Express MongoDB Mongoose Query Fundamentals

Practical guide to mastering data modelling and database queries using the Express Framework + MongoDB + Mongoose stack

What you'll learn
- Set up a complete development environment using Docker, VSCode, and Node.js tools to run an Express.js app with MongoDB.
- Design robust MongoDB schemas with Mongoose, including data types, validation, and relationships.
- Perform core CRUD operations (create, read, update, delete) using Mongoose in an Express.js API.
- Retrieve, sort, project, and paginate documents efficiently using Mongoose query methods.
- Build complex and dynamic filters using comparison, logical, and element-based operators.
- Access and filter nested, embedded, and referenced data using population and advanced querying techniques.
- Use the aggregation pipeline to group, summarize, and analyze data with operators like $sum, $avg, $lookup, $min, and $max.

Requirements
- I will take you through the whole course step-by-step. You would benefit from having basic JavaScript knowledge, familiarity with Node.js and Express, an understanding of SQL or database concepts, comfort using a code editor like VSCode, and basic command-line experience.
