I realized I have never done this. In an actual project, you would most likely use Express or some other framework, but I wanted to do this for learning purposes so you can see a bit of what goes on under the hood. This API can be improved (eg. creating a better router), so feel free to work on it and make a PR :) Hope you enjoy!

Your voice make me comfortable, and motivate me to listen to you even if I wouldn't 😂😂

Finally, The OG BRAD himself

This was very instructive and well done. Thank you for taking the time to put this together! Going in I knew no NodeJS at all. Still far from fluent but I am now comfortable with the basics and can easily build on what you've taught me. Thanks again!

You undoubtedly know how to push your audience towards developing real coding skills. Thank you in advance for all the hard work.

A few days ago I decided to start making a mini express clone for self challenge and learning purposes, and now I found this. Your tutorial is extremely helpful, thanks a lot!

Welcome back, Brad. You sealed the choice for me when I was trying to choose between starting web development and app development. Thanks.

Hey Brad, you are like the Ave Fenix , after 30 days of break. Now, the contents is very high level. I am still in the last sections of your Mer-Ecommerce course after 3 weeks studying 2 hours per days. It is awesome. I recommend it 100%. And now this one. Man, you have a special skill to write code. It is like poetry for those who love coding. No doubt. God Bless you.

brad, you are the person who made me love the code, I can't thank you enough

After watching your channel for a year or so, I decided to buy your js course. Worth every penny of it you helped me a ton.

Already know all this but it's a good habit of mine to come back and watch tutos of things that i already know... sometimes you find yourself lreaning new things that you missed or forgot ! Thx Brad and happy to have you again !!!!

The most difficult part was to set the post data but certainly, all this makes you understand what's under the hood of a framework. Great tutorial, I enjoyed every minute.

Purchased your MERN ecommerce course learned a lot from you thank you keep making courses.

I just learned about fetching API today and now you posted about REST API using Node.js only!!!! Thanks for always sharing Brad, I bought your new course the day it's started being sold though haven't started learning it yet since I believe I should focus more on my foundation before tackling all the trending framework.

Some serious learning that most newbies would not have bothered to learn. Thank you very much, Brad. [PBP 2021-05-25 20:48]

With all due respect and props to your contributors, they did an excellent job, it is great to see you back! I hope you are doing well and feeling good! Pace yourself, we've all been there.

List not only helped me understand REST better but Node JS in general. Thank you.

Ah! That soothing sound of information is a back, welcome back with all my heart...

There are many videos and blogs with titles 'REST API using NODE' and each one them are using Express. I wanted to learn how can I do it using Node only and I got this...Great work💕❤

this is amaing I love when people do videos which don't use libaries really shows the inner working of how the libary works

I loved this course, thank you Brad!

I have wanted to see this for a while just to be "in the know". I am doing your API Masterclass on Udemy and this tutorial outlines how cool Express is for handling all the moving parts of an API. Awesome!

One of the best tutorial I have seen, thank you for this. Plus, you have a way to speak which is very comprehensible for non-english people like me, I'm quite amazed to understand very well each word !

I work listening to Brad's voice and I sleep listening to Brad's voice 😁 It keeps me calm. It's Brad 24*7✌️

Hopefully this video means you‘re doing well. Or at least a little better than before. Thanks for all the amazing content you put out.

its so good to hear your voice brad I was really missing it :(

Thank you, great video. It took me forever to realize that my delete response body wasn't showing up because I used a 204 response code. I like the idea of using a 200 and being able to confirm the deletion.

I entered the web development world with your help Brad. Nice to hear you again bro.

love to hear your voice after the intro. ah, peace! honestly, I can't tolerate anyone else voice after the intro. love you Brad! ❤

The MERN course is dope! Thanks, Brad!

Is it Brad? omg that's an honor. We subscribed because of you, Brad, never forget this

Brad, the MVP of software engineering out here doing on youtube what most $20,000 bootcamps claim to do, but fail at. Thanks so much Brad.

hi Brad, I've really been enjoying your guest contributors, but it is great that you can still post the occasional video. Well done:)

Thanks Brad, it was a good learning curve. Enjoyed! Thanks for your time.

