Router

React Router

version 6.4 brought significant changes (loader and action)
pages as independent entities
less need for global state
more pages

Setup Router

all my examples will include version !!!

npm i react-router-dom@6.10.0

App.jsx

import { createBrowserRouter, RouterProvider } from 'react-router-dom';

const router = createBrowserRouter([
  {
    path: '/',
    element: <h1>home</h1>,
  },
  {
    path: '/about',
    element: (
      <div>
        <h2>about page</h2>
      </div>
    ),
  },
]);

const App = () => {
  return <RouterProvider router={router} />;
};
export default App;

Create Pages

create src/pages directory
setup index.js and following pages :

AddJob.jsx Admin.jsx AllJobs.jsx DashboardLayout.jsx DeleteJob.jsx EditJob.jsx Error.jsx HomeLayout.jsx Landing.jsx Login.jsx Profile.jsx Register.jsx Stats.jsx

const AddJob = () => {
  return <h1>AddJob</h1>;
};
export default AddJob;

Index

App.jsx

import HomeLayout from '../ pages/HomeLayout';

pages/index.js

export { default as DashboardLayout } from './DashboardLayout';
export { default as Landing } from './Landing';
export { default as HomeLayout } from './HomeLayout';
export { default as Register } from './Register';
export { default as Login } from './Login';
export { default as Error } from './Error';
export { default as Stats } from './Stats';
export { default as AllJobs } from './AllJobs';
export { default as AddJob } from './AddJob';
export { default as EditJob } from './EditJob';
export { default as Profile } from './Profile';
export { default as Admin } from './Admin';

App.jsx

import {
  HomeLayout,
  Landing,
  Register,
  Login,
  DashboardLayout,
  Error,
} from './pages';

const router = createBrowserRouter([
  {
    path: '/',
    element: <HomeLayout />,
  },
  {
    path: '/register',
    element: <Register />,
  },
  {
    path: '/login',
    element: <Login />,
  },
  {
    path: '/dashboard',
    element: <DashboardLayout />,
  },
]);

Link Component

navigate around project
client side routing

Register.jsx

import { Link } from 'react-router-dom';

const Register = () => {
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Register</h1>
      <Link to='/login'>Login Page</Link>
    </div>
  );
};
export default Register;

Login.jsx

import { Link } from 'react-router-dom';

const Login = () => {
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Login</h1>
      <Link to='/register'>Register Page</Link>
    </div>
  );
};
export default Login;

Nested Routes

what about Navbar?
decide on root (parent route)
make path relative
for time being only home layout will be visible

App.jsx

const router = createBrowserRouter([
  {
    path: '/',
    element: <HomeLayout />,
    children: [
      {
        path: 'register',
        element: <Register />,
      },
      {
        path: 'login',
        element: <Login />,
      },
      {
        path: 'dashboard',
        element: <DashboardLayout />,
      },
    ],
  },
]);

HomeLayout.jsx

import { Outlet } from 'react-router-dom';

const HomeLayout = () => {
  return (
    <>
      {/* add things like Navbar */}
      {/* <h1>home layout</h1> */}
      <Outlet />
    </>
  );
};
export default HomeLayout;

Index (Home) Page

App.jsx

{
    path: '/',
    element: <HomeLayout />,
    children: [
      {
        index: true,
        element: <Landing />,
      },
...
      ]
}

Error Page

bubbles up

App.jsx

{
    path: '/',
    element: <HomeLayout />,
    errorElement: <Error />,
    ...
}

Error.jsx

import { Link, useRouteError } from 'react-router-dom';

const Error = () => {
  const error = useRouteError();
  console.log(error);
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Error Page !!!</h1>
      <Link to='/dashboard'>back home</Link>
    </div>
  );
};
export default Error;

required attribute

In HTML, the "required" attribute is used to indicate that a form input field must be filled out before the form can be submitted. It is typically applied to input elements such as text fields, checkboxes, and radio buttons. When the "required" attribute is added to an input element, the browser will prevent form submission if the field is left empty, providing a validation message to prompt the user to enter the required information.
default value

In React, the defaultValue prop is used to set the initial or default value of an input component. It is similar to the value attribute in HTML, but with a slightly different behavior.

FormRow Component

Express Docs

Express is a fast and minimalist web application framework for Node.js. It simplifies the process of building web applications by providing a robust set of features for handling HTTP requests, routing, middleware, and more. Express allows you to create server-side applications and APIs easily, with a focus on simplicity and flexibility.

Nodemon Docs

Nodemon is a development tool that improves the developer experience. It monitors your Node.js application for any changes in the code and automatically restarts the server whenever a change is detected. This eliminates the need to manually restart the server after every code modification, making the development process more efficient and productive. Nodemon is commonly used during development to save time and avoid the hassle of manual server restarts.

npm i express@4.18.2 nodemon@2.0.22

server.js

import express from 'express';
const app = express();

app.get('/', (req, res) => {
  res.send('Hello World');
});

app.listen(5100, () => {
  console.log('server running....');
});

package.json

"scripts": {
    "dev": "nodemon server.js"
  },

Thunder Client

Thunder Client is a popular Visual Studio Code extension that facilitates API testing and debugging. It provides a user-friendly interface for making HTTP requests and viewing the responses, allowing developers to easily test APIs, examine headers, and inspect JSON/XML payloads. Thunder Client offers features such as environment variables, request history, and the ability to save and organize requests for efficient development workflows.

