In this video, we’ll cover:
✅ Node.js and Express.js Setup: Learn how to initialize a Node.js project, install Express.js, and create a simple server.
🔥 Nodemon Integration: Say goodbye to manual server restarts! We’ll set up Nodemon to automatically reload your server whenever you make changes to your code.
✅ Joi Validation: Implement data validation using Joi, ensuring your API requests are clean and secure. We’ll go over schema definitions and error handling.
🛡️ Custom Middleware: Understand how middleware works in Express.js. We’ll create custom middleware functions for logging requests, handling errors, and managing authentication.
📦 Organizing Routes: Structure your project by separating routes and controllers, making your code clean, modular, and maintainable.
By the end of this tutorial, you'll have a fully functional Node.js backend with:
A robust Express server
Automatic server restarts with Nodemon
Schema-based validation with Joi
Powerful middleware for processing requests
Organized route handling for scalability
