WEBVTT 00:03.820 --> 00:04.690 Hated everyone. 00:04.750 --> 00:05.240 They share. 00:05.260 --> 00:06.670 And welcome to another video. 00:06.670 --> 00:10.810 And in this video, we are going to talk about tools now as a back end developer. 00:10.810 --> 00:15.040 Eventually, you are going to collect a whole lot of tools that are really, really important for you 00:15.040 --> 00:16.300 and for your workflow. 00:16.330 --> 00:18.730 We're going to start with absolute basics. 00:18.730 --> 00:23.230 These are the must have for every back end developer or if you want to create everything. 00:23.230 --> 00:28.000 Now, as I mentioned, we are going to focus majority of our attention for building the rest API. 00:28.000 --> 00:33.520 So we need some specialized tools to actually test them because our browser can only major can send 00:33.520 --> 00:35.590 the get request for the post. 00:35.590 --> 00:38.500 There is a lot more involvement that is needed and we don't want that. 00:38.500 --> 00:40.660 We want just to be able to do our job. 00:40.660 --> 00:45.580 So this is the whole list of our entirety of the tools that we are going to use, but we are going to 00:45.580 --> 00:48.280 have a little bit of debate around every one of them. 00:48.400 --> 00:50.650 The first one being V is code. 00:50.650 --> 00:55.420 Now V is code these days is my choice for writing all of the code and everywhere. 00:55.450 --> 01:00.240 This is so much of an editor which I am falling in love and I've already followed in. 01:00.250 --> 01:04.330 You can definitely use sublime text vs code or maybe something else. 01:04.330 --> 01:05.980 Atom, whatever is your favorite. 01:05.980 --> 01:09.490 This is the one that I'll be using and I highly recommend to give it a try. 01:09.520 --> 01:13.690 Now let me show you that how this is going to look like and how this is going to work, because there's 01:13.690 --> 01:16.360 a lot of debate that runs around with this vs code. 01:16.630 --> 01:22.480 Now this is the VS code in case you want the same kind of a look and feel, just go ahead and search 01:22.480 --> 01:24.670 for the teacher theme. 01:24.670 --> 01:27.610 Dark and this is the first one that I use. 01:27.610 --> 01:28.810 This is a customized theme. 01:28.810 --> 01:32.920 I have rolled it out for everyone because a whole lot of people ask me that what kind of theme you are 01:32.920 --> 01:33.580 using. 01:33.580 --> 01:36.070 There is not too much of the heaviness and the theme. 01:36.070 --> 01:38.920 It's pretty light and it's really good for teaching purposes. 01:38.920 --> 01:43.630 You'll eventually notice that how easily I am able to highlight on the things and how well the color 01:43.630 --> 01:44.410 codes are. 01:44.410 --> 01:51.040 So this is all what we are going to be using now apart from this, if you want to have more of the stuff, 01:51.040 --> 01:54.370 there is another add on that I use which is prettier. 01:54.370 --> 01:56.650 So we're going to go for that. 01:57.040 --> 01:58.900 So this is the majorly I use. 01:58.900 --> 02:01.810 What prettier helps me is to make beautify my code. 02:01.810 --> 02:06.970 If I'm running a little bit off on the indentation, it helps me to get back onto that. 02:06.970 --> 02:10.000 It also helps me to align my code and a whole bunch of other things. 02:10.000 --> 02:16.150 So I highly recommend to use this editor that said that all we are going to be using apart from that, 02:16.150 --> 02:20.080 in case you want to use something else, go ahead and feel free to explore your own editor. 02:20.080 --> 02:21.460 This is what I'll be using. 02:21.460 --> 02:22.600 So that is all clear. 02:22.600 --> 02:25.690 Up next one comes up is the postman. 02:25.780 --> 02:31.660 Now, sometimes the debate comes around that, hey, why don't you use some extension like thunder client 02:31.660 --> 02:34.840 right into the right into the vs code and use that. 02:34.930 --> 02:36.880 Now of course that is a great thing. 02:36.880 --> 02:40.480 And you can also use this, you can go ahead and create a new request. 02:40.480 --> 02:43.630 It gives you almost all the options that you are looking for. 02:43.750 --> 02:47.590 But the thing is that I'm not that much familiar with the Thunder client. 02:47.590 --> 02:50.680 I have talked and discussed in detail with the founder of Thunder Client. 02:50.680 --> 02:56.590 It's a great project, but we will not be using it as variety and majority of the developers are still 02:56.590 --> 02:56.980 on post. 02:56.980 --> 02:59.800 When I will give you all the reasons why it is all there. 02:59.800 --> 03:01.420 And yes, it is a lightweight. 03:01.420 --> 03:02.230 It's amazing. 03:02.230 --> 03:04.150 But not for the pro usage. 