mine) on the content you don't need. In the end, you will have the skills to
create a Movies review app and deploy it to the Internet.

The goal of this book is to teach you MEVN stack development in a

manageable way without overwhelming you. We focus only on the essentials
and cover the material in a hands-on practice manner for you to code along.
Working Through This Book
This book is purposely broken down into short chapters where the
development process of each chapter will center on different essential topics.
The book takes a practical hands on approach to learning through practice.
You learn best when you code along with the examples in the book.

Requirements
No previous knowledge on Node.js or Vue development is required, but you
should have basic programming knowledge. It will be a helpful advantage if
you could read through my Node, Express book first which will provide you
with better insight and deeper knowledge into Node. But even if you have not
done so, you should still be able to follow along.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
Welcome to Beginning MEVN Stack! This book focuses on the key tasks and
concepts to get you started to learn and build MEVN stack applications in a
faster pace. It is designed for readers who don ’ t need all the details about
MEVN at this point in the learning curve but concentrate on what you really
need to know.
So what ’ s the MEVN stack? The MEVN stack is a popular stack of
technologies for building a modern Single Page Application. MEVN stands
for MongoDB, Express, Vue and Node.js:
- Node.js is one of the most popular server-side frameworks that allow
us to execute JavaScript code in a web server.
- Express is a web application framework for Node.js which makes
application development in Node easier and faster. Node and Express
together form the middle-tier web server of the stack.
- MongoDB is a NoSQL database which stores data persistently in the
form of collections and documents.
- Vue is a frontend framework to build user interfaces.
Another popular stack variant is the MERN where we use React as the
frontend. These frontends make up Single Page Applications (SPAs) which
avoid reloading the page entirely and just fetches relevant portions of the
page from the server to display new content.

The App We Will Be Building

We will build a Movie reviews app which lets users view and search for
movies. They can also log in and post reviews on the movies (fig. 1a, 1b, 1c).
Figure 1a – Home Page with search functionality
Figure 1b – Movie page listing reviews

Figure 1c – Create Review

Users can see the list of reviews in a Movie ’ s page and post/edit/delete their
own review if they are logged in. They will not be able edit/delete other ’ s
reviews though. Through this app, we will learn a lot of concepts and solidify
our Node.js, Express, Vue and MongoDB knowledge.
We will first talk about MongoDB and how to host our database in the cloud
using MongoDB Atlas. We will then create the backend of the app using
Node.js and Express. Our server will interact with the database using the
native MongoDB JavaScript library. After that, we will create the frontend
with Vue and connect the frontend to the backend to complete our MEVN
stack app. In the last chapter, we will deploy our Node, Express backend on
Heroku, and Vue frontend on Netlify, to run both backend and frontend in the
cloud.
So, the overall structure of our app will be:
- the ‘ M ’ of the stack, MongoDB will be hosted on MongoDB Atlas.
- the ‘ E ’ and ‘ N ’ , Express and Node runs the backend server
(Express being part of Node) and exposes an API. Hosted on Heroku.
- the ‘ V ’ , Vue frontend calls the API and renders the user interface on
the client ’ s browser. Hosted on Netlify.
We will begin by going through the MongoDB database layer in the next
chapter.
CHAPTER 2: MONGODB OVERVIEW
As indicated by the ‘ M ’ in MEVN, we will use MongoDB as the backend
database for our app. MongoDB is a NoSQL database. Before we talk about
what is a NoSQL database, let ’ s first talk about relational databases so that
we can provide a meaningful contrast. If you have not heard of a relational
database before, you can think of relational databases like spreadsheets where
data is structured and each entry is generally a row in a table. Relational
databases are generally controlled with SQL or Structured Query Language.
Examples of popular relational databases are MySQL, SQL Server and
PostgreSQL.
NoSQL databases in contrast are often called non-relational databases, where
NoSQL means anything that isn ’ t an SQL (see how it infers the popularity
of SQL?). It might seem like NoSQL is a protest over SQL but it actually
refers to a database not structured like a spreadsheet, i.e. less rigid than SQL
databases.
The architecture of MongoDB is a NoSQL database which stores information
in the form of collections and documents. MongoDB stores one or more
collections. A collection represents a single entity in our app, for example in
an e-commerce app, we need entities like categories, users, products. Each of
these entities will be a single collection in our database.
If we were to map similar concepts in relational databases and MongoDB:
- a table in a relational database would compare to a collection in
MongoDB.
- each row in a table (in a relational database) can be thought of as a
document in a collection (in MongoDB).
- a join operation in SQL can be done with $lookup in MongoDB.
- instead of foreign keys, we utilize reference in MongoDB.
In MongoDB, a collection contains documents. A document is an instance of
the entity containing the various relevant field values to represent the
document. For example, a product document will contain title, description
and price fields. Each field is a key-value pair e.g. price: 26, title: "Learning Node" .
Documents look a lot like JSON objects with various properties (though they
are technically Binary JSON or BSON). An example of a collection-
document tree is shown below:
Database
→ Products collection
→ Product document
{
price: 26,
title: "Learning Node",
description: "Top Notch Development book",
expiry date: 27-3-2020
}
→ Product document
…
→ Users collection
→ User document
{
username: "123xyz",
contact:
{
phone: "123-456-7890",
email: "[email protected]"
}
}
→ User document
…

You can see in the above that we have a variety of relationships. A user has a
username and contact. Within contact, you have phone and email. The BSON
format provides for a wide variety of support for data types like strings,
integers etc.
Let ’ s create our database in the next chapter.
CHAPTER 3: SETTING UP MONGODB
ATLAS CLOUD DATABASE
The fastest and easiest way to get started with MongoDB is by using its cloud
service MongoDB Atlas to host our database on the cloud. One way of
setting up MongoDB is by running MongoDB on a local machine for
development and testing. But MongoDB Atlas makes things a lot easier even
if we are just doing a local project. Also, our entire backend and frontend will
eventually be deployed to the cloud anyway.
First, sign up for a MongoDB Atlas account
(https://www.mongodb.com/download-center). Under 'Deploy a free cluster',
create a new account and click ‘ Get started free ’ (fig. 1).

Figure 1
You will be brought to a ‘ Build a New Cluster ’ page. Under ‘ Global
Cluster Configuration ’ , choose ‘ AWS ’ as cloud provider (because they
provide a free account without having to enter credit card details). Under
‘ North America ’ , select ‘ North Virginia ’ where we can get a free tier for
our MongoDB (fig. 2).
Figure 2
Next under 'Cluster Tier', choose the ‘ M0 ’ free tier (fig. 3).

Figure 3
The good thing about Amazon AWS is that we can experiment without
having to worry about making unintentional mistakes and getting a huge bill
from Amazon. When your website gets more popular with more users, you
can then scale up at a later stage. Keep the other default options and select
'Create Cluster.' It will prompt you saying that it takes 7-10 minutes to set up
everything on AWS (fig. 4).

Figure 4
Next, in the left panel, under ‘ Security ’ , click on ‘ Database Access ’
where you do not yet have a user. Create a database user by clicking on
‘ Add New User ’ (fig. 5) and provide him with ‘ Read and write to any
database privileges ’ .

clown:—

Dear public, you and I of late

Have dealt so much in fun;
