Lessons Learned

Achieving

• Improved my knowledge on building backend using TS
• Learned about Zod and how to create Zod schemas for validation
• How to create interfaces for mongoose schemas
• First time using formidable and it was a good experience
• Basic API security using express-rate-limit + helmet
• Need something out of built-in fs package, fs-extra is what you need😉
• Create user friendly URLs with Slug (Say NO to 63e722d56f4c46aa8c65a82f)
• Better logging using Winston + Morgan (A level up compared to console logs)
  • PS: Do not block your only thread (IFKYK)

Yet to achieve

There are still a few things I still need to dive into which includes but not limited to

• Use Zod in conjunction with Formidable to be able to create schema to check for fields as well.

• Docker

• ESLint

• Prettier

• Husky

• Test with Jest

Optimizations

• Used Zod for Schema validation where it was necessary to reduce something like

  if (!name || !email || ....) {
      return next(new AppErr(...))
  }
  
  if (name.length < 5) {
      return next(new AppErr(...))
  }

• Refactored routes to use router.route and chain them instead of router.get, router.post, and so on and so forth

  router.route('/').post(createProduct).get(getAllProducts);
  
  router
    .route('/:id')
    .get(getProductById)
    .put(updateProductById)
    .delete(deleteProductById);
