About The Channel
The knowledge that I share here is mostly from my personal experiences. I wouldn't say I'm a 20 year professional, rather I am just a DevOps / Software Engineer with a lot of experience who enjoys teaching what I know in my spare time. I believe that sharing some of my basic knowledge on this platform can help others get started. There are many ways to program something and the videos you see here are my take on the NodeJS / Typescript / and sometimes Unity world. If this channel helps you learn, or helps you think differently then my job is done 😊.

Thank you Sir that was exactly what I was looking for.
Simple and educative!

[@mallorylaforet6419]

Glad you're making videos again. I enjoy your content!

[@csguru8211]

Thanks a lot for providing such a quality content

[@daz1uk]

Great video 👍

Great update. I shot you a pull request that shows you how to use the Rest Client plugin available in VSCode as an alternative to Postman.
Also happy to do an example for project based snippets if you are interested (you could, as a silly example, set up a snippet to give you boiler-plate code for any middleware function).

[@TheNerdyCanuck]

I like that a lot! Looks really easy to define some routing tests (instead of postman)
I think I'll merge it in for people to try.
As for snippets, I'm saving those for other videos as things get more complex.

@@TheNerdyCanuck thanks for that!

You got a new sub

I hope you will cover Jest as well. I tried it before but I got trouble with type-checking inside test files.

[@TheNerdyCanuck]

I am working on some test stuff now

[@trieunguyentuan4589]

why using package cors. Thanks

[@TheNerdyCanuck]

You can use a package for it for sure, it's probably easier