03:04.150 --> 03:08.440 Pro usage, you need something a little bit more that we'll be going for. 03:08.440 --> 03:10.000 So why we are going for that. 03:10.000 --> 03:15.190 So instead of using the add on, which is Thunder client, I'll be going for the full fledged postman 03:15.820 --> 03:19.060 and I'll tell you the reason why we are doing that right up here. 03:19.360 --> 03:23.590 The first thing which you are going to love absolute about is the ability to create the environment 03:23.590 --> 03:27.580 because you'll be writing a whole lot of APIs and there are different environments for them. 03:27.580 --> 03:32.680 So I'm running on Port 4000, some running on Port 5000, and a whole lot of different test suites and 03:32.680 --> 03:34.690 environments and variables that goes on. 03:34.690 --> 03:39.190 So you can create your own dedicated environment, which I'll teach you that how to do that, we'll 03:39.190 --> 03:41.770 be doing that and that is available up here. 03:41.800 --> 03:43.990 Also, you can create your own APIs. 03:43.990 --> 03:49.210 Now, this is something very fantastic in that if I just go ahead and create an API and call it as just 03:49.220 --> 03:50.920 say test and this is version one. 03:50.920 --> 03:55.210 And notice here it says schema type is open API and the YAML file we are supporting. 03:55.210 --> 03:56.260 I'll discuss more than that. 03:56.260 --> 03:57.820 In fact, I'll teach you more on that. 03:57.820 --> 04:03.730 And if I just go ahead and create this API right now here, I can go ahead and do a whole lot of planning 04:03.730 --> 04:04.210 up here. 04:04.210 --> 04:09.010 I can go ahead and say that this is my API and I want to write documentation on that. 04:09.010 --> 04:11.320 I want to write an environment variable on that. 04:11.320 --> 04:13.510 In fact, I can write the definitions like this. 04:13.510 --> 04:15.760 This is YAML and you're going to see this a lot. 04:15.970 --> 04:19.000 This is how we define the swaggers and all those API. 04:19.000 --> 04:20.320 So this is all I can do. 04:20.320 --> 04:22.420 I can define my environments up here. 04:22.420 --> 04:24.610 I can even create my mock servers. 04:24.700 --> 04:27.130 I'll talk more on that eventually in the future. 04:27.130 --> 04:31.600 Basically, the whole idea is if you just go ahead and create a mock server, it allows you to send, 04:31.600 --> 04:35.830 get posted any kind of request and you can craft your response just to test other things. 04:36.100 --> 04:41.140 You can also monitor, you can run the entire collection of APIs and can see how responsive they are 04:41.140 --> 04:43.900 and what kind of feedback you are getting with each one of them. 04:44.020 --> 04:47.050 Latest They have released the entirety of the flow. 04:47.620 --> 04:49.630 Now this flow is fantastic. 04:49.660 --> 04:51.640 You can go ahead and decide that. 04:51.640 --> 04:53.260 I want to go ahead and do some stuff. 04:53.260 --> 04:58.300 For example, I want to go ahead and create an event that, hey, I want to send a request or I want 04:58.300 --> 05:01.840 to create available that just say I want to send a request and this request. 05:01.930 --> 05:06.910 Can be into any of my collection or API that I've created, and I can see that how the entirety of the 05:06.910 --> 05:07.960 flow is going on. 05:08.230 --> 05:14.320 The best part about the this postman or any other similar application is I can create collections of 05:14.320 --> 05:19.470 all the requests, get put, post, whatever I'm using, and I can just go ahead and share this collection. 05:19.480 --> 05:24.250 I can make it a folder, send it to my frontend developer guy or other fellow developer who I'm working 05:24.250 --> 05:26.860 with and he can quickly and easily understand this. 05:26.860 --> 05:31.000 So the shared ability makes Postman really popular among the developers. 05:31.000 --> 05:36.010 And now you know the reason why everybody loves it and use it in case you want to really become a pro 05:36.010 --> 05:40.110 developer, you need to get your hands dirty with the postman and get familiarity with it. 05:40.120 --> 05:43.870 When you'll be working in the corporate, you will be using it day in, day out. 05:43.870 --> 05:46.840 So make sure you at least get friendly with the postman. 05:47.050 --> 05:52.540 Now, apart from postman, sometimes people also bring in another great tool, by the way, which is 05:52.540 --> 05:53.470 insomnia. 05:53.500 --> 05:55.570 Also kind of a brother of postman. 05:55.690 --> 05:59.530 And these days, postman is providing a more feature than this. 05:59.530 --> 06:01.690 But this is also being loved by a whole lot of people. 06:01.690 --> 06:02.500 Same functionality. 06:02.500 --> 06:07.450 You can create your servers, you can create all of your path, get post put and they're nicely colour 06:07.450 --> 06:09.250 coded even better than Postman. 06:09.250 --> 06:13.840 And also you can have your old request, you can have all of your schemas defined. 06:13.840 --> 06:17.710 So this is really great and if you want you can use that. 06:17.710 --> 06:22.540 Now it depends wholly on what organization you are working on that sometimes they work in insomnia, 06:22.540 --> 06:23.830 sometimes they work on postman. 