In this video tutorial, we'll walk through the process of building a RESTful API using Node.js, Express.js, MySQL for database management, and bcrypt for password hashing. We'll follow the MVC (Model-View-Controller) architecture for better code organization and maintainability. By the end of this tutorial, you'll have a solid understanding of how to structure and implement a secure and scalable API for user registration, login, and updating user information. Key Points: Introduction to Node.js and Express.js: Brief overview of Node.js and Express.js for building web applications and APIs. Setting up MySQL Database: Creating a MySQL database and establishing a connection with Node.js. Implementing bcrypt for Password Hashing: Utilizing bcrypt to securely hash passwords before storing them in the database. MVC Architecture: Explanation of MVC architecture and its benefits for structuring a web application. Creating Models: Defining models to interact with the database, encapsulating data-related logic. Configuring Routes: Setting up routes to handle different API endpoints for user operations. Middleware for Authentication: Implementing middleware to authenticate user requests. Controllers for Business Logic: Writing controllers to handle user actions and business logic. Testing the API with Postman: Demonstrating how to test the API endpoints using Postman. Deploying the API: Brief overview of deploying the API to a production environment (optional).