Thanks so much! I learned how the matching of the params work without expressjs

Amazing video, now i can move on to the node js complete course. you are a TITAN

Really interesting seeing how the req.body works under the hood, really cool Brad!

Nice to have you back....thanks for the video

I was looking exactly for this. Thank you!

I found that uuid() would occasionally create an id number that begins with a letter instead of a number. It helps to replace the '[0-9]' with '[a-z0-9]' in the three url.match conditionals in the server component

What a wonderful class, thanks Brad!

very helpful video, i always use koa framework and almost forget these basic node js. it seems like I need to review again

Incredible quality video! Good voice record and nice material! Thank you very much!

Great to see you brad back to your routine

Good to have you back again, hope you are doing well. :)

First of all, great video as always. A "quick" remark The View in MVC in the backend is not the "View - Presentation" of the results in your browser. View in MVC is the presentation of the Data to the outside world. In this case, the View is a Data-Mapper. You get data from the Database and create a "view" to send back. For example, you could create another View for a normal user (less data) and an admin (all data), or an authorized user (some data depending on authorization). Technically, not in this example, of course, The Model, should consist of a Service and a DAO (data access object). The controller gets the incoming data from the body and does validation of data and then "asks" the corresponding Service to do the task. The Service will reach out to different services (if needed, for example checking authorization, cache, external APIs, etc), prepare all the information, and then asks the DAO to get the data DAO is the data abstraction. For example, products could read data from JSON, XML, mongo, Postgres. DAO should be unified access. Let's say getProduct(id,'json'), if you want to define the source, but you could omit that. Just do getProduct(id), but hide which DB you are using. If you later want to change DB, you would just change the implementation of that function. A nice library doing that, which seems promising is prisma.io (currently only supporting SQL databases)

As someone that prefers minimal code when possible, this is most appreciated! The pacing is excellent, the sequence of how you put this together is, as well. No wasted time. It looks like you just turned on screencast recording and ‘winged’ it, is that the case?

You can't even imagine, how long I was waiting for this kind of video with vanilla Node.js. Thanks a lot, you make world a bit better :)

Completed excellent tutorial on CRUD API in Vanilla JS. Thanks, again, Brad {2021-12-16}

Man ! U always come to the rescue when i need something so badly !!

Best content on the internet xo happy that this channel exists. Ty Brad

please do more projects with pure NodeJS , no framework. there is literally nothing online except express. frameworks will change from time to time. we

I made API-s with PHP since the beginning of times but man... this was soo sweet. I have to mastering this stuff and search a new job :)

This is what I was waiting for thanks brad

i just complete all of this and i"m proud of my self xD thank you!

thank u sooooo much really worth and i made it with u step by step , it's fully functional at me

Thanks Brad, just watched an interesting video about serverless applications. Would love to hear your take on the serverless approach.

YAY, I was your 3000th like for this video! :P

I enjoyed it ,thanks . Keep up great work. Have a Happy New year .

Welcome back. we missed you!

listening to this voice made my day

daim i love this video :O was about to look it up and there you were haha!!

I followed through the entire course except for one thing. I used a regular array instead of a json file since I was using an old file from a previous tutorial. Because of this every time the server restarts all the changes made in the server got overridden and I had to start over again. Nice course, this really makes me appreciate Express.js.

I'm so happy that we have frameworks like Express. It is makes our life easier

I've just got into backend web development (I'm an extreme newbie) and I've been searching to hell and back for this specific topic to no avail. I did a lot of reading and didn't want to learn a new language like Ruby and then Rails so this is such a blessing I can't even begin to describe. Thank you.

Awesome stuff Brad!

Yes !, finally our savior is back. Thank you Brad !, I hope you're great.

Awesome video, very well explained. Thank you

Just when I needed such video!

Nice video. To get params from urls, an easier way is to use the in-built url package in node.js

After working with express for a while now I was still confused what's really happening under the hood. God bless you Brad🙂👍 #respect Love from India🙏

Thanks man! Good to see you!

thanks for creating a beautiful content. and I happy to let you know that I completed it.

Thx for this nice video. It brings me a lot because it is real know how and not only a framework configuration ;)

glad to see you back.

Hi Brad Ive learned a lot from you this past 4years ive been watching your tutorials, will you please make a crash course of laravel 8 that will be much appreciated
