✅ CRUD Operations in Back-End Development 🛠📦

Now that you’ve built a basic server, let’s take it a step further by adding full CRUD functionality — the foundation of most web apps.

🔁 What is CRUD?

CRUD stands for:

⦁ C reate → Add new data (e.g., new user)
⦁ R ead → Get existing data (e.g., list users)
⦁ U pdate → Modify existing data (e.g., change user name)
⦁ D elete → Remove data (e.g., delete user)

These are the 4 basic operations every back-end should support.

🧪 Let’s Build a CRUD API

We’ll use the same setup as before (Node.js + Express) and simulate a database with an in-memory array.

Step 1: Setup Project (if not already)

npm init -y
npm install express

Step 2: Create server.js

const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const port = 3000;

app.use(express.json()); // Middleware to parse JSON

let users = [
  { id: 1, name: 'Alice'},
  { id: 2, name: 'Bob'}
];

// READ - Get all users
app.get('/users', (req, res) => {
  res.json(users);
});

// CREATE - Add a new user
app.post('/users', (req, res) => {
  const newUser = {
    id: users.length + 1,
    name: req.body.name
  };
  users.push(newUser);
  res.status(201).json(newUser);
});

// UPDATE - Modify a user
app.put('/users/:id', (req, res) => {
  const userId = parseInt(req.params.id);
  const user = users.find(u => u.id === userId);
  if (!user) return res.status(404).send('User not found');
  user.name = req.body.name;
  res.json(user);
});

// DELETE - Remove a user
app.delete('/users/:id', (req, res) => {
  const userId = parseInt(req.params.id);
  users = users.filter(u => u.id!== userId);
  res.sendStatus(204);
});

app.listen(port, () => {
  console.log(`CRUD API running at http://localhost:${port}`);
});

Step 3: Test Your API

Use tools like Postman or cURL to test:

⦁ GET /users → List users
⦁ POST /users → Add user { "name": "Charlie"}
⦁ PUT /users/1 → Update user 1’s name
⦁ DELETE /users/2 → Delete user 2

🎯 Why This Matters

⦁ CRUD is the backbone of dynamic apps like blogs, e-commerce, social media, and more
⦁ Once you master CRUD, you can connect your app to a real database and build full-stack apps

Next Steps

⦁ Add validation (e.g., check if name is empty)
⦁ Connect to MongoDB or PostgreSQL
⦁ Add authentication (JWT, sessions)
⦁ Deploy your app to the cloud

💡 Pro Tip: Try building a Notes app or a Product Inventory system using CRUD!

🔰 Container queries in CSS

If you have not tried out container queries yet, would highly recommend that you do 🤩

This is a relatively new CSS feature, which is similar to media queries. While media queries are based on the dimension of the entire page, container queries are specific to individual elements in a page.

👉 Here we define a "container" and conditionally style elements inside the container based on the dimensions of the container

👉 Some other examples include, when you want to style an individual card based on its size

💻 Back-End Development Basics ⚙️

Back-end development is the part of web development that works behind the scenes. It handles data, business logic, and communication between the front-end (what users see) and the database.

What is Back-End Development?

- It powers websites and apps by processing user requests, storing and retrieving data, and performing operations on the server.
- Unlike front-end (design & interactivity), back-end focuses on the logic, database, and servers.

Core Components of Back-End

1. Server
   A server is a computer that listens to requests (like loading a page or submitting a form) and sends back responses.

2. Database
   Stores all the data your app needs — user info, posts, products, etc. 
   Types of databases: 
   - _SQL (Relational):_ MySQL, PostgreSQL 
   - _NoSQL (Non-relational):_ MongoDB, Firebase

3. APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) 
   Endpoints that let the front-end and back-end communicate. For example, getting a list of users or saving a new post.

4. Back-End Language & Framework 
   Common languages: JavaScript (Node.js), Python, PHP, Ruby, Java

Frameworks make coding easier: Express (Node.js), Django (Python), Laravel (PHP), Rails (Ruby)

How Does Back-End Work?

User → Front-End → Sends Request → Server (Back-End) → Processes Request → Queries Database → Sends Data Back → Front-End → User

Simple Example: Create a Back-End Server Using Node.js & Express

Let’s build a tiny app that sends a list of users when you visit a specific URL.

Step 1: Setup your environment

- Install Node.js from nodejs.org 
- Create a project folder and open terminal there 
- Initialize project & install Express framework: 

npm init -y
npm install express

Step 2: Create a file server.js

const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const port = 3000;

// Sample data - list of users
const users = [
  { id: 1, name: 'Alice' },
  { id: 2, name: 'Bob' }
];

// Create a route to handle GET requests at /users
app.get('/users', (req, res) => {
  res.json(users);  // Send users data as JSON response
});

// Start the server
app.listen(port, () => {
  console.log(Server running on http://localhost:${port});
});

Step 3: Run the server

In terminal, run:

node server.js
Step 4: Test the server

Open your browser and go to: 
http://localhost:3000/users

You should see:

[
  { "id": 1, "name": "Alice" },
  { "id": 2, "name": "Bob" }
]

What Did You Build?

- A simple server that _listens_ on port 3000 
- An _API endpoint_ /users that returns a list of users in JSON format 
- A basic back-end application that can be connected to a front-end

Why Is This Important?