06:23.830 --> 06:25.840 I have found mostly they use postman. 06:26.020 --> 06:30.550 Okay, that's a lot of debate about the tools that we're using, but it's important that you understand 06:30.550 --> 06:31.510 all of these tools. 06:31.720 --> 06:33.310 Next one is Node.js. 06:33.340 --> 06:35.560 We won't be having any debate around it. 06:35.860 --> 06:37.000 I don't think you need it. 06:37.000 --> 06:38.320 Video on installing the node. 06:38.320 --> 06:39.390 Just just click click next. 06:39.400 --> 06:42.460 Agree IOK and all of that for the browser. 06:42.460 --> 06:44.560 I'll be using Chrome but not majority. 06:44.560 --> 06:47.080 Majority of the time I'll be using just postman and vs code. 06:47.080 --> 06:49.900 We won't be firing too much of request from the chrome itself. 06:50.200 --> 06:55.120 You will also need git and in order to make sure that you have the get it's really easy. 06:55.150 --> 07:00.880 Just go on to the git seam and you'll find the very first website. 07:00.880 --> 07:06.310 Go ahead and download the git for the operating system that you are using in case you don't have much 07:06.310 --> 07:09.460 familiarity and understanding about what git is how to use it. 07:09.490 --> 07:10.510 No worries at all. 07:10.510 --> 07:16.480 You can go to our resource blog, learn code online, search up here and just go ahead and write get 07:16.690 --> 07:21.340 and all you got to do is read this very first article which says Get all in one cheat sheet. 07:21.340 --> 07:26.500 Although this is really an overkill, it gives you a whole lot of in-depth detail about pretty much 07:26.500 --> 07:30.130 everything that you want to do with the git, but this is all we'll be needing now. 07:30.130 --> 07:31.600 Don't you worry too much on that. 07:31.600 --> 07:37.120 I will introduce you a minor minority about the git and we'll introduce you in the very first section 07:37.120 --> 07:37.540 itself. 07:37.540 --> 07:42.880 So you'll get a kind of familiarity with that coming up onto the last one, which is MongoDB. 07:42.910 --> 07:45.700 Throughout this course we will be using MongoDB. 07:45.730 --> 07:46.960 How we want to use that. 07:46.960 --> 07:49.720 It's totally up to you and this is not too much of a requirement. 07:49.720 --> 07:54.670 You can use an online version of it and you can use an offline version or locally installed version. 07:54.670 --> 07:59.830 I personally recommend to go ahead take the pain of installing it locally, which is absolutely good 07:59.830 --> 08:00.370 for you. 08:00.400 --> 08:05.560 I will add up more videos on the installation on both Windows and Mac, but in case you want to go ahead, 08:05.560 --> 08:06.880 give it a try on your own. 08:06.880 --> 08:08.680 It is super easy to do it. 08:08.710 --> 08:11.140 You can go ahead and say I want to install MongoDB. 08:11.170 --> 08:12.640 Obviously Community Edition. 08:12.640 --> 08:14.050 Let's start with a Windows. 08:14.050 --> 08:16.510 This instruction cannot be much more clear than this. 08:16.510 --> 08:20.680 You scroll a little bit, look for the installer file, you go ahead and download and install it. 08:20.800 --> 08:25.480 Most importantly, a lot of people forget to do some things, which is if you scroll it a little bit 08:25.480 --> 08:29.740 more, they're going to say that, hey, you need to create some folders. 08:29.740 --> 08:36.640 So creating a database directory, so go into CD slash C drive and create these two directories and 08:36.640 --> 08:37.720 that's it, that's it. 08:37.720 --> 08:40.210 Your MongoDB will be all up and running and installed. 08:40.210 --> 08:41.920 Same goes for the Mac guys. 08:42.070 --> 08:47.770 You need to just tap it on the brew, make sure you have installed Xcode toolsets and just tap it on 08:47.770 --> 08:49.660 the brew and just get it ready. 08:49.660 --> 08:54.520 And of course you need to also create the database folders, data and DB and that's pretty much it. 08:54.520 --> 08:55.540 That's all you got to do. 08:55.540 --> 09:00.070 But still, don't you worry, I'll add a videos for the installation of Mac and Windows both. 09:00.070 --> 09:07.630 And also I will add the videos for having the MongoDB on Cloud Atlas so that you can have MongoDB up 09:07.630 --> 09:08.230 and running. 09:08.800 --> 09:13.030 Okay, quite a lot of detail video about discussion, what kind of tools that we are having. 09:13.030 --> 09:15.190 Are these the only tools that will be working up? 09:15.190 --> 09:16.150 No, not at all. 09:16.150 --> 09:19.330 There are a couple of modes that I'll introduce you in the very first section. 09:19.330 --> 09:23.980 They are required to make sure their application is hosted up and running on some platform. 09:23.980 --> 09:27.340 We'll be talking about all of them in the detail in the upcoming videos. 09:27.340 --> 09:31.510 First, go ahead, grab all of your tools and I'm going to shortly catch you up in the next video.
