Hi Maximilian, thank you for all the knowledge you have being pouring out. This is the second programming language I will be learning with your materials. The first one was from Udemy and I really enjoyed it. Talking of PHP, I'll like to ask if you have a PHP course for building Restful APIs. If yes, please share the link as I've looked around for it and can't find it. If no, do you have plans of making one soon?

Hi Maximilian, thank you for the informative video on creating a REST API with Node.js. I found your explanations and step-by-step process really helpful. I noticed that you used pure JavaScript for your backend application. I was wondering what your thoughts were on using TypeScript instead. TypeScript has some great benefits like static typing and improved code maintainability. Was there a specific reason why you chose not to use TypeScript in this particular project? I'd love to hear your perspective on this. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge through these videos!

Max, did you think of using babel-watch inside the project? It allows using 'import' style syntax as well as all new but yet unsupported features of ES 2017

@academind 6 років тому

I considered a more complex setup but decided against it to keep the project/videos focused on the core of the series, which of course is building the RESTful API itself

@michaelrandall6954 3 роки тому

Hello Max, I see that you are running this, I assume on a local machine. How would I deploy this to an azure resource. I have limited access to azure resources, but I was thinking that I could create a ubuntu linux vm and would I install apache and then bundle this code and put it in the http directory or would I install node on the linux box and then not sure of my options.

What is that package-lock file when you add express? (min 5:24 aprox)

@MrEffg 6 років тому

package-lock.json is automatically generated for any operations where npm modifies either the node_modules tree, or package.json . It describes the exact tree that was generated, such that subsequent installs are able to generate identical trees, regardless of intermediate dependency updates. (c) npm documentation

I use RESTFUL APIs on mobile apps but never ever built a restful server. I am learning from you. Also following your tip and learning Vue . I have a question: I'm having trouble in memorizing all the different programming languages syntax . I do C for micro controllers, swift for iOS, now javascript, including css html. How do you do it? what is your trick? Thank you Max.

@mq101t 6 років тому

thanks for this video is so cool,but way you make a server in native node and don't use express "app.listen(port ,function () { console.log('listening at ' + port); })" it just question ? and thanks again :)

@jakubrpawlowski 6 років тому

I always wondered about the same thing when watching last two express series on this channel. Why not just app.listen Max?

@academind 6 років тому

Simply a habit - you can use both, that's absolutely true

@jakubrpawlowski 6 років тому

Thanks for a quick reply as always! Do you ever REST? :P

@Andrey-il8rh 6 років тому

Not really an efficient habit, though. I agree with other guys that this pattern feels odd

@jakubrpawlowski 6 років тому

Andrey Bogdanov actually I realized that if you want to have http, https and websockets all using one connection then you need to do it the http.createserver way :p

@kurtke1990 5 років тому

Does anyone know what is difference using app.listen(port) and using http to create a server and listen to the port ?

@suryachaturvedi5036 4 роки тому

not working. server is running but not showing on local host

@shyarxelil1987 4 роки тому

Why dont you use express instead of using http module? For example you could just like so: const express = require('express') const app = express() const port = 3000 app.get('/', (req, res) => res.send('Hello World!')) app.listen(port, () => console.log(`Example app listening on port ${port}!`))

@akapoolka8325 6 років тому

Why can we omit file extension at 11:01? We don't use web pack, which as you, Max, have explained in React course on Udemy, handles the file extensions, including .js and .jsx files. Did you I misunderstand you?

@20cmusic 6 років тому

'require' is one of the core functions of node.js. If there is no file extension, require function automatically add '.js' at the end of the parameter.

@ivan89pln 4 роки тому

Hello, nice video but i only dont understand why you start the app using pure nodejs code instead of expressjs ? Is there any reason for that ?

how to use single node js api for mobile app(android/ios) and web(template engine) both?

@redtech9204 5 років тому

RESTful api is what is used for both as it recieves and sends data only. It doesn't care about the clients or what the client see's such as html styled with css, or the document object model. It only cares about the data that's sent and recieved.

@redtech9204 5 років тому

It's not necessarily node.js but the api you create if that makes sense.
