So for full 3 years, I was procrastinating learning Backend, and finally I saw this and thought to give it a try, I loved it, in just a weekend, I got the basic idea of how the backend works, I am going to buy a full course, and develop MERN applications, Thank you Brad! you are great
I don't work with Node and don't have any plans to. However, I still watched the whole video just because 1) your effort; 2) your skills; 3) I always learn something from you - in this case, one of the things was the Postman extension. Sure I learned a bunch of other little cool stuff. During the video, I couldn't escape thinking about what drives you into making these videos with such a level of care. Amazing. Thanks a lot.
Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. Its crazy how much express cuts down on the boiler plate code. I went along with your Node.js video with the switch case etc to serve files which worked out to being around 55 lines of code, express accomplished the same functionalities in 7 lines.
Oh my GOD.... you dare you to be so amazing!!!. I took NodeJs Crash course.. and made a whole scraper for 5 to 6 websites... which takes data using "RAW NODE JS" .. without express, it was hell of work. But I really like working from the scratch, so I really enjoyed. Now, this expressJS is super sweet to me.. I have been pausing the video before any new thing.. try it myself and then let the video play.. really loving it. ❤
Brad, your work is a gift for many aspiring and experienced developers alike. Thank you for all your hard work and for all that you give free of charge! I've had the benefit of several educators, such as yourself, and excellent resources like this over the years. That I am software engineer today has been made possible, in part, because of things like this. Keep up the good work!
You're the OG of RUclips web tutorials. I'm a fan of your style of videos. Looking forward to what I assume will be a revamped Mongo crash course soon.
Despite being a Senior DevOps Software Engineer, I always learn something new when Brad teaches. This crash course encapsulates the nuances of building an API, even if it’s a multi-billion dollar API. It all boils down to this basic concept. Thank you, Brad ❤
Quite new to your work and channel and currently operating a career switch to web dev. This content and the Node.js crash course are perfect! It is kind of overwhelming but hopefully after applying what I've learned here to my school project, I will understand it better. Thank you so much for such high quality and well delivered content! 🙏
Hi Brad, loving your tutorials this year, especially on React, Node.js, and Express.js! I've been following along and was wondering if you could consider doing a series on MongoDB next. It would be awesome to see how we can integrate it with these technologies for a full MERN stack project!
Im trying to code along with this video, but at 36:00, I am getting this error whenever the req url is set to /posts/not-in-posts: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading: 'id') Has anyone got the same thing and have a fix for this?
Oops, I figured out my issue... When I had hardcoded the posts array, I copied and pasted the json, but unbeknownst to me, there were extra commas between the objects.
Dear Brad, I am one of your subscribers and always find new things to learn whenever I watch you. I was wondering if there is a chance to make a website using javascript as a front-end and expressJS as a backend and it will be lovely if you can make it with authentication and sessions. I hope to see that courses coming up because you are among the best that can deliver information... Best regards
Hey Brad, Codeium is exactly following your tutorial. When you mistakenly used ES modules instead of CommonJS, the Codeium first generated the export default posts; and then it changed it into module.exports = router; 🤣🤣
brad. Thank you for the video. Please do complete mern course. React, Node and Express. I will be looking forward to MongoDB course. Nextjs course too. Again thank you for these videos.
Hey Brad, pretty informative course, thank you. Wanted to ask about watching. --watch is not working on virtual environments such as vagrant (at least I could not make it working). I ended up using nodemon with polling. Maybe you have tested this feature with such environments?
I worked with Express but got so tired of having to work for hours setup basic stuff like login/logout/forget password and so on, so I moved to the more active in development complete framework, Laravel, and it's working great!
I noticed some things that I had to change to make my version of following this tutorial work. 1. ENV If you're using node version below v20, you might notice that adding the env to the package.json doesn't work. i.e the `start: node --env-file=.env server.js`. Just iinstall and import the dotenv npm module. 2. `req.body` returning undefined If you noticed that req.body is coming back as undefined, you need to add this line to your server.js "app.use(express.json());" just above your routes declaration. I'll be adding more.
Remember: (i was having issue with post data, which was not posting). Always use middleware i.e. -------> app.use(express.json()); -------> app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: false })) before routes //Route's definition. -------> app.use('/api/posts', posts);
@brad can you please share the github repository for the express-crash so that we can take a reference since your repository has old file and the github link which you shared for express-crash is not working.
Coming from the Laravel world, this feels like a huge downgrade, but this video is simply amazing for anyone looking to learn Express. Having knowledge in Laravel/Java made it easy for me to grasp the concepts. Thanks, mate
I am very old subscriber of this channel and I remember the guy who was too young. But it has now been a long time that I haven't seen him. Where is he?
I just connected to a different network and whenever I make requests using Postman I am getting an Error: Invalid IP address: undefined. Can anyone help me? I am totally new to this.
thanks for the video, its very good for the beginners.. i have a request, can you make a beginner friendly video on Clean Code ? about repositiory pattern ? I mean how can we implement to our Backend Typescript project ? I have watched other videoes but couldnt understand a bit.. since you are very good in teaching may be you can help ?
Wow! I understood basically everything in your video. Thank you so much! also I have a question regarding the es module __dirname. Now in the video you used a work around method to solve this, but after Node version 20.11.0 the __dirname can be used with import.meta.__dirname or import.meta.__filename. Is this the same thing? Edit: Figured it out. const __dirname = import.meta.dirname works. for file name it is import.meta.filename
Please make a video on auto generating swagger docs for express, i tried it but i was not able to give any custom tags for the swagger docs , video on that would be helpful

