Is this the same tutor?

[@hasaaniftikhar]

Yeah this is the same instructor

[@oscargonzalez5838]

Hi. When creating post to save product in MongoDB I get this response in API client. I review a few times code and dont found problem : 500 Internal Server Error...{"message" : "Product.create is not a function" !!!! Previously I send any JSON content for testing and I get same response..Any idea?

[@oscargonzalez5838]

I mean, testing works but when trying to create through your code...fails with that message!!!

[@CodingCleverly]

@@oscargonzalez5838 Your API route isn't created properly. Double check your code to see if it perfectly matches mine.

Finished a 2 year full stack cruse and this is always a wonderful addition to relook at❤

[@dominiclingham4006]

This video was fantastic to begin learning backend development! I've been stuck for a long time not knowing how to begin creating full stack applications (after spending a long time going round and round on frontend using local storage) but this has given me a strong first step! thank you so much!

[@DavidKHill]

Thank you!! Thank you!! Finally someone who make complete sense of it all. The frustrating thing as that a lot of these paid courses tend to outdated so much that it trips me up when something changes in the node modules. I came across video after getting complete stopped in a NodeJS course on Code with Mosh course. But now, I think I have enough ammunition to go back to the places where I got stump. As for the MongoDB, I launched a MongoDB Docker container on a couple of boxes to help keep costs down and seemed to work perfectly.
Thanks for showing me some cool Rest API tools, Postman, Insomnia and the JSON Viewer extension. Those came in very handy. I pulled down the "Rest API Client" by Huachao Mao into Visual Code and found that just making a simple text document with all the Rest API calls worked pretty well too.
Keep up the fantastic teachings.
