Building a Full-Stack CRUD Application

Building a Full-Stack CRUD Application

The chapter focuses on building a full-stack CRUD application, specifically a Task Manager, using technologies like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Node.js, Express, and MongoDB. It explains the communication between front-end and back-end components, outlines HTTP methods that correspond to CRUD operations, and provides insights into setting up and structuring the application effectively. By the end, readers will have the knowledge to develop any CRUD application independently.

What we have learnt

  • CRUD operations consist of Create, Read, Update, and Delete.
  • Front-end communicates with back-end through API requests.
  • MongoDB serves as a flexible NoSQL database for storing tasks.

Key Concepts

-- CRUD Operations
The four basic operations for managing data: Create, Read, Update, and Delete.
-- HTTP Methods
Methods used to perform CRUD operations in web applications: POST, GET, PUT/PATCH, and DELETE.
-- MongoDB
A NoSQL database that stores data in JSON-like documents, providing flexibility and scalability.
-- FrontEnd Development
The client-side part of an application, often built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
-- BackEnd Development
The server-side part that handles business logic and database operations, typically using Node.js and Express.
