Don't worry about what is missing :) The idea of the series is that we code something and make mistakes :)

Yes exactly Good job spotting that mistake :)

Happy to hear. Stay tuned. Im in the process of recording a new Series where we actually are going to interact with this API using a SwiftUI App

static functions can be called directly by calling the Service. So UserService.create() for example. Not using static forces you to first initialize it by doing: var userService = UserService() userService.create() using static is less work and when you use static, you know that you are not accessing any instance properties. That is why :)

Because you dont need to :)

No we actually dont. :) Very nice you noticed that. Im happy you enjoyed the series.

UIKIt and Swift

FieldKeys is something we created ourselves. so extension UserModel { structure FieldKeys { all fieldkey values}} I think you didn’t define FieldKeys in the right way,

Sorry for the late reply. Yeah I noticed it as well. I actually added the background music as an experiment to end my silent points. I will not add it in my new video series which in editing as we speak :) Thank you for the feedback.

Im happy you are enjoying it. If you have any feedback let me know. Im planning a new series where we are going to build a complete product using Vapor as well.

@@Exodai-Academy Any updates yet?

It is not a course :) Just a video series where we build a RESTAPI for a learning platform. The only reason for the series is so people can build their own API in Swift. It is in no way a full course where I go over every little aspect of what we are doing. But im sorry you are not happy with the video series. Something you would like to see different?

It is incredibly useful to see someone write professional, clean code and I'm learning a lot. This is free content, don't complain.

@@Aaron-dy2ey Absolutely! Ditto that!

@@Exodai-Academy Some ppl can't see the forest through the trees, lol!!!

@@Aaron-dy2ey In a few weeks im launching a new series where we are going to build the SwiftUI app to interact with this api. If you loved this code structure just wait till you see that series <3

You can do this 2 different ways. Or in Sketch and Figma by giving it rounded corners of 200. Or in UIKit using corner radius of 200

Yeah sorry for that. English is not my native language. I will try to keep it in mind.

OOo I think something went wrong there indeed. There we selected the constraints and deleted them

You mean of the code? Yeah I can do that in the future. Sorry for the inconvenience

@@Exodai-Academy No need to apologise please. It's probably my eye sight getting worse and I am living in denial. 😁 Many thanks ! 👍

Command z

@@Exodai-Academy Thanks, but what does it do? How did you align center everything with command z ?

Wow someone who actually listens and watches my videos haha. Respect Hendrik 😘. Yeah true indeed. But I prefer a force or hard delete. So everything gone so if ever something happens they can’t come complain to me haha.

@@Exodai-Academy hahah, yeah that is what I prefer too - super paranoid about keeping their data after deletion 😅

I have recorded the next 5 videos, I just had so many issues with sound I have to re-record them. Next week I will have tine ad record the last few videos of this series :) Just prepare yourself on the next series where we are going to build the Academy Website using Swift ;)

That’s going to be great.

Great video exodai… y hope finish the last videos soon :’)

Performance wise you ideally want to make as less queries as possible. Especially because most relational databases are heavy on the hardware it runs on. Especially PostgreSQL which we are using is not a light database. Maybe bad practice was not the right name for this I agree. Are you enjoying the series?

Reusability. Now you can call services separately without calling a complete controller. For example when you have a controller that needs to call multiple functions to get information and you only need 1 of those functions to run for another function you can just call the needed service or subservice instead of the whole controller

@@Exodai-Academy i appreciate your answer. 👍 did my First approach without the Service layer But i See the Benefits. I would say it depends on the size of the project. // Feedback I watched your Whole Series and to improve your Future Videos i would like to Share some ideas - dont Show your whole process on all Controllers Service etc Focus on one and explain your thoughts behind every Step you do to get some insights - maybe explain some of your steps in More detail Instead of Just Talking down your written Code - please change the background Music. I feel i get the vibe in my dreams After the whole series xD + good overview about your whole concept + nice Voice , Calm and relaxing + you Show errors instead of hiding Them to look Perfect! I like that Ty

Hey B, Of course it has 100 percent to do with the scope of the project. if you use vapor as a small backend for your Portfolio website or Blog you are not going to implement services layer but you put everything in the controller. But i add the Services layer because not all the code i write is in the videos, some code i keep private for certain other systems. Like for example I’m not sharing the code for subscriptions and webshop part. Services just come in handy when you run multiple functions which need the same information. Thank you for the feedback. I will work on the points you added :) There are 10 more videos in the series so i hope you enjoy. The series after this is going to be, Build a website using Swift. There we go to extend the API with an actual website and a website backend in Swift. Is also going to be interesting. Yeah tbh I can’t watch coding videos where they edit out all the issues. I never edited out mistakes even in the paid courses i sold in the past. I think it is important to see the debug flow. And i experienced that watching heavy edited videos lets people believe they suck at coding, and I don’t want that. The background music is more to hide some breading noise haha. I have had a cold for the last 6 years now so sometimes you hear it in the videos. Btw You going to see a really big mistake in this series which gets fixed at the end of the series ;) SIncerely Johan

Im happy you like it. Enjoy the rest and stay tuned. I have something cool launching later this year 😎

Always happy to help :)

.save does the same as .update() I just find .save easier to use

Did you setup a Database with Docker and the database setup in configure.swift?

Video 13 drops on Monday :) This series launches 3 videos a week. Every Monday, WednesDay and Friday.

ty kind sir

Xcode

In a later video you will see how this works. After the models we will write the migration where it will be clear how this works. . And you can store arrays in PostgreSQL using the .array(.property)

Btw. Just a little information. A lot of stuff we do in this series can be changed at the end of the series. I recorded and developed the API in a "real world" kind of idea so stuff can always change when you find a better solution.

@@Exodai-Academy Ok, thank you.