Get All Jobs

Nanoid

The nanoid package is a software library used for generating unique and compact identifiers in web applications or databases. It creates short and URL-safe IDs by combining random characters from a set of 64 characters. Nanoid is a popular choice due to its simplicity, efficiency, and collision-resistant nature.

npm i nanoid@4.0.2

server.js

import { nanoid } from 'nanoid';

let jobs = [
  { id: nanoid(), company: 'apple', position: 'front-end' },
  { id: nanoid(), company: 'google', position: 'back-end' },
];

app.get('/api/v1/jobs', (req, res) => {
  res.status(200).json({ jobs });
});

Create, FindOne, Modify and Delete

// CREATE JOB

app.post('/api/v1/jobs', (req, res) => {
  const { company, position } = req.body;
  if (!company || !position) {
    return res.status(400).json({ msg: 'please provide company and position' });
  }
  const id = nanoid(10);
  // console.log(id);
  const job = { id, company, position };
  jobs.push(job);
  res.status(200).json({ job });
});

// GET SINGLE JOB

app.get('/api/v1/jobs/:id', (req, res) => {
  const { id } = req.params;
  const job = jobs.find((job) => job.id === id);
  if (!job) {
    return res.status(404).json({ msg: `no job with id ${id}` });
  }
  res.status(200).json({ job });
});

// EDIT JOB

app.patch('/api/v1/jobs/:id', (req, res) => {
  const { company, position } = req.body;
  if (!company || !position) {
    return res.status(400).json({ msg: 'please provide company and position' });
  }
  const { id } = req.params;
  const job = jobs.find((job) => job.id === id);
  if (!job) {
    return res.status(404).json({ msg: `no job with id ${id}` });
  }

  job.company = company;
  job.position = position;
  res.status(200).json({ msg: 'job modified', job });
});

// DELETE JOB

app.delete('/api/v1/jobs/:id', (req, res) => {
  const { id } = req.params;
  const job = jobs.find((job) => job.id === id);
  if (!job) {
    return res.status(404).json({ msg: `no job with id ${id}` });
  }
  const newJobs = jobs.filter((job) => job.id !== id);
  jobs = newJobs;

  res.status(200).json({ msg: 'job deleted' });
});

Not Found Middleware

app.use('*', (req, res) => {
  res.status(404).json({ msg: 'not found' });
});

Error Middleware

app.use((err, req, res, next) => {
  console.log(err);
  res.status(500).json({ msg: 'something went wrong' });
});

Not Found and Error Middleware

The "not found" middleware in Express.js is used when a request is made to a route that does not exist. It catches these requests and responds with a 404 status code, indicating that the requested resource was not found.

On the other hand, the "error" middleware in Express.js is used to handle any errors that occur during the processing of a request. It is typically used to catch unexpected errors or exceptions that are not explicitly handled in the application code. It logs the error and sends a 500 status code, indicating an internal server error.

In summary, the "not found" middleware is specifically designed to handle requests for non-existent routes, while the "error" middleware is a catch-all for handling unexpected errors that occur during request processing.

make a request to "/jobss"

// GET ALL JOBS
app.get('/api/v1/jobs', (req, res) => {
  // console.log(jobss);
  res.status(200).json({ jobs });
});

// GET SINGLE JOB
app.get('/api/v1/jobs/:id', (req, res) => {
  const { id } = req.params;
  const job = jobs.find((job) => job.id === id);
  if (!job) {
    throw new Error('no job with that id');
    return res.status(404).json({ msg: `no job with id ${id}` });
  }
  res.status(200).json({ job });
});

MongoDB

MongoDb

MongoDB is a popular NoSQL database that provides a flexible and scalable approach to storing and retrieving data. It uses a document-oriented model, where data is organized into collections of JSON-like documents. MongoDB offers high performance, horizontal scalability, and easy integration with modern development frameworks, making it suitable for handling diverse data types and handling large-scale applications.

MongoDB Atlas is a fully managed cloud database service provided by MongoDB, offering automated deployment, scaling, and monitoring of MongoDB clusters, allowing developers to focus on building their applications without worrying about infrastructure management.

Mongoosejs

Mongoose

Mongoose is an Object Data Modeling (ODM) library for Node.js that provides a straightforward and elegant way to interact with MongoDB. It allows developers to define schemas and models for their data, providing structure and validation. Mongoose also offers features like data querying, middleware, and support for data relationships, making it a powerful tool for building MongoDB-based applications.

npm i mongoose@7.0.5

server.js

import mongoose from 'mongoose';

try {
  await mongoose.connect(process.env.MONGO_URL);
  app.listen(port, () => {
    console.log(`server running on PORT ${port}....`);
  });
} catch (error) {
  console.log(error);
  process.exit(1);
}

Job Model

models/JobModel.js

enum - data type represents a field with a predefined set of values

import mongoose from 'mongoose';

const JobSchema = new mongoose.Schema(
  {
    company: String,
    position: String,
    jobStatus: {
      type: String,
      enum: ['interview', 'declined', 'pending'],
      default: 'pending',
    },
    jobType: {
      type: String,
      enum: ['full-time', 'part-time', 'internship'],
      default: 'full-time',
    },
    jobLocation: {
      type: String,
      default: 'my city',
    },
  },
  { timestamps: true }
);

export default mongoose.model('Job', JobSchema);

Create Job

jobController.js

import Job from '../models/JobModel.js';

export const createJob = async (req, res) => {
  const { company, position } = req.body;
  const job = await Job.create({ company, position });
  res.status(201).json({ job });
};

Try / Catch

jobController.js

export const createJob = async (req, res) => {
  const { company, position } = req.body;
  try {
    const job = await Job.create('something');
    res.status(201).json({ job });
  } catch (error) {
    res.status(500).json({ msg: 'server error' });
  }
};

express-async-errors

The "express-async-errors" package is an Express.js middleware that helps handle errors that occur within asynchronous functions. It catches unhandled errors inside async/await functions and forwards them to Express.js's error handling middleware, preventing the Node.js process from crashing. It simplifies error handling in Express.js applications by allowing you to write asynchronous code without worrying about manually catching and forwarding errors.

Express Async Errors

npm i express-async-errors@3.1.1

setup import at the top !!!

server.js

import 'express-async-errors';

jobController.js

export const createJob = async (req, res) => {
  const { company, position } = req.body;

  const job = await Job.create({ company, position });
  res.status(201).json({ job });
};

Get All Jobs

jobController.js

export const getAllJobs = async (req, res) => {
  const jobs = await Job.find({});
  res.status(200).json({ jobs });
};

Get Single Job

export const getJob = async (req, res) => {
  const { id } = req.params;
  const job = await Job.findById(id);
  if (!job) {
    return res.status(404).json({ msg: `no job with id ${id}` });
  }
  res.status(200).json({ job });
};

Delete Job

jobController.js

export const deleteJob = async (req, res) => {
  const { id } = req.params;
  const removedJob = await Job.findByIdAndDelete(id);

  if (!removedJob) {
    return res.status(404).json({ msg: `no job with id ${id}` });
  }
  res.status(200).json({ job: removedJob });
};

Update Job

export const updateJob = async (req, res) => {
  const { id } = req.params;

  const updatedJob = await Job.findByIdAndUpdate(id, req.body, {
    new: true,
  });

  if (!updatedJob) {
    return res.status(404).json({ msg: `no job with id ${id}` });
  }

  res.status(200).json({ job: updatedJob });
};

Status Codes

A library for HTTP status codes is useful because it provides a comprehensive and standardized set of codes that represent the outcome of HTTP requests. It allows developers to easily understand and handle different scenarios during web development, such as successful responses, client or server errors, redirects, and more. By using a status code library, developers can ensure consistent and reliable communication between servers and clients, leading to better error handling and improved user experience.

Http Status Codes

npm i http-status-codes@2.2.0

200 OK OK 201 CREATED Created

400 BAD_REQUEST Bad Request 401 UNAUTHORIZED Unauthorized

403 FORBIDDEN Forbidden 404 NOT_FOUND Not Found

500 INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR Internal Server Error

refactor 200 response in all controllers

jobController.js

res.status(StatusCodes.OK).json({ jobs });

createJob

res.status(StatusCodes.CREATED).json({ job });

Custom Error Class

jobController

export const getJob = async (req, res) => {
  ....
  if (!job) {
    throw new Error('no job with that id');
    // return res.status(404).json({ msg: `no job with id ${id}` });
  }
  ...
};

errors/customErrors.js

import { StatusCodes } from 'http-status-codes';
export class NotFoundError extends Error {
  constructor(message) {
    super(message);
    this.name = 'NotFoundError';
    this.statusCode = StatusCodes.NOT_FOUND;
  }
}

This code defines a custom error class NotFoundError that extends the built-in Error class in JavaScript. The NotFoundError class is designed to be used when a requested resource is not found, and it includes a status code of 404 to indicate this.

Here's a breakdown of the code:

class NotFoundError extends Error: This line defines a new class NotFoundError that extends the built-in Error class. This means that NotFoundError inherits all of the properties and methods of the Error class, and can also define its own properties and methods.

constructor(message): This is the constructor method for the NotFoundError class, which is called when a new instance of the class is created. The message parameter is the error message that will be displayed when the error is thrown.

super(message): This line calls the constructor of the Error class and passes the message parameter to it. This sets the error message for the NotFoundError instance.

this.name = "NotFoundError": This line sets the name property of the NotFoundError instance to "NotFoundError". This is a built-in property of the Error class that specifies the name of the error.

this.statusCode = 404: This line sets the statusCode property of the NotFoundError instance to 404. This is a custom property that is specific to the NotFoundError class and indicates the HTTP status code that should be returned when this error occurs.

By creating a custom error class like NotFoundError, you can provide more specific error messages and properties to help with debugging and error handling in your application.

Custom Error

jobController.js

import { NotFoundError } from '../customErrors.js';

if (!job) throw new NotFoundError(`no job with id : ${id}`);

middleware/errorHandlerMiddleware.js

import { StatusCodes } from 'http-status-codes';
const errorHandlerMiddleware = (err, req, res, next) => {
  console.log(err);
  const statusCode = err.statusCode || StatusCodes.INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR;
  const msg = err.message || 'Something went wrong, try again later';

  res.status(statusCode).json({ msg });
};

export default errorHandlerMiddleware;

// first registered user is an admin
const isFirstAccount = (await User.countDocuments()) === 0;
req.body.role = isFirstAccount ? 'admin' : 'user';

const user = await User.create(req.body);

Hash Passwords

bcryptjs

npm i bcryptjs@2.4.3

authController.js

import bcrypt from 'bcryptjs';

const register = async (req, res) => {
  // a random value that is added to the password before hashing
  const salt = await bcrypt.genSalt(10);
  const hashedPassword = await bcrypt.hash(req.body.password, salt);
  req.body.password = hashedPassword;

  const user = await User.create(req.body);
};

const salt = await bcrypt.genSalt(10); This line generates a random "salt" value that will be used to hash the password. A salt is a random value that is added to the password before hashing, which helps to make the resulting hash more resistant to attacks like dictionary attacks and rainbow table attacks. The genSalt() function in bcrypt generates a random salt value using a specified "cost" value. The cost value determines how much CPU time is needed to calculate the hash, and higher cost values result in stronger hashes that are more resistant to attacks.

In this example, a cost value of 10 is used to generate the salt. This is a good default value that provides a good balance between security and performance. However, you may need to adjust the cost value based on the specific needs of your application.

const hashedPassword = await bcrypt.hash(password, salt); This line uses the generated salt value to hash the password. The hash() function in bcrypt takes two arguments: the password to be hashed, and the salt value to use for the hash. It then calculates the hash value using a one-way hash function and the specified salt value.

The resulting hash value is a string that represents the hashed password. This string can then be stored in a database or other storage mechanism to be compared against the user's password when they log in.

By using a salt value and a one-way hash function, bcrypt helps to ensure that user passwords are stored securely and are resistant to attacks like password cracking and brute-force attacks.

BCRYPT VS BCRYPTJS

bcrypt and bcryptjs are both popular libraries for hashing passwords in Node.js applications. However, bcryptjs is considered to be a better choice for a few reasons:

Cross-platform compatibility: bcrypt is a native Node.js module that uses C++ bindings, which can make it difficult to install and use on some platforms. bcryptjs, on the other hand, is a pure JavaScript implementation that works on any platform.

Security: While both bcrypt and bcryptjs use the same underlying algorithm for hashing passwords, bcryptjs is designed to be more resistant to certain types of attacks, such as side-channel attacks.

Ease of use: bcryptjs has a simpler and more intuitive API than bcrypt, which can make it easier to use and integrate into your application.

Overall, while bcrypt and bcryptjs are both good choices for hashing passwords in Node.js applications, bcryptjs is considered to be a better choice for its cross-platform compatibility, improved security, ease of use, and ongoing maintenance.

Setup Password Utils

utils/passwordUtils.js

import bcrypt from 'bcryptjs';

export async function hashPassword(password) {
  const salt = await bcrypt.genSalt(10);
  const hashedPassword = await bcrypt.hash(password, salt);
  return hashedPassword;
}

authController.js

import { hashPassword } from '../utils/passwordUtils.js';

const register = async (req, res) => {
  const hashedPassword = await hashPassword(req.body.password);
  req.body.password = hashedPassword;

  const user = await User.create(req.body);
  res.status(StatusCodes.CREATED).json({ msg: 'user created' });
};

Login User

login user request

{
  "email": "john@gmail.com",
  "password": "secret123"
}

export const validateLoginInput = withValidationErrors([
  body('email')
    .notEmpty()
    .withMessage('email is required')
    .isEmail()
    .withMessage('invalid email format'),
  body('password').notEmpty().withMessage('password is required'),
]);

authRouter.js

import { validateLoginInput } from '../middleware/validationMiddleware.js';

router.post('/login', validateLoginInput, login);

Unauthenticated Error

authController.js

import { UnauthenticatedError } from '../errors/customErrors.js';

const login = async (req, res) => {
  // check if user exists
  // check if password is correct

  const user = await User.findOne({ email: req.body.email });
  if (!user) throw new UnauthenticatedError('invalid credentials');

  res.send('login route');
};

Compare Password

passwordUtils.js

export async function comparePassword(password, hashedPassword) {
  const isMatch = await bcrypt.compare(password, hashedPassword);
  return isMatch;
}

authController.js

import { hashPassword, comparePassword } from '../utils/passwordUtils.js';

const login = async (req, res) => {
  // check if user exists
  // check if password is correct

  const user = await User.findOne({ email: req.body.email });

  if (!user) throw new UnauthenticatedError('invalid credentials');

  const isPasswordCorrect = await comparePassword(
    req.body.password,
    user.password
  );

  if (!isPasswordCorrect) throw new UnauthenticatedError('invalid credentials');
  res.send('login route');
};

Refactor

const isValidUser = user && (await comparePassword(password, user.password));
if (!isValidUser) throw new UnauthenticatedError('invalid credentials');

JSON Web Token

A JSON Web Token (JWT) is a compact and secure way of transmitting data between parties. It is often used to authenticate and authorize users in web applications and APIs. JWTs contain information about the user and additional metadata, and can be used to securely transmit this information

Useful Resource

npm i jsonwebtoken@9.0.0

utils/tokenUtils.js

import jwt from 'jsonwebtoken';

export const createJWT = (payload) => {
  const token = jwt.sign(payload, process.env.JWT_SECRET, {
    expiresIn: process.env.JWT_EXPIRES_IN,
  });
  return token;
};

JWT_SECRET represents the secret key used to sign the JWT. When creating a JWT, the payload (data) is signed with this secret key to generate a unique token. The secret key should be kept secure and should not be disclosed to unauthorized parties.

JWT_EXPIRES_IN specifies the expiration time for the JWT. It determines how long the token remains valid before it expires. The value of JWT_EXPIRES_IN is typically provided as a duration, such as "1h" for one hour or "7d" for seven days. Once the token expires, it is no longer considered valid and can't be used for authentication or authorization purposes.

