Node.js Crash Course Tutorial #11 - Express Router & MVC

[@mikeandrewfernandez9797]

What a frustrating yet awesome journey! It's already 2023 and still relevant. After 1 week of following the tutorial I was able to learn Mongo DB, the concept of Servers, MVC's, and Mongoose. I am now confident to take these new backend learnings into higher levels. Thank you so much, Net Ninja!

[@howTo_79]

probably the best tuitorial on YT it is just missing the REST API part

[@johnconnor9787]

The best MVC explanation ever. You come to this concept so gradually, that in the end every piece of a puzzle clicks in the head and the whole picture appears so logical. Thank you, Shaun

[@shansiddiqui4741]

Are you the same John Connor from the Terminator ? The one who will lead the resistance and save us from extinction ?

[@DavidEzequielPerez]

absolutely agree, thank you for this explanation!

[@mrsevensin438]

Just for the people who need it. If you move somewhere else during development and connect to new network, your IP will change. With this setup, your cluster remembers only the one you created it with, so you need to add the current one for the app to work. Otherwise, your app wont start with this message "clean exit - waiting for changes before restart" and this ERROR "MongooseServerSelectionError". And for you Ninja, I did not believe that you can make tutorials with such a grace. You are greaat teacher to listen to, explaining concepts in exact depth the newbie needs. Thank you very much, my favourite channel so far. Hello from Odin Project student as well :).

[@bryanbandela]

This video is definitely the climax of this playlist. No one has ever explained MVC like you have done it here, it was masterfully put together like a magician or should I say like a Ninja. I wish you had more courses on Udemy to show you more supports. May God bless you for what you do for the community.

[@jordanski5421]

This is the first time I'm actively following a design pattern in one of my own projects and the examples you give here are exactly what I needed to fully understand the concept of not just MVC but design patterns in general. Thank you for that.

[@HumbleShoeLace]

This has been a very awesome series !! went from zero to creating an entire application within just a few video !!

Fantastic explanation. I love how you start with simple/straightforward/messy and then you move on to elegant/organized/modular.

Had this issue with the last lesson 6:12 with the create method quite happy I managed to engineer it to work myself with no guidance yay me. Made me realise the importance of the order code must be laid out

[@devrano48]

It took 1 week to finish, i studied every second of this series. Feel like i learned node finally.

[@raz0229]

Same here, although I was familiar with Node before but those Udemy courses were only self-promotions and you actually had to purchase the full course even though the concepts weren't clear. I really appreciate and thank _The Net Ninja_ for such high-quality videos right here on YT.

Keep working guys now i'm about to create twitter clone :) Especially REST api is so important.

I hadn't been able to find run into the exact same problem until now. The smallest things are the most frustrating. Everything is running golden now :)

[@ripinsurreality5978]

Awesome tutorial! Unfortunately, it sometimes happens to me that I make a tiny mistake and then spend hours trying to fix it, finding that the cause of this was my inattentiveness. So, if anyone's having a problem of the styles not loading on all the pages, that start with /blog/, you probably forgot to put / before styles.css in your head.ejs, which should be href="/styles.css" instead of href="style.css"

[@cheesecurls7]

Literally had the same problem and it was so frustrating! Definitely will remember to put the leading / in there now though lol

[@erfanahmed_official]

at 7:04 why it goes to `/blog/:id` instead of `/blog/create`? these are completely two separate and different routes! why should it maintain an order? If this is how it works then moving the /create to the top won't cause same issue when one hits /:id url ?

[@fredpourlesintimes]

Really cool chapter. Finally, we have a clear/comprehensible explanation of MVC. I'm just wondering why we didn't keep a default "index" page, separeted of the blog's one.

Best video to learn MVC with node.js

[@NetNinja]

Thanks for watching!

[@yumyum7196]

This is my first time learning node, back end and MVC. First off, superb course in so many ways (content, to the point, duration, example etc.). I do have one question, I am intrigued how the models are derived from the database schemas. Coming into this, I had this idea in my head that you defined your JavaScript classes somewhere in your models directory and then somehow exported this to the database. There's a project I've been building in my head as I've been watching this course and that is how I thought one would normally go about it, but it seems it is the other way around (define Schemas in DB first, then from there define your objects/classes for your logic). I don't know if anybody could provide some thoughts about this. Again, superb course, thank you so much for everything :D

[@Pareshbpatel]

An excellent demonstration of how to use the MVC pattern. Thanks, Shaun {2021-09-13}, {2022-07-14}, {2022-11-01}, {2023-02-17}

[@eff_gee321]

i have a question: what does this middleware do: app.use((req, res, next) => { res.locals.path = req.path; next(); });

[@technologyexplained]

Thank you. What an amazing course. I had lost the confidence in programming in general, but this course really helped me understand the backend concepts and get better. I do have one question though: The MVC stuff which was taught here, when I do personal projects, should I implement this while setting up the files, when I feel the project is getting clunky, or when the project is finished? What is the best time?

[@supun_sandaruwan]

Great tutorial sir 🧡🧡🧡

[@robertp3596]

Personally I prefer to import my route in my use. Example: app.use("/blog", require("./routes/blog")); and it does a direct import without needing another variable.

[@shadmanmartinpiyal4057]

yeah me too.... i think it is cleaner,

[@JoeMcBroom]

I like that - though it won't work quite like that if using Modules and Import statements

[@nicholassattaur9964]

Very great and informative tutorial!

[@codingstuff8305]

Hi, very good explanations. Just for information, in an API way the standards name for your methods that you have created are "index, create, store, show, edit, update and delete" instead of blog_index, blog_create_post, etc...

[@muhammadahadaminul9529]

Awesome tutorial.

[@andromilk2634]

There was something about controllers which I was wondering : you say they act as a middleman between the model and the view, but is it necessarily the case that every handler function is acting this way and always touching the two? For example, the delete controller function is neither touching the model (unless you consider the database part of the model as well?) neither sending data to the view for a render, it is instead interacting with the database. Is my interpretation correct on this matter or did I not follow correctly? Thanks

[@LumbreraEnMiCamino]

Thanks a lot my friend, I wonder if you can teach us now how to apply the MVVM ?

[@ambientsoda106]

But what if you want each blog to link to a page uses comment on? How you you dynamically create the page, with creating a threads folders full of predefined pages with partials on them?

[@zhangandy1174]

very informative, thank you for the sharing!

[@adventurer2395]

Interesting, I like how you made the controller agnostic/loosely coupled from express. However, it's still tightly coupled to the model and mongo, as model implementation details are happening inside . There could be additional layer of abstraction in the controller to be model/db agnostic.

[@bryanDaMazo16]

I noticed the same thing. I think it is not MVC yet since it is violating that principle. For example, migrating to a different database will imply refactoring the controller module. (Violating the MVC pattern). Also, testing will lead to writing exhaustive integration tests (due to IO). This video is a good reference for why it is important to separate the different layers to test efficiently and effectively; significantly reducing integration testing. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJmpkmeqoKuIfNk
