Really great tutorial! The biggest thing I liked is the (rare) nicety of detailing which things are for demo purposes, AND THEN giving an idea of what you'd actually do in production. It really showcases just how much you know what you're talking about, and provides new users an alternative if they're building production applications. This is really great content and the time just flies by, thank you for producing such high quality content!
This video has been so important to me and my journey. I've spent hours dissecting each part of it and expanding/adapting to my needs. I was able to build a bad arse API to power the front end app. I never seen a video as thorough as this!!!
I'm a frontend dev and I wanted to get my feet wet with some backend stuff and this video was exactly what I was looking for. Well prepared, decently fast-paced, and finally a tutorial for people who are not complete beginners. Fantastic job Tom, thank you very much!
Tom you did a wonderful job. I'm learning TypeScript now and this video made me realize the advantages of a superset language in regards to node development. Keep up the good work.
Honestly one of the best tutorials I have ever seen. Starting from a more intermediate-advanced level. Understanding that the audience should know the difference between what is important for development vs production and explaining everything in a clear and consize way. You earned a new subscriber and helped me tremendously with setting up the API for the start-up I am working with.
Once again, Tom, you knock it out of the park. Sorry. Gratuitous baseball metaphor. Great video. I just spent a few weeks doing your mongo API video, shaking things up here and there, trying to explore more of the ecosystem. Great stuff. This one? Wow. Lots of time and thought went into this. THANKS!
I started following you few weeks ago and I can say that you have one of the best tutorials and video quality out there. I love the uniqueness and the way you approach things, I believe my nodejs skills will greatly advance by following your courses. Thank you once again.
Fantastic video, Tom!! Other than a few things being slightly out of date (other users should check the pinned posts comments for details), I really enjoyed how you walked through this. I really like the way things are laid out with Fastify. It all rhymes with Express, but I needed something like this to really feel equipped building servers in the future.
I really like the approach you took. Simple yet very informational because you are making almost everything from scratch except for the things you are explaining.
at the time 1:09:22, where can you get the user? how can you assign user to the request before defining the module 'fastify-jwt'. I still don't understand how can you use request.user here on the line 12. Can you explain? Because request param has the type of FastifyRequest and it originally doesn't have user prop in it
Great video!! I’m the person who asked for it on Discord and finally had the time to watch it :) One thing I noticed is, at 1:17:43 the Products don’t have the owner on them even though they are defined to do so in product.service. I fixed it by exporting userCore from user.schema, and adding `owner: z.object(userCore),` to productGenerated in product.schema. The only thing I’m not sure of is, in terms of design is exporting userCore the way to go here or would you be better off creating something like a productOwnerSchema?
@@TomDoesTech so what does it mean when a property in Json schema is set to required ? For example, in your zod schema it says the email field is required, it should be a string and an email
Wonderful video. Thank you for your time showing the power of this framework. Is it possible to use decorated to use different databases for each user? A multitenant app where each user has his own database. In Prisma, we can change the database URL string at runtime. Any thoughts on it.
That's not a good approach to multitenancy imo, in fact it's not even really multitenant at that point, it's part of your app having different deployments. A much easier way to do it is separate all your data with an organization_id or application_id.
I am following this tutorial using supabase's database. If anyone is doing the same make sure to add shadowDatabaseUrl = env("DATABASE_URL") line inside the datasource db block in schema file to run the migration successfully.
Hi Tom, great tutorial! It helped me a lot. One thing I cannot figure out though is that why the automatic type inference doesn't work in the route files. In my opinion it should know the type of request.body based on the schema. Can you help me with this?
Hey thanks for the tutorial, its awesome, but can you please tell me why server.authenticate was not avaiable in the Fastify instance even though we created a decorator for it and why did declaring a module make it worK? Thanks in advance
Nice done vid good to see a fellow aussie Curious would you of gone BigInt UTC for DateTime types so that the browser does not affect the timestamp? For prisma migrations is there a good package to use for implementing a field that can't be null? (for example if the API for stripe changes and you want to now insert a nonnull field pulling the data from stripe) or is it just easiest doing it manually with SQL then testing it locally with prisma migrate to see that it works?
Hi, I followed everything in your code but my createUser always return error 500 even though the user is successfully created in the table... and I don't know why

Hi Tom Thanks for this gread crash course. I like your way of teaching.

Property 'jwtVerify' does not exist on type, why ya?
do you need to preregister typebox schemas? the creator of Fastify didnt do it in his video
Fastify support validation of JSON data via ajv JSON validator. so where does Zod fit in which is also a JSON validator?
Zod isn't a validator, it parses the data. You can use ajv if you like, I just wanted to use Zod
@@TomDoesTech so what does it mean when a property in Json schema is set to required ?
For example, in your zod schema it says the email field is required, it should be a string and an email
When I created zod schema, I customized some error messages for verification.
But when I tried to verify, the custom error message didn't work.
Same issue here
I love this stack. Thank you for the video!

Nice tutorial, but I think the `preHandler` code to authenticate a route is old, doesn't seem be to working anymore
On app.ts, on the line with server.decorate() check if you used 'auth' vs 'authenticate'.

I'm struggling with the resolution of the upload and can barely read what you've typed. I suspect it's the compression that's removed the sharpness.