These environment variables (JWT_SECRET and JWT_EXPIRES_IN) are read from the system environment during runtime, allowing for flexibility in configuration without modifying the code.

authController.js

import { createJWT } from '../utils/tokenUtils.js';

const token = createJWT({ userId: user._id, role: user.role });
console.log(token);

HTTP Only Cookie

An HTTP-only cookie is a cookie that can't be accessed by JavaScript running in the browser. It is designed to help prevent cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, which can be used to steal cookies and other sensitive information.

HTTP Only Cookie VS Local Storage

An HTTP-only cookie is a type of cookie that is designed to be inaccessible to JavaScript running in the browser. It is primarily used for authentication purposes and is a more secure way of storing sensitive information like user tokens. Local storage, on the other hand, is a browser-based storage mechanism that is accessible to JavaScript, and is used to store application data like preferences or user-generated content. While local storage is convenient, it is not a secure way of storing sensitive information as it can be accessed and modified by JavaScript running in the browser.

authControllers.js

const oneDay = 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24;

res.cookie('token', token, {
  httpOnly: true,
  expires: new Date(Date.now() + oneDay),
  secure: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production',
});

res.status(StatusCodes.CREATED).json({ msg: 'user logged in' });

const oneDay = 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24;

This line defines a constant oneDay that represents the number of milliseconds in a day. This value is used later to set the expiration time for the cookie.

res.cookie('token', token, {...});:

This line sets a cookie with the name "token" and a value of token, which is the JWT that was generated for the user. The ... represents an object containing additional options for the cookie.

httpOnly: true: This option makes the cookie inaccessible to JavaScript running in the browser. This helps to prevent cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, which can be used to steal cookies and other sensitive information.

expires: new Date(Date.now() + oneDay): This option sets the expiration time for the cookie. In this case, the cookie will expire one day from the current time (as represented by Date.now() + oneDay).

secure: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production': This option determines whether the cookie should be marked as secure or not. If the NODE_ENV environment variable is set to "production", then the cookie is marked as secure, which means it can only be transmitted over HTTPS. This helps to prevent man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks, which can intercept and modify cookies that are transmitted over unsecured connections.

jobsController.js

export const getAllJobs = async (req, res) => {
  console.log(req);
  const jobs = await Job.find({});
  res.status(StatusCodes.OK).json({ jobs });

Setup Proxy

only in dev env
a must since cookies are sent back to the same server
spin up both servers (our own and vite dev)
server

npm run dev

vite dev server

cd client && npm run dev

server.js

app.get('/api/v1/test', (req, res) => {
  res.json({ msg: 'test route' });
});

client/src/main.jsx

fetch('http://localhost:5100/api/v1/test')
  .then((res) => res.json())
  .then((data) => console.log(data));

client/vite.config.js

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [react()],
  server: {
    proxy: {
      '/api': {
        target: 'http://localhost:5100/api',
        changeOrigin: true,
        rewrite: (path) => path.replace(/^\/api/, ''),
      },
    },
  },
});

main.jsx

fetch('/api/v1/test')
  .then((res) => res.json())
  .then((data) => console.log(data));

This code configures a proxy rule for the development server, specifically for requests that start with /api. Let's go through each property:

'/api': This is the path to match. If a request is made to the development server with a path that starts with /api, the proxy rule will be applied. target: 'http://localhost:5100/api': This specifies the target URL where the requests will be redirected. In this case, any request that matches the /api path will be forwarded to http://localhost:5100/api.

changeOrigin: true: When set to true, this property changes the origin of the request to match the target URL. This can be useful when working with CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) restrictions.

rewrite: (path) => path.replace(/^/api/, ''): This property allows you to modify the path of the request before it is forwarded to the target. In this case, the rewrite function uses a regular expression (/^/api/) to remove the /api prefix from the path. For example, if a request is made to /api/users, the rewritten path will be /users.

To summarize, these lines of code configure a proxy rule for requests starting with /api on the development server. The requests will be redirected to http://localhost:5100/api, with the /api prefix removed from the path.

Concurrently

The concurrently npm package is a utility that allows you to run multiple commands concurrently in the same terminal window. It provides a convenient way to execute multiple tasks or processes simultaneously.

npm i concurrently@8.0.1

"scripts": {
    "setup-project": "npm i && cd client && npm i",
    "server": "nodemon server",
    "client": "cd client && npm run dev",
    "dev": "concurrently --kill-others-on-fail \" npm run server\" \" npm run client\""
  },

By default, when a command fails, concurrently continues running the remaining commands. However, when --kill-others-on-fail is specified, if any of the commands fail, concurrently will immediately terminate all the other running commands.

Axios

Axios is a popular JavaScript library that simplifies the process of making HTTP requests from web browsers or Node.js. It provides a simple and elegant API for performing asynchronous HTTP requests, supporting features such as making GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE requests, handling request and response headers, handling request cancellation, and more.

Axios Docs

npm i axios@1.3.6

main.jsx

import axios from 'axios';

const data = await axios.get('/api/v1/test');
console.log(data);

Custom Instance

utils/customFetch.js

import axios from 'axios';
const customFetch = axios.create({
  baseURL: '/api/v1',
});

export default customFetch;

main.jsx

import customFetch from './utils/customFetch.js';

const data = await customFetch.get('/test');
console.log(data);

Typical Form Submission

import { useState } from 'react';
import axios from 'axios';
const MyForm = () => {
  const [value, setValue] = useState('');

  const handleSubmit = async (event) => {
    event.preventDefault();
    const data = await axios.post('url', { value });
  };

  return <form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>.....</form>;
};

export default MyForm;

React Router - Action

Route actions are the "writes" to route loader "reads". They provide a way for apps to perform data mutations with simple HTML and HTTP semantics while React Router abstracts away the complexity of asynchronous UI and revalidation. This gives you the simple mental model of HTML + HTTP (where the browser handles the asynchrony and revalidation) with the behavior and UX capabilities of modern SPAs.

Register.jsx

import { Form, redirect, useNavigation, Link } from 'react-router-dom';
import Wrapper from '../assets/wrappers/RegisterAndLoginPage';
import { FormRow, Logo } from '../components';

const Register = () => {
  return (
    <Wrapper>
      <Form method='post' className='form'>
        ...
      </Form>
    </Wrapper>
  );
};
export default Register;

App.jsx

{
  path: 'register',
  element: <Register />,
  action: () => {
   console.log('hello there');
   return null;
    },
},

Register User

FormData API

FormData API - JS Nuggets FormData API - React

Register.jsx

export const action = async ({ request }) => {
  const formData = await request.formData();
  const data = Object.fromEntries(formData);
  try {
    await customFetch.post('/auth/register', data);
    return redirect('/login');
  } catch (error) {
    return error;
  }
};

App.jsx

import { action as registerAction } from './pages/Register';

{
  path: 'register',
  element: <Register />,
  action:registerAction
},

useNavigation() and navigation.state

This hook tells you everything you need to know about a page navigation to build pending navigation indicators and optimistic UI on data mutations. Things like:

Global loading indicators
Adding busy indicators to submit buttons

Navigation State

idle - There is no navigation pending. submitting - A route action is being called due to a form submission using POST, PUT, PATCH, or DELETE loading - The loaders for the next routes are being called to render the next page

Register.jsx

const Register = () => {
  const navigation = useNavigation();
  const isSubmitting = navigation.state === 'submitting';
  return (
    <Wrapper>
      <Form method='post' className='form'>
        ....
        <button type='submit' className='btn btn-block' disabled={isSubmitting}>
          {isSubmitting ? 'submitting...' : 'submit'}

npm i multer@1.4.5

Multer is a popular middleware package for handling multipart/form-data in Node.js web applications. It is commonly used for handling file uploads. Multer simplifies the process of accepting and storing files submitted through HTTP requests by providing an easy-to-use API. It integrates seamlessly with Express.js and allows developers to define upload destinations, file size limits, and other configurations.

create middleware/multerMiddleware.js
setup multer

import multer from 'multer';

const storage = multer.diskStorage({
  destination: (req, file, cb) => {
    // set the directory where uploaded files will be stored
    cb(null, 'public/uploads');
  },
  filename: (req, file, cb) => {
    const fileName = file.originalname;
    // set the name of the uploaded file
    cb(null, fileName);
  },
});
const upload = multer({ storage });

export default upload;

routes/userRouter.js

import upload from '../middleware/multerMiddleware.js';

router.patch(
  '/update-user',
  upload.single('avatar'),
  validateUpdateUserInput,
  updateUser
);

First, the multer package is imported.

Then, a storage object is created using multer.diskStorage(). This object specifies the configuration for storing uploaded files. In this case, the destination function determines the directory where the uploaded files will be saved, which is set to 'public/uploads'. The filename function defines the name of the uploaded file, which is set to the original filename.

Next, a multer middleware is created by passing the storage object as a configuration option. This multer middleware will be used to handle file uploads in the application.

In this case, upload is an instance of the Multer middleware that was created earlier. The .single() method is called on this instance to indicate that only one file will be uploaded. The argument 'avatar' specifies the name of the field in the HTTP request that corresponds to the uploaded file.

When this middleware is used in an HTTP route handler, it will process the incoming request and extract the file attached to the 'avatar' field. Multer will then save the file according to the specified storage configuration, which includes the destination directory and filename logic defined earlier. The uploaded file can be accessed in the route handler using req.file.

Stats - Complete Server Functionality

MongoDB Docs

The MongoDB aggregation pipeline is like a factory line for data. Data enters, it goes through different stages like cleaning, sorting, or grouping, and comes out at the end changed in some way. It's a way to process data inside MongoDB.

jobController.js

export const showStats = async (req, res) => {
  let stats = await Job.aggregate([
    { $match: { createdBy: new mongoose.Types.ObjectId(req.user.userId) } },
    { $group: { _id: '$jobStatus', count: { $sum: 1 } } },
  ]);
  stats = stats.reduce((acc, curr) => {
    const { _id: title, count } = curr;
    acc[title] = count;
    return acc;
  }, {});

  const defaultStats = {
    pending: stats.pending || 0,
    interview: stats.interview || 0,
    declined: stats.declined || 0,
  };

  let monthlyApplications = await Job.aggregate([
    { $match: { createdBy: new mongoose.Types.ObjectId(req.user.userId) } },
    {
      $group: {
        _id: { year: { $year: '$createdAt' }, month: { $month: '$createdAt' } },
        count: { $sum: 1 },
      },
    },
    { $sort: { '_id.year': -1, '_id.month': -1 } },
    { $limit: 6 },
  ]);
  monthlyApplications = monthlyApplications
    .map((item) => {
      const {
        _id: { year, month },
        count,
      } = item;

      const date = day()
        .month(month - 1)
        .year(year)
        .format('MMM YY');
      return { date, count };
    })
    .reverse();

  res.status(StatusCodes.OK).json({ defaultStats, monthlyApplications });
};

Commentary

let stats = await Job.aggregate([
  { $match: { createdBy: new mongoose.Types.ObjectId(req.user.userId) } },
  { $group: { _id: '$jobStatus', count: { $sum: 1 } } },
]);

let stats = await Job.aggregate([ ... ]); This line says we're going to perform an aggregation operation on the Job collection in MongoDB and save the result in a variable called stats. The await keyword is used to wait for the operation to finish before continuing, as the operation is asynchronous (i.e., it runs in the background).

{ $match: { createdBy: new mongoose.Types.ObjectId(req.user.userId) } } This is the first stage of the pipeline. It filters the jobs so that only the ones created by the user specified by req.user.userId are passed to the next stage. The new mongoose.Types.ObjectId(req.user.userId) part converts req.user.userId into an ObjectId (which is the format MongoDB uses for ids).

{ $group: { _id: '$jobStatus', count: { $sum: 1 } } } This is the second stage of the pipeline. It groups the remaining jobs by their status (the jobStatus field). For each group, it calculates the count of jobs by adding 1 for each job ({ $sum: 1 }), and stores this in a field called count.

let monthlyApplications = await Job.aggregate([
  { $match: { createdBy: new mongoose.Types.ObjectId(req.user.userId) } },
  {
    $group: {
      _id: { year: { $year: '$createdAt' }, month: { $month: '$createdAt' } },
      count: { $sum: 1 },
    },
  },
  { $sort: { '_id.year': -1, '_id.month': -1 } },
  { $limit: 6 },
]);

let monthlyApplications = await Job.aggregate([ ... ]); This line indicates that an aggregation operation will be performed on the Job collection in MongoDB. The result will be stored in the variable monthlyApplications. The await keyword ensures that the code waits for this operation to complete before proceeding, as it is an asynchronous operation.

{ $match: { createdBy: new mongoose.Types.ObjectId(req.user.userId) } } This is the first stage of the pipeline. It filters the jobs to only those created by the user identified by req.user.userId.

{ $group: { _id: { year: { $year: '$createdAt' }, month: { $month: '$createdAt' } }, count: { $sum: 1 } } } This is the second stage of the pipeline. It groups the remaining jobs based on the year and month when they were created. For each group, it calculates the count of jobs by adding 1 for each job in the group.

{ $sort: { '_id.year': -1, '_id.month': -1 } } This is the third stage of the pipeline. It sorts the groups by year and month in descending order. The -1 indicates descending order. So it starts with the most recent year and month.

{ $limit: 6 } This is the fourth and last stage of the pipeline. It limits the output to the top 6 groups, after sorting. This is effectively getting the job count for the last 6 months.

So, monthlyApplications will be an array with up to 6 elements, each representing the number of jobs created by the user in a specific month and year. The array will be sorted by year and month, starting with the most recent.

Get All Jobs - Server

jobController.js

Query parameters, also known as query strings or URL parameters, are used to pass information to a web server through the URL of a webpage. They are typically appended to the end of a URL after a question mark (?) and separated by ampersands (&). Query parameters consist of a key-value pair, where the key represents the parameter name and the value represents the corresponding data being passed. They are commonly used in web applications to provide additional context or parameters for server-side processing or to filter and sort data.

export const getAllJobs = async (req, res) => {
  const { search, jobStatus, jobType, sort } = req.query;

  const queryObject = {
    createdBy: req.user.userId,
  };

  if (search) {
    queryObject.$or = [
      { position: { $regex: search, $options: 'i' } },
      { company: { $regex: search, $options: 'i' } },
    ];
  }
  if (jobStatus && jobStatus !== 'all') {
    queryObject.jobStatus = jobStatus;
  }
  if (jobType && jobType !== 'all') {
    queryObject.jobType = jobType;
  }

  const sortOptions = {
    newest: '-createdAt',
    oldest: 'createdAt',
    'a-z': 'position',
    'z-a': '-position',
  };

  const sortKey = sortOptions[sort] || sortOptions.newest;

  // setup pagination
  const page = Number(req.query.page) || 1;
  const limit = Number(req.query.limit) || 10;
  const skip = (page - 1) * limit;

  const jobs = await Job.find(queryObject)
    .sort(sortKey)
    .skip(skip)
    .limit(limit);

  const totalJobs = await Job.countDocuments(queryObject);
  const numOfPages = Math.ceil(totalJobs / limit);

import { useContext, createContext } from 'react';
const AllJobsContext = createContext();
export const loader = async ({ request }) => {
  try {
    const params = Object.fromEntries([
      ...new URL(request.url).searchParams.entries(),
    ]);

    const { data } = await customFetch.get('/jobs', {
      params,
    });

    return {
      data,
      searchValues: { ...params },
    };
  } catch (error) {
    toast.error(error.response.data.msg);
    return error;
  }
};

const AllJobs = () => {
  const { data, searchValues } = useLoaderData();

  return (
    <AllJobsContext.Provider value={{ data, searchValues }}>
      <SearchContainer />
      <JobsContainer />
    </AllJobsContext.Provider>
  );
};
export default AllJobs;

export const useAllJobsContext = () => useContext(AllJobsContext);

const params = Object.fromEntries([
  ...new URL(request.url).searchParams.entries(),
]);

new URL(request.url): This creates a new URL object by passing the request.url to the URL constructor. The URL object provides various methods and properties to work with URLs.

.searchParams: The searchParams property of the URL object gives you access to the query parameters in the URL. It is an instance of the URLSearchParams class, which provides methods to manipulate and access the parameters.

.entries(): The entries() method of searchParams returns an iterator containing arrays of key-value pairs for each query parameter. Each array contains two elements: the parameter name and its corresponding value.

