π Day 90:
MongoDB is a NoSQL database, and with Mongoose, working with it in Node becomes super easy and structured!
π‘ Why?
π¦ NoSQL = Flexible, schema-less storage
π Mongoose = Object mapping with built-in validation
π Ideal for dynamic, fast-changing data in modern apps
π Day 89:
A RESTful API lets your frontend and backend talk using HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) and JSON.
π‘ Why RESTful APIs?
π Connect frontend to backend
π€ Communicate using JSON
β Use proper HTTP status codes (200, 201, 404, etc.)
π§± Base for modern web apps
π Day 88:
Express.js is a minimal, fast, and flexible Node.js framework that simplifies server creation and routing.π
π‘ Why Use Express?
β Faster than raw Node HTTP server
β Cleaner routing
β Built-in middleware support
β Easy to scale with third-party packages
π Day 86: Routing in Node.js π
Routing decides how your server responds to various URL requests.
π‘ Summary:
-Manual routing is a good way to learn the basics.
-But for real-world apps, Express gives a cleaner and more powerful approach to routing!
π Day 85:π₯οΈ
Node.js lets you create a basic web server using the built-in http module β no external packages needed!
π‘Why it matters?
Creating HTTP servers is a core backend skill.
Youβll later build on this with frameworks like Express, but this is the foundation!
πDay 84:
Error handling keeps your app stable and safe. Hereβs how to handle errors like a pro in Node.js!
π§ Use try-catch for sync code.
π§ Wrap await calls in try-catch for async errors.
π§ Create custom error for clearer responses.
π§ Use Express middleware to catch all errors.
