Summary
In this chapter, we covered full-stack architecture. You learned about building a minimal MEAN stack. You now know how to create a monorepo for a full-stack application and configure a Node.js server with TypeScript. You learned about monorepos, containerizing a Node.js server, and declaratively defining infrastructure with Docker Compose. Using Docker Compose with CircleCI, we saw how you can verify your infrastructure in a CI environment.
You learned how to design a RESTful API using OpenAPI and GraphQL using Apollo, set up an Express.js app, and configure it such that you can generate interactive documentation for your APIs. You learned about the benefits of using DocumentTS with MongoDB.
You then implemented a JWT-based authentication service with an authenticate middleware to secure API endpoints and allow for RBAC. Finally, you implemented two custom authentication providers in Angular. For REST, we used HttpClient, and for GraphQL, Apollo Client.
