Summary

JavaScript doesn't exist in isolation! MongoDB is a great companion to JavaScript as it is designed to be object-oriented and relies on a JavaScript-friendly querying syntax. We've learned the principles behind TDD, worked with the MVC paradigm, and expanded our game a bit more.

As with all coding exercises, be sure to consider the use cases when using a database such as MongoDB: while MongoDB's syntax isn't vulnerable to SQL injections, it is still vulnerable to other types of injections that can compromise your application.

Hopefully, our starship game is interesting enough for you to keep developing it. Our next (and final) chapter wraps together our principles of JavaScript development and polishes our game.