i was writing backend for few months without understanding and was procasting and now things are much clear

Pls i really want to ask a question since you have watched the full course, did he talk about JWT for authentication and authorization

I can not believe how much useful stuff he covered in just 1:45 even template engines. without using express-generator

The GOAT for long form programing courses
I just want to express my thanks for your hard work! Looking forward to watching this.
Ha. Express. Get it?
@@lachieyoung1374 fine fine you're cool 😂
This videos coming out right when I'm learning React and Node.js/Express feels like it's heaven-sent!

I wish I could get better at programming. No one ever has the right answer
@@the000gamer96there's almost always more than one right answer
Every single concept is explained nicely and easily. Loved it to the moon and back ❤
Thanks for this great combo of a refresher and important pointers.
thanks for this man! needed the as i’ve been learning aws for about 5 months. just started coding again and need to get the rust of my shoulders!
Thanks, I am about to learn Node/Express and this is much helpful at this moment.
18:44 Middleware is a function that runs in between the incoming requests and outgoing responses.
Thanks for making this. Wanted a crash course to revise my concepts and this helped a lot!
Thank you sir
I have been waiting for this 🙌🔥
this tutorial teached me much more than express, thanks alot!

love it Brad, thanks for this, very timely. Would love to see a deep dive on user auth and or working with sqlite db using express next!
Thank you very much sir.... Your content is a GEM.
I learned a lot, thank you! Advance Merry Christmas!
dude is making mern stack course by dropping react , node now express js 👍
You made me realise that 😊
Do nestjs
now I expect MongoDB crash course dropping next
Thanks Brad. You are surely a blessing
The git repo link doesn't work
Thank Brad, I've long been waiting for this
You're an awsome teacher!

Outstanding Express.js Crash Course ❤❤❤
At 1:36:00, you are just adding empty divs, then showing all posts, which looks correct because it kind of does same thing.
Im trying to code along with this video, but at 36:00, I am getting this error whenever the req url is set to /posts/not-in-posts:
TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading: 'id')
Has anyone got the same thing and have a fix for this?
Oops, I figured out my issue...
When I had hardcoded the posts array, I copied and pasted the json, but unbeknownst to me, there were extra commas between the objects.
Thanks for this I am learning NodeJS and ExpressJS now and this video is i need
Excellent course, a Typescript or PHP version of the API would be amazing.
After learning Django and a bit of Laravel, Express seems so lightweight. I really like it. Thanks Brad!
it isnt
this revamp was much needed !!! Thank You so much
Hey Brad, can't find the source code! (link in the desc seems broken). Also thanks a lot for the video❤
Hey man, any plans on a mongodb crash course too ?
Really good explanation. please have have a short course of nest js next time
thanks a lot bro, i was requesting you on your last node js crash course for express crash course. it is superb amazing tutorial as usual

