How to build a CRUD application with mongodb in NestJs
-
Step 1:[InstallingRequiredPackage]
- Install Mongoose by running "npm install --save mongoose"
- [Optional] install "class-validator" package for validating schema
-
Step 2: [ConnectingMongodbToTheApplication]
- After installing required packages we can import the MongooseModule into the root AppModule "app.module.ts"
-
Step 3:[SchemaDefinition]
- Create schema directory in src folder with a "students.schema.ts" fileName
- Define your schema in the file you create inside schema directory
-
Step 4:[Dto] "an object that defines how the data will be sent over the network"
- Create Dto for post and put route as needed
-
Step 5:[HowToWriteController]
- Define a controller class in students folder "students.controller.ts" to configure how your route "/students" will be handled for different METHODS (Get,Post,Delete,Put)
-
Step 6:[SerivesForBusinessLogic]
- Controllers need services to serve routes with the business logic. For that create a file "students.service.ts"
- Use models inside the services to talk with the database and other 3rd party api's to serve the business logic.
-
Step 7:[StudentModule]
- Create a new file inside students folder to configure the module with the controller and provider.
- Import the controller "students.controller.ts" and the service "students.serivce.ts" as provider for the module
- the last part is to connect this student.module class to "App.module.ts" in root directory
