MERN Crash Course | JWT Authentication, Redux Toolkit, Deployment & More

[@TraversyMedia]

I mention it in the video, but I know people are going to ask "why not use Next.js"? Imo I think people should first learn how to build SPAs before moving to SSR-based frameworks. I think it gives them a lot of good foundational knowledge in React. Once they gain that, then move on to SSR (Next.js, Remix, etc).

[@zunnoorainrafi5985]

This tutorial is nice but the way you did authentication in your project of Support ticket System in React front to back course on udemy is more easy then this .

[@alwaysgrowww]

Yeah I thought the same "why not nextjs" but without react there is no next

[@mohamedjaffir2776]

@@zunnoorainrafi5985 I’m also feel the same, support ticket method is much easier than above method

Almost 3 years into my career and still love coming back to videos / tutorials like there. You are very senior and have lots of knowledge, and I always learn something new / remember things I forgot / don't use much these days (due to different work projects). Another solid, well structured video! Thanks Brad, hope you are doing good with your mental and physical health - that burnout was very real.

Hello Brad, I have watched a few React videos/courses(partially). But watching this video I got confidence and took a project for $2k USD. Thank you very much.

One of the most soothing tutorial I have ever seen. No confusion just straightforward. The guide on web is amazing

Love the way you approach things and build things up piece by piece, so it's easy to follow how an app develops over time. Thank you!

Thank Brad so much for this mearn auth video, I am learning backend nodejs and express and still need to solidify the knowledge in backend mern.

[@codersdance]

Out of all the others on KZbin this was Amazingly Great. You and Dave Gray present difficult things look so easy. You should do this with TypeScript as soon as possible. My backend is in TypeScript and now converting it to JavaScript to implement the authentication you taught us here because there are some type issues like for req.user and few others. Please do this in TS. Thanks!

[@notsure180]

I think I made a comment a few days ago about Network Errors using either axios or node fetch to express apis. I used ngrok on the react app client side and not express, and I got network errors. However, if you fire up ngrok on the express port, the network error goes away (at least on android). I watched another coding instructor do this, and it did work.

[@notsure180]

The network error only happened when i scanned that qr code on expo go while trying to access the express routes on android/ios (even though no network errors were present in android studio or xcode many times). Axios would call external apis good on the react client side though. ngrok was not needed for that for me. this may help someone. I fought with this for a while.

[@Tboy_ty]

I am looking forward to your tutorial written in Typescript

[@khoroshoigra8388]

[@techaddictdude]

29:30 Hey Brad, I didn't understand the custom error middleware part. How is express handling and catching the error when you have not even defined the error types? For example why error goes directly into the errorHandler function when the notFound was defined first?

[@bloggerayush8550]

yes bro, even I am having the same confusion

Hello brad, after this, can you make tutorial of same topic but this time use next 13 + prisma or mongoose . So it will give better understanding for diff tech stack ( without or with next-auth)

[@quamzgraphix9826]

We miss you Brad 😊hope you’re doing well?🎉

[@akdrive1050]

Questions (updateUserProfile API): 1) Why check if user exists (findById) if its a protected API anyway? (auth Middleware does check if user exists by Id and returns a user if authenticated). 2) When changing the password, it doesn't seem like you hash the password with bcrypt, you save is directly from the body input, am I missing something?

[@merakli2022]

Hi Brad, thank you for your time and effort making these great videos. I wonder why all tutorials use mongoose rather than native mongo db driver. Is mongoose really better? Thanks again.

[@danztee]

Mongoose makes it easier

So helpful tips in making methods and using pre (save) or (validate) in mongodb schema. Do you have a crash course on making oracle database? 😊

[@joeprince7509]

Great tutorial as always Brad! I can't quite follow why the userID is stored in the jwt cookie with httpOnly AND in local storage. What is the reason it's also in local storage? I would think having the userID in the secure cookie would suffice, but maybe I'm not quite following why it's also in local storage. And depending on the answer to that, would Redux Persist be a more suitable option for storing that information instead? Additionally, is userID considered "sensitive" information in this case?

Have a question that concerned me for a long time; If someone choose to become a full stack developer; and decide to work for himself, online, maybe we call it freelancing or a contract job, my question is; can he do it alone? can you do the entire web development process alone? if yes, how? if not, how he can manage a small team? thank you for your videos.

@1:35:32 I went looking and found you can name the outputs from concurrently (the [0] [1]'s you see at the start of each line. add this before the commads: (hyphen)n \"C..,..S\" (I had to use (hyphen) instead of the character, else the comment inteprets it as a strikethrough markup here, and those are 2 periods, a comma and 2 more periods between the C & S) I do C.. and ..S, so when they scroll not only are they showing C(lient) and (S)erver, the letters are in different colums for easier distinction.

[@MaycoBarale]

Ey Brad, Akamai is rejecting the account creation due to "fraudulent behavior" , it would be better if they say something like "We don't want to create new accounts with this promo code". What is your opinion about that? Do you recommend another service to deploy this kind of application? By the way, this approach was amazing
