In today's video we're going to take a look at how easy it is to build a simple REST API using Node.js and the Express framework. This API is going to allow users to post comments to a web server, as well as retrieve a comment once posted.
This project is perfect for beginners who want to dive into the world of building RESTful APIs, and is purposefully simple for those getting started.

I don't comment often on !yt, but this quick tutorial is great! The length of the video is perfect and the instructor speaks in relatable terms and is able to explain almost all of issues one might run into. Great video and content...

[@angeloedz]

perfect, for some reason i was unable to find any guides that show how to get started as easily as you do. you saved me.

[@RianY2K]

Love your Tutorial, hope more video about Express and Node JS , especially how to secure API and login with JWT

[@SouthernHerdsman]

Thank you. I am trying to build an api atm, this video came out right on time.

[@waffiqaziz3273]

Thank you, ur explanation is very clearly and to the point

[@itsnobledean9450]

I was looking to create a simple site so when a employer wanted to leave me a message, I'd receive it, from my resume, you know, with a text area for them to leave me a message. This has helped me understand how to create that.

Excellent tutorial. I had to use Postman instead of Insomnia because my computer is old OS 10.11 (El Capitan).

[@bmehder]

I'd like to see another video like this one.

[@thehangover4985]

Great Video.
Explained really well.
Thank you!

[@alpachino468]

I'd love to see database and JWT implementation

[@olenakunina1]

thank you a million)) helped me a lot

[@swapnilkhopade989]

Thanks a lot for the video...

[@bobera21000]

Great video mate !

[@ramvpage]

Excellent Tutorial, Thank You Very Much

[@xd9050]

Thanks brother for this informative video :)

[@Dalamain]

This was great, I think if you ever make an updated version be sure to include nodemon, it's doesn't take long to include. Stopping and Starting the server manually all the time.... yuck.

[@bastiaanbuitelaar6287]

Because the express.json() middleware is already used, res.status(201).json(...); can also be written as res.status(201).send(...); It will work the same.

[@loydcose2780]

Can i use that for my small ecommerce project? Login system, user records etc?

[@financetravision8843]

very helpful thank you too much

[@balloobhaiya]

great explanation keep it up

[@ayencoscolfield3312]

Good contents am knew in backend REST ApI stuff but am liking this, but by the way does this involve building database service objects with your application Dockerfile as build context using docker compose

[@sr1n1k]

well done!

[@jonice4229]

how about if i want to block others from using my api?

[@Amin04]

Make condition for special key as example

[@cosanostraytc1030]

Great tutorials man... Keep it up!!! The git link for this tutorial is not working.

[@dcode-software]

Hey, try the GitHub link now - should be working!

[@kendriip]

dom i think the repository is private

[@dcode-software]

Hey should be OK now

[@FlygOnLiTe]

Do the endpoints persist if I want to keep any processes running between API requests or do they die like serverless functions?

[@hendrawidjaja490]

Do you have time to make a video for oauth too?

[@kiwizebon2273]

Hey Dom - isn’t 404 error should be in try as we are still sending the right request of 404 and catch should have 500 status code error??

[@Felix-og7pd]

simple api CRUD
in-memmory db
what use of express?

[@christopherli2827]

the github link is not working

[@dcode-software]

Thanks. Will fix it shortly

[@lucasferreira8229]

is it easy to implement an API in a system?
I've seen a few companies that require that the candidate applying for that job knows how to create, use, and implement an API with NodeJS.
I'm focusing on front-end, and wanna learn just the basics to learn how to deal with APIs.

[@protocode_227]

why use lodash

[@anim8dideas849]

install loadsh with this command:
npm install lodash --save

[@anim8dideas849]

@Mark Teena opps my bad, im not into Node JS like that. I didn't use loadash cuz it forgot to install it with the --save tag. so it was not working for me until I installed it with the "--save" tag. I assumed he was asking why brother with it since he does not tell use how to install it correctly in the tutorial and removing it doesn't effect the API if your using you own custom code. using loadash is tangential to the goal of this tutorial.