([...new URL(request.url).searchParams.entries()]): The spread operator ... is used to convert the iterator obtained from searchParams.entries() into an array. This allows us to pass the array to the Object.fromEntries() method.

Object.fromEntries(): This static method creates an object from an array of key-value pairs. It takes an iterable (in this case, the array of parameter key-value pairs) and returns a new object where the keys and values are derived from the iterable.

Putting it all together, the code retrieves the URL from the request.url property, extracts the search parameters using the searchParams property, converts them into an array of key-value pairs using entries(), and finally uses Object.fromEntries() to create an object with the parameter names as keys and their corresponding values. The resulting object, params, contains all the search parameters from the URL.

Debounce

JS Nuggets - Debounce

In JavaScript, debounce is a way to limit how often a function gets called. It helps prevent rapid or repeated function executions by introducing a delay. This is useful for tasks like handling user input, where you want to wait for a pause before triggering an action to avoid unnecessary processing.

const debounce = (onChange) => {
  let timeout;
  return (e) => {
    const form = e.currentTarget.form;
    clearTimeout(timeout);
    timeout = setTimeout(() => {
      onChange(form);
    }, 2000);
  };
};
<FormRow
  type='search'
  name='search'
  defaultValue={search}
  onChange={debounce((form) => {
    submit(form);
  })}

React Query

React Query is a powerful library that simplifies data fetching, caching, and synchronization in React applications. It provides a declarative and intuitive way to manage remote data by abstracting away the complex logic of fetching and caching data from APIs. React Query offers features like automatic background data refetching, optimistic updates, pagination support, and more, making it easier to build performant and responsive applications that rely on fetching and manipulating data.

React Query Docs

in the client

npm i @tanstack/react-query@4.29.5 @tanstack/react-query-devtools@4.29.6

App.jsx

import { QueryClient, QueryClientProvider } from '@tanstack/react-query';
import { ReactQueryDevtools } from '@tanstack/react-query-devtools';

const queryClient = new QueryClient({
  defaultOptions: {
    queries: {
      staleTime: 1000 * 60 * 5,
    },
  },
});

const App = () => {
  return (
    <QueryClientProvider client={queryClient}>
      <RouterProvider router={router} />
      <ReactQueryDevtools initialIsOpen={false} />
    </QueryClientProvider>
  );
};

Page Error Element

create components/ErrorElement

import { useRouteError } from 'react-router-dom';

const Error = () => {
  const error = useRouteError();
  console.log(error);
  return <h4>There was an error...</h4>;
};
export default ErrorElement;

Stats.jsx

export const loader = async () => {
  const response = await customFetch.get('/jobs/stats');
  return response.data;
};

App.jsx

{
  path: 'stats',
  element: <Stats />,
  loader: statsLoader,
  errorElement: <h4>There was an error...</h4>
},

{
  path: 'stats',
  element: <Stats />,
  loader: statsLoader,
  errorElement: <ErrorElement />,
},

First Query

navigate to stats

Stats.jsx

import { ChartsContainer, StatsContainer } from '../components';
import customFetch from '../utils/customFetch';
import { useLoaderData } from 'react-router-dom';
import { useQuery } from '@tanstack/react-query';

export const loader = async () => {
  return null;
};

const Stats = () => {
  const response = useQuery({
    queryKey: ['stats'],
    queryFn: () => customFetch.get('/jobs/stats'),
  });
  console.log(response);
  if (response.isLoading) {
    return <h1>Loading...</h1>;
  }
  return <h1>react query</h1>;
  return (
    <>
      <StatsContainer defaultStats={defaultStats} />
      {monthlyApplications?.length > 1 && (
        <ChartsContainer data={monthlyApplications} />
      )}
    </>
  );
};
export default Stats;

const data = useQuery({
  queryKey: ['stats'],
  queryFn: () => customFetch.get('/jobs/stats'),
});

const data = useQuery({ ... });: This line declares a constant variable named data and assigns it the result of the useQuery hook. The useQuery hook is provided by React Query and is used to perform data fetching.

queryKey: ['stats'],: The queryKey property is an array that serves as a unique identifier for the query. In this case, the query key is set to ['stats'], indicating that this query is fetching statistics related to jobs.

queryFn: () => customFetch.get('/jobs/stats'),: The queryFn property specifies the function that will be executed when the query is triggered. In this case, it uses an arrow function that calls customFetch.get('/jobs/stats'). The customFetch object is likely a custom wrapper around the fetch function or an external HTTP client library, used to make the actual API request to retrieve job statistics.In React Query, the queryFn property expects a function that returns a promise. The promise should resolve with the data you want to fetch and store in the query cache.

customFetch.get('/jobs/stats'): This line is making an HTTP GET request to the /jobs/stats endpoint, which is the API route that provides the job statistics data.

Get Stats with React Query

const statsQuery = {
  queryKey: ['stats'],
  queryFn: async () => {
    const response = await customFetch.get('/jobs/stats');
    return response.data;

};

export const loader = async () => {

const Stats = () => {
  const { isLoading, isError, data } = useQuery(statsQuery);

  if (isLoading) return <h4>Loading...</h4>;
  if (isError) return <h4>Error...</h4>;
  // after loading/error or ?.
  const { defaultStats, monthlyApplications } = data;

  return (
    <>
      <StatsContainer defaultStats={defaultStats} />
      {monthlyApplications?.length > 1 && (
        <ChartsContainer data={monthlyApplications} />
      )}
