    Just think of the code you would have to write just for a REST API with relationships, JWT authentication, roles, error handling and so much more. We do it all here from a GUI. There are pros and cons to using a CMS vs custom code, but Strapi is also easy to customize if needed. Awesome technology. And no this is not sponsored, it is just something I think is amazing

This has happened a few times now, but it still amazes me every time. Thank you Brad!!

I remember in 2017 when I was learning CSS by myself no body told me about Bootstrap and I ended up creating the complete Navbar with dropdown with pure HTML and CSS. I put in more than 10 hours to do that. As I was pretty new to programming.

      Haha, you shouldn't have to feel that way when building an API. It's honestly not that hard, just takes some experience and getting used to. After a while, you'll know how to build routes, set up and configure the database, create the queries needed for your app, and convert them to JSON, not just for Node.js but for any programming language.

    Perfect timing. I've actually recently just deployed a web app with Strapi to handle the backend and content management. It was a breeze to set up. Saved me a lot of time and allowed me to focus on the frontend (React).

    • @exactzero
      @exactzero Před 4 lety

      @Reynaldo Once you're done developing, make sure to set the proper server configurations under the config/environments/production. Push your changes to Github then pull your Strapi app from your server, run npm install and then npm start. You can also use PM2 to keep your Strapi server alive and restart automatically if it crashes or your system reboots.
      Check out the official documentation for a proper deployment guide: strapi.io/documentation/3.0.0-beta.x/getting-started/deployment.html#deployment

    • @exactzero
      @exactzero Před 4 lety

    Headless CMS is amazing. There are some services out there that provide serverless and headless CMS, but I believe most would not feel very comfortable to put a middleman into their application. But strapi is solving that. They give you the dashboard and let you do however you want to manage it. Thanks for the effort 👍

    I was looking for React performance with a CMS to make life easier for clients. I could use Wordpress in a similar way, but I'm not a huge fan, for a variety of reasons. This is right up my alley! Thanks again for another great tutorial!

      I really dislike using wordpress, just feels weird, much prefer React way of building stuff!
