Building a RESTful API with Node.js, Fastify, MongoDB and Mongoose: Part 1

In this video, we take a deep dive into building a robust RESTful API using Node.js, Fastify, MongoDB, and Mongoose. We go from an empty folder to CRUD capability on one of our resources. ? Sections: 0:00 - Introduction 0:18 - Project Overview 0:39 - Initializing with NPM 1:00 - Setting Up Source Code Directories 1:46 - Starting with User Resource & Configuring Fastify 2:40 - Importing Routes & Controllers 4:28 - Writing Controllers & holding CRUD Operations 7:40 - Creating User Model in MongoDB with Mongoose 9:40 - Connecting to Database 11:18 - Implementing CRUD Operations in User Controller 14:03 - Testing Our API with CRUD Operations 15:36 - Wrapping Up & What&Next 16:45 - Outro Throughout the video, we cover topics such as creating a database schema with Mongoose, configuring Fastify as our web framework, initializing with NPM, and setting up our routes and controllers. We&also show you how to implement full CRUD functionality for the user resource. This video is perfect for beginners looking to understand the basics of RESTful API development using Node.js, as well as experienced developers looking to brush up on their skills. In future videos, we will expand on this project by adding additional resources, authentication, authorization, and testing.
