In this video, we will learn how we can make a complete rest API in NestJS using typescript and MongoDB. We will take a look at the NestJs folder structure and learn about what are modules controllers and services in NestJS.
We will also learn about schemas and also what are data transfer objects or dto's. We will create a library API in which we will create book module and perform all CRUD operations in that.

Abbas you are an excellent teacher.
This video could've been longer though, for a beginner.

You can watch next part of this series. It's a complete playlist.

Great tutorial and you are a super intelligent developer.

[@abdulwaris5496]

Amazing content and your English is helpful for non-natives!!

[@mr_ahmad_70]

Thank You So Much Sir I was very scared of OOPS bcz my background was of express js and functional only not the classes, thanks to your explanation, now I can do a crud. It would be great if you make a video on Authentication as well

It is an informative video, thank you.

[@kukuster]

NOTE: at minute 9 you will not actually have a successful connection to a database (called "library-next-api" in this case) like on the video, unless you already created it beforehand. But! The database will be created automatically later when you insert a first record

[@aryanddaga]

how do I do that?

[@kukuster]

​@@aryanddaga you can start mongoDB CLI by executing `mongo` in the terminal, then write `use ` inside. This will create an empty db. But the point of what I wrote is that you can ignore that error, because in the following steps you'll execute something that inserts the first record successfully and it'll automatically create the database for you

Great video

very good content, GJ

[@brortiz]

Hey Abbas, thanks a lot for the tutorial. I just got one little issue, on the PUT request I don't get any response in Postman, the other ones work great (findAll, findById, createBook, etc). I made sure I got the correct ID and also even tested with your own cloned version. Anyone else with the same problem?

[@codingwithabbas]

You are getting blank response. Is document in DB updated?

[@jayb2128]

Really like this, but when listening through headphones that subscribe sound that happens every so often is very frustrating.

[@codingwithabbas]

Thanks for your feedback. I am not adding that in new videos.

[@Khalil.WebDev]

Hello Abbas,
I like the way you teach, explain and code in practice. I tried to Enroll to your NestJS course on Udemy but it seems that your course is not included in the Udemy Business content collections.

[@codingwithabbas]

Udemy Business collections is managed by Udemy, this course in not yet present in Udemy for Business, I have 2 other Node.js courses in this collection.

[@矢沢直輝-f7q]

Thank you for the excellent content.
It might be beneficial to add the following code to the findById, updateById, and deleteById methods in src/book/book.service.ts:
```
if (!mongoose.isValidObjectId(id)) {
throw new BadRequestException('Invalid ID');
}
```