- This is the foundation for building web apps that require user data, logins, content management, and more. 
- Understanding servers, APIs, and databases helps you build full-stack applications.

What’s Next?

- Add routes for other operations like adding (POST), updating (PUT), and deleting (DELETE) data. 
- Connect your server to a real database like MongoDB or MySQL. 
- Handle errors, validations, and security (authentication, authorization). 
- Learn to deploy your back-end app to the cloud (Heroku, AWS).

🎯 Pro Tip: Start simple and gradually add features. Try building a small app like a To-Do list with a back-end database.

✅ JavaScript Advanced Concepts You Should Know 🔍💻

These concepts separate beginner JS from production-level code. Understanding them helps with async patterns, memory, and modular apps.

1️⃣ Closures 
A function that "closes over" variables from its outer scope, maintaining access even after the outer function returns. Useful for data privacy and state management.

function outer() {
  let count = 0;
  return function inner() {
    count++;
    console.log(count);
  };
}
const counter = outer();
counter(); // 1
counter(); // 2

2️⃣ Promises & Async/Await 
Promises handle async operations; async/await makes them read like sync code. Essential for APIs, timers, and non-blocking I/O.

// Promise chain
fetch(url).then(res => res.json()).then(data => console.log(data)).catch(err => console.error(err));

// Async/Await (cleaner)
async function getData() {
  try {
    const res = await fetch(url);
    const data = await res.json();
    console.log(data);
  } catch (err) {
    console.error(err);
  }
}

3️⃣ Hoisting 
Declarations (var, function) are moved to the top of their scope during compilation, but initializations stay put. let/const are block-hoisted but in a "temporal dead zone."

console.log(x); // undefined (hoisted, but not initialized)
var x = 5;

console.log(y); // ReferenceError (temporal dead zone)
let y = 10;

4️⃣ The Event Loop 
JS is single-threaded; the event loop processes the call stack, then microtasks (Promises), then macrotasks (setTimeout). Explains why async code doesn't block.

5️⃣ this Keyword 
Dynamic binding: refers to the object calling the method. Changes with call site, new, or explicit binding.

const obj = {
  name: "Sam",
  greet() {
    console.log(`Hi, I'm ${this.name}`);
  },
};
obj.greet(); // "Hi, I'm Sam"

// In arrow function, this is lexical
const arrowGreet = () => console.log(this.name); // undefined in global

6️⃣ Spread & Rest Operators 
Spread (...) expands iterables; rest collects arguments into arrays.

const nums = [1, 2, 3];
const more = [...nums, 4]; // [1, 2, 3, 4]

function sum(...args) {
  return args.reduce((a, b) => a + b, 0);
}
sum(1, 2, 3); // 6

7️⃣ Destructuring 
Extract values from arrays/objects into variables.

const person = { name: "John", age: 30 };
const { name, age } = person; // name = "John", age = 30

const arr = [1, 2, 3];
const [first, second] = arr; // first = 1, second = 2

8️⃣ Call, Apply, Bind 
Explicitly set 'this' context. Call/apply invoke immediately; bind returns a new function.

function greet() {
  console.log(`Hi, I'm ${this.name}`);
}
greet.call({ name: "Tom" }); // "Hi, I'm Tom"

const boundGreet = greet.bind({ name: "Alice" });
boundGreet(); // "Hi, I'm Alice"

9️⃣ IIFE (Immediately Invoked Function Expression) 
Self-executing function to create private scope, avoiding globals.

(function() {
  console.log("Runs immediately");
  let privateVar = "hidden";
})();

🔟 Modules (import/export) 
ES6 modules for code organization and dependency management.

// math.js
export const add = (a, b) => a + b;
export default function multiply(a, b) { return a * b; }

// main.js
import multiply, { add } from './math.js';
console.log(add(2, 3)); // 5

💡 Practice these in a Node.js REPL or browser console to see how they interact.

✅ Git Basics You Should Know 🛠📁

Git is a version control system used to track changes in your code, collaborate with others, and manage project history efficiently.

1️⃣ What is Git?
Git lets you save snapshots of your code, go back to previous versions, and collaborate with teams without overwriting each other’s work. 📸

2️⃣ Install & Setup Git
git --version # Check if Git is installed
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "you@example.com"

3️⃣ Initialize a Repository
git init # Start a new local Git repo 🚀

4️⃣ Basic Workflow
git add . # Stage all changes ➕
git commit -m "Message" # Save a snapshot 💾
git push # Push to remote (like GitHub) ☁️

5️⃣ Check Status & History
git status # See current changes 🚦
git log # View commit history 📜

6️⃣ Clone a Repo
git clone https://github.com/username/repo.git 👯

7️⃣ Branching
git branch feature-x # Create a branch 🌳
git checkout feature-x # Switch to it ↔️
git merge feature-x # Merge with main branch 🤝

8️⃣ Undo Mistakes ↩️
git checkout -- file.txt # Discard changes
git reset HEAD~1 # Undo last commit (local)
git revert <commit_id> # Revert commit (safe)

9️⃣ Working with GitHub
– Create repo on GitHub ✨
– Link local repo:
git remote add origin <repo_url>
git push -u origin main

🔟 Git Best Practices
– Commit often with clear messages ✅
– Use branches for features/bugs 💡
– Pull before push 🔄
– Never commit sensitive data 🔒

💡 Tip: Use GitHub Desktop or VS Code Git UI if CLI feels hard at first.