Amazing course brad, would love if you would also make a crash course on Nest JS in the future.
Fantastic Brad, thanks for sharing
Thank you for this helpful crash course. 👍
Thank you very much Brad... Excellent tutorial as always. The github link is not working
Great tutorial, very useful.
I wish you also included database, too.
Remember: (i was having issue with post data, which was not posting).
Always use middleware i.e.
-------> app.use(express.json());
-------> app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: false }))
before routes
//Route's definition.
-------> app.use('/api/posts', posts);
Damn, Brad, I love you ✊🏾
Nicely done! Thank you!
Really appreciate your videos. Thank you.
Thank u so much please do one rust course end to end
Can you do a revamp of NestJS??
When everyone praising Hono? Brad is pushing express back on it feet
@brad can you please share the github repository for the express-crash so that we can take a reference since your repository has old file and the github link which you shared for express-crash is not working.
Greetings! Please tell me which vs code theme are you using?
Nice work, man! When we could expect your Laravel course?
Sakto! Thanks for this :>
Coming from the Laravel world, this feels like a huge downgrade, but this video is simply amazing for anyone looking to learn Express. Having knowledge in Laravel/Java made it easy for me to grasp the concepts. Thanks, mate
what if I want my routes to be "/about" instead of "/about.html" then i would have to create a dedicated route for each page, right?
Great Sir 🎉🎉
Thank you for your labor!
I wonder is it only me or is there anyone else that favorite EJS over React?
i dont get the question, both have different purpose isn't it?
is the github link working for you guys?
no
not for me
Good video and very informative for new learners
Hi Brad and thanks.
You are the MAN. Thank you
Thanks for sharing.😊
Amazing 💥💥
Can you create or Re-Vamp video on Go + Gin or any Go back-end framework please! Love your tutorial
The specified URL to the repository does not work. Can you revise it please?
I think you can also get the dirname and filename now with ES6 modules by doing import.meta.dirname and import.meta.filename
I am very old subscriber of this channel and I remember the guy who was too young. But it has now been a long time that I haven't seen him. Where is he?
why does post come back undefined?
Hey Brad, I can't find the code on your github. Thanks for the great tutorial and wish you the best!
I just connected to a different network and whenever I make requests using Postman I am getting an Error: Invalid IP address: undefined. Can anyone help me? I am totally new to this.
Express + firebase is Good combination in backend?
do we still need express with frameworks like nextjs?
Code from video now is invalid....
Oh hey I've been meaning to review express, it's been a while
What kind of bot ahh comment this is!
@aaratbatra4676 I wish I was a bot...I wouldn't need a job or a place to live
You're talking like express changed a lot in recent years 😂
@@gradientO wasnt it in maintainance mode, recomending users to use koajs, just a while back?
This time MERN courser with TYPESCRIPT please
when will the mongodb crash course (2024 revampp ) will come ??
is it better to use "node:path", instead of 'path'? And use it for all built-in methods just not to confuse with npm libs?
Interesting your opinion.
Anyone having issues with the postman vs code extension not working as expected?
i have an error when i add new post
which theme are u using?
thanks for the video, its very good for the beginners.. i have a request, can you make a beginner friendly video on Clean Code ? about repositiory pattern ? I mean how can we implement to our Backend Typescript project ? I have watched other videoes but couldnt understand a bit.. since you are very good in teaching may be you can help ?

Please make a video on auto generating swagger docs for express, i tried it but i was not able to give any custom tags for the swagger docs , video on that would be helpful
Thank you very much ❤
Amazing tutorial
do people use ts with express ??
I cant get the cool --watch flag to work :/
is there some discord community for traversy media?
The github link doesn't work...
