[@Sakuragi4]

Thank you so much Mr. Dave@@DaveGrayTeachesCode

[@NiwatiX]

In all honesty I thought it was a typo for Next... im very suprised and i like this framework

[@azharmahmood624]

This is another excellent video Dave, my question is that if NextJs is providing client & server side features, then why we need to learn NestJs. We should go for NextJs as it has complete package for both client end and server end. this is what I know according to my limited knowledge. if there is any more features please share.

[@DaveGrayTeachesCode]

There will always be multiple languages and frameworks used to achieve the same outcomes. Many times, the choice is preference. Currently, I do believe NestJS offers much more for robust backend REST API construction.

[@ccsu1740]

Urgent updates, looking forward to updates👀

[@FreeFire-j6p6t]

what's your theme used for folders and file ?

[@musicord3132]

I hope you include web sockets! in this series

[@BirushaNdegeya]

Thanks for the video

[@dipanshusabharwal]

Thank you Dave.

[@LodeStarYT]

Hey Dave! I was wondering if NestJS is worth using with NextJS 13+ because of all the server side rendering and do we even need API end points

[@DaveGrayTeachesCode]

Like most answers.. it depends on the project requirements. You could need a robust backend REST API and NestJS is great for a large, scalable solution.

[@lokeshshots8860]

Hi Dave how can I add thunder client to the vs code tab like you🥺

[@DaveGrayTeachesCode]

It was added automatically for me when I installed the extension. Right click the activity bar and see if it provides an option to show ThunderClient.

[@3minutesbibletruth]

I hope u will be using Prisma as well

[@codedusting]

This looks exact replica of Angular but for the Backend.

[@MOJICA7257]

Thanks Dave Cheers🎉🎉🎉🎉

What is the name of the font you are using in Vscode? I tried finding it but had no luck. 😅

I show my font choices here: kzbin.infof1HVI5slxms

[@dev_franqqi]

Thanks Dave

[@ankur14]

Hi Dave, what's your thought on nextjs 14, and is the course still good to go with as there are not many changes in the update?

[@DaveGrayTeachesCode]

It's early for me to know much but I saw a tweet that said "No new APIs".. Sounds like it will simply build on what we've learned with 13.

[@kimayapanash8998]

I think of learning something and you put out a tutorial for it 😅

[@narenk8077]

Hi Dave, already next.js done earlier right, what is difference this one?

[@DaveGrayTeachesCode]

A quick watch of the first few minutes will tell you the different between _Nest_ and _Next_ .

[@vegito9532]

Hello Sir, can you give some tips and instructions on how to learn new technologies, programming languages or anything as efficiently as possible.

[@DaveGrayTeachesCode]

Learn just a little bit more every day. Stay consistent. It adds up.

[@JonBrookes]

Fantastic !

[@olymahmud9909]

Thanks ❤

[@bishop2121212121]

Hi, I was wondering, could we use the command "nest g resource [name]"?

[@DaveGrayTeachesCode]

Yes, that creates everything all at once. I will mention later, but that is creating too much at once for now. I want to step through each part.

[@rorn-dev]

Haha finally my work place framework tool is come .

[@Shubham-h1z]

Can you suggest some good blogs to follow? Also, any plans to continue your blog? Thanks.

[@DaveGrayTeachesCode]

Near the top of my list is building a new blog. 🚀 I don't have other specific blogs I follow. I read things from all over. Just depends what I am searching for.

[@alexanderkomanov4151]

Lovely!

[@AzizbekAliyev-ef2xo]

Hello Dave! I have question for you. I know HTML,CSS,JavaScript and ReactJs. I also want to learn Backend Programming. So is Python Django better or Nodjs

[@DaveGrayTeachesCode]

I can't say one is better than the other. That said, if you don't know Python yet, it might be easier to learn Node.js since you are familiar with JS.

[@AzizbekAliyev-ef2xo]

Thanks for your reply Dave@@DaveGrayTeachesCode

[@sokchamrernheng4216]

Hello Dave, Does this series include microservice?

[@DaveGrayTeachesCode]

No, I might do that in a separate series.

[@treedigital346]

what about Angular2 are you mapping a course

[@DaveGrayTeachesCode]

Not at this time, but maybe someday 😀

[@GabrielMartinez-ez9ue]

So nest is basically a Rails alternative for node?

[@DaveGrayTeachesCode]

It is a Node.js framework so it works on top of Node - not as an alternative.

[@GabrielMartinez-ez9ue]

​@@DaveGrayTeachesCodeoh sorry, i wrote it wrong. I meant an alternative to Rails if you are a Node dev.

[@philippearras8154]

Thanks a lot
