For example, I suppose that to be a self-proclaimed full-stack developer in JavaScript, you have to know at least one front-end framework (like Vue, React, Angular, Svelte, Astro etc...), know the basics of the backend and its specificities, especially Node.js and all its aspects, know one or more frameworks (I think of Express.js or Fastify), know how to create an API and databases, and know the principle of MVC in order to set up a good architecture.

nodejs.dev: Nodejs.org website Added a simple GitHub action to sync auto-generated docs daily, and added prettier formatting for .yml files

the Tutorial at nodejs.dev explains how node works and how it's different from other JS environments. They also have a version of the API docs which I find has better formatting than the one at nodejs.com

https://nodejs.dev/

I think this has been fixed here https://github.com/nodejs/nodejs.dev/pull/2713/files

Probably just pending release

I believe https://nodejs.dev/ is a third party site not officially related to the Node.js project.

Strapi is the leading open-source headless Content Management System (CMS). It is 100% Javascript, based on Node.js, and used to build RESTful APIs and GraphQL.

NestJS is a Node.js framework for building server-side applications. NestJS supports typescript out of the box. On the other hand, Passport is an authentication middleware for Node.js that supports over 500 authentication strategies, e.g., username and password, google, Facebook, etc.

To manage user auth we need to create a user account - identification. So, let's install mongoose and jsonwebtoken to handle JWT authentication - an alternative to creating a user session when a user logs in

If your application uses MongoDB's Node.js driver or Mongoose ODM, occasionally you may observe errors such as querySrv ECONNREFUSED _mongodb._tcp.cluster0.abcde.mongodb.net or Error: querySrv ETIMEOUT _mongodb._tcp.cluster0.abcde.mongodb.net being thrown. The MongoDB Atlas documentation outlines several methods to troubleshoot connection issues, including how to handle "Connection Refused using SRV Connection String" scenarios, but why does this happen in the first place?

If you use Sequalize, TypeORM or for MongoDB, we have Mongoose these types of ORM tools, then you are safe by default because these help us against the SQL query injection attacks by default.

Mongoose

Now that we have created a new MongoDB deployment and saved the connection string in .env file, we would enter the code below to connect to MongoDB database through mongoose. Then, open db.js and enter this code:

Mongoose is a popular JavaScript library used with MongoDB, a NoSQL database. It provides an elegant and user-friendly way to interact with MongoDB from Node.js applications. Mongoose offers several key benefits:

To simplify this process, Cerbos developers have come up with adapters for popular Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) frameworks. You can check out for more details on the query plan repo - which also contains adapters for Prisma and SQLAlchemy - as well as a fully functioning application using Mongoose as its ORM.

After importing the mongoose module, use the [mongoose.connect()](https://mongoosejs.com/docs/api/mongoose.html#mongoose_Mongoose-connect) function to connect to the database. The first argument is the connection string, and the second argument is an object that contains the options, which are used to configure the connection. The above code logs the message, MongoDB connection is established successfully! 🎉, once the connection is successful.

Helmet helps “sanitise” the input, which might not have come from the UI directly. Mongoose is what is known as an Object Document Modelling (ODM), which defines a structure (schema) for the stored data, making it easier to manage in Express. These additions have been omitted from our example stack purely to simplify the tutorial and focus on the fundamental tiers and interfaces.
