Building APIs doing TDD in Node and Typescript (and Jest)
Why take this course?
🚀 Course Title: Building APIs with TDD in Node & TypeScript (with Jest & MongoDB)
🎓 Course Headline: A Practical Example on how to build REST APIs doing TDD using Node.js, TypeScript, and Jest, while leveraging MongoDB for persistence.
Unlock the Secrets of TDD in API Development!
Welcome to an enlightening journey where you'll learn to build robust and maintainable REST APIs through the power of Test-Driven Development (TDD) using Node.js, TypeScript, and Jest. This course will guide you step-by-step in creating a clone of the One Time Secret website using an Inside-out TDD approach, which is also known as the classicist or Chicago school TDD.
What You'll Learn:
- 👩💻 Understanding Business Requirements: Translate business needs into executable specifications.
- ✅ Test-Driven Development (TDD): Master the art of writing tests before code, ensuring your application is always covered and functional.
- 🛠️ Node.js & TypeScript: Leverage the power of JavaScript with TypeScript's type safety to build scalable and reliable APIs.
- 🧪 Jest Testing Framework: Utilize Jest for comprehensive unit, integration, and e2e testing.
- 🏫 Domain-Driven Design (DDD) & Clean Architecture: Apply principles from DDD and Hexagonal architecture to create a well-structured solution.
- 🗃️ MongoDB: Use MongoDB as your data persistence layer, storing secrets securely and efficiently.
- ⚙️ Code Quality & Refactoring: Continuously improve and maintain high code quality throughout the development process.
