All right guys. It's time again for yet another challenge.

1
00:04.140 --> 00:09.960
So in this challenge module we're going to take that blog website that we built in the previous EJS 

2
00:09.960 --> 00:15.850
challenge module and we're going to upgrade it because one of the most annoying things about this web

3
00:15.850 --> 00:23.170
site is if we go ahead and compose say a new post, let's just take some lorem ipsum from over here

4
00:24.230 --> 00:27.190
and we just call it day 1,

5
00:27.230 --> 00:29.270
paste in the post hit publish.

6
00:29.270 --> 00:31.620
You can see it show up on our home page.

7
00:31.760 --> 00:40.820
But as soon as we restart our server or we make some changes in our app.js and we restart nodemon

8
00:41.510 --> 00:48.860
and we reload our app.js, then you can see that as soon as I hit refresh all of our data is gone.

9
00:49.100 --> 00:56.960
But in the last few modules we learnt all about data persistence using databases and using MongoDB 

10
00:56.990 --> 00:58.370
and Mongoose.

11
00:58.910 --> 01:05.900
So it's time to test your metal and update this website so that we persist all of the data that we

12
01:05.900 --> 01:09.950
add through the compose route.

13
01:09.960 --> 01:16.200
Let me just go ahead and add yet another post in here and we're going to use MongoDB so that when

14
01:16.200 --> 01:26.530
we hit restart on our server or when we just simply end our session and restart nodemon and or we hit

15
01:26.620 --> 01:33.860
refresh, we should no longer be losing our data because it's now persisted using MongoDB.

16
01:33.880 --> 01:39.160
In addition we should still retain the same functionality, so we should still have an about us,

17
01:39.160 --> 01:43.390
a contact us and a home page. And also when we click on read more

18
01:43.450 --> 01:51.140
we should be directed now to the post website using the ID of that particular post document.

19
01:51.310 --> 01:57.970
And we're going to upgrade our Web site now using the power of databases. In the coming lessons I'll

20
01:57.970 --> 02:03.060
be guiding you through step by step the things that you'll need to do in order to achieve this.

21
02:03.220 --> 02:08.110
However if you really want to challenge yourself you've already seen what the end result needs to look

22
02:08.110 --> 02:08.600
like.

23
02:08.620 --> 02:13.060
You can simply just pause the video and try to implement all of this yourself.

24
02:13.210 --> 02:17.770
At the very end of the module you will be able to download the completed code and you can compare it

25
02:17.860 --> 02:18.770
against your own.

26
02:18.940 --> 02:24.970
Alternatively you can go through the guided challenge step by step and follow along and try to complete

27
02:24.970 --> 02:26.780
it one step at a time.

28
02:26.800 --> 02:28.090
It's completely up to you.

29
02:28.120 --> 02:31.080
But either way let's get started on this challenge.
