Learn to build your own APIs suited for both web applications and server-side communication. In this course, you will work with the cross-platform JavaScript runtime, Node.js, in conjunction with the popular server framework Express to create an API with various routes for authentication, requests, and more. By the end, you will not only learn the various methods and implementations needed for a successful API, but also understand how it can be applied to both applications and games.
You will learn how to:
- Use Express, Node.js, Postman, Nodemon, and Passport.js for server-side app development
- Set up routes, routers, and API Endpoints to send users to the right location
- Send and receive requests for server communication
- Parse data in the request bodies and cookies to perform desired tasks
- Implement the basics of authentication
