Learn Asp-net, Babel and Mongodb

MongoDB has a quite powerful aggregation framework that allows you to write data processing pipelines. Documents in the MongoDB collection go through a series of stages or a pipeline that transforms them into an aggregated result. In this short video series, you will learn how to write aggregations in MongoDB.

Converting all of our modern JavaScript into ES5 compatible syntax is a great way to use modern features while targeting older browsers. What happens when the browsers natively support these language features? Then it no longer makes sense to transform that code or to include polyfills that will go unused. In this lesson, we’ll add the `@babel/polyfill` package and configure `babel-preset-env`

Target specific browsers with babel-preset-env and the babel pollyfill

JavaScript® (often shortened to JS) is a lightweight, interpreted, object-oriented language with first-class functions, most known as the scripting language for Web pages, but used in many non-browser environments as well such as node.js or Apache CouchDB. It is a prototype-based, multi-paradigm scripting language that is dynamic, and supports object-oriented, imperative, and functional programming styles.

Providing real time information to your Javascript apps with [ASP.NET Core SignalR](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@microsoft/signalr). With ASP.NET Core and SignalR you can add real time functionality with ease and keep your application up to date without letting the clients reloading their page manually.

Aggregation in MongoDB is really powerful and allows you to create solid pipelines to extract and transform data. This is an introductory video that aims to demonstrate the basics of aggregation — we will see how to create some basic pipeline to extract data using `$match` and manipulate the output using `$project` stages.

The aggregation stages/operators covered in this video are:

* [`$match`](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/aggregation/match/index.html)
* [`$project`](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/aggregation/project/index.html)
* [`$concat`](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/aggregation/concat/)

You can see the list of all the [available operators in the MongoDB docs](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/aggregation/)

We take the opengraph image we wrote in codesandbox and copy it into our serverless function. We use Rollup to compile the component into an IIFE (immediately invoked function expression) that can run in our headless browser environment and cover a wide set of rollup plugins that we need for compatibility. We end the lesson having successfully screenshot our opengraph react component from our Netlify Function

In our last lesson, we learnt the basics of MongoDB aggregation and saw how we can [find and manipulate data](https://egghead.io/lessons/mongodb-find-and-manipulate-data-using-aggregation-in-mongodb). In this continuation, we will see how we can sort, skip and limit records during our aggregation stages.

The aggregation stages/operators covered in this video are:

* [`$sort`](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/aggregation/sort/index.html)
* [`$skip`](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/aggregation/skip/index.html)
* [`$limit`](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/aggregation/limit/index.html)

You can see the list of all the [available operators in the MongoDB docs.](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/aggregation/)

One of the great things about NoSQL databases is that you do not have to decide on your data schema while developing. As you get closer to production though, you'll often want to more clearly define the shape of the data you are working with.

Enforce Schemas in MongoDB using Mongoose Models

Unlike the relational databases, MongoDB doesn't allow you to join collections using the simple `find` queries, but you can write the join queries using the aggregation framework. In this lesson, we learn how to join two collections to get the data in the format we want.

The aggregation operators that we cover in this video are:

- [`$lookup`](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/aggregation/lookup/index.html)
- [`$project`](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/aggregation/project/index.html)
- [`$arrayElemAt`](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/aggregation/arrayElemAt/index.html)

You can see the list of all the [available operators in the MongoDB docs.](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/aggregation/)

Write Joins in MongoDB

[In our last lesson](https://egghead.io/lessons/mongodb-group-by-and-sum-in-mongodb?pl=mongodb-aggregation-framework-3e5d), we saw how we can use `$group` operator to simulate `GROUP BY` operations that you might be aware from SQL. A minor gimmick with `$group` is that it only works with the scalar field values and not arrays. There might be times when you would want to group by some array fields; in this lesson, we learn how to do that using `$unwind` operator

Here is the list of operators that we cover in this lesson:

- [$unwind](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/aggregation/unwind/index.html)
- [$group](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/aggregation/group/index.html)
- [$sort](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/aggregation/sort/index.html)
- [$limit](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/aggregation/limit/index.html)

You can see the list of all the [available operators in the MongoDB docs](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/aggregation/).


Perform Group Operations on Array Fields in MongoDB

In this lesson, we learn how to group documents in a collection using `$group` operator similar to `GROUP BY` in SQL. We also look at `$sum` operator and see how we can use it to count the number of documents as well as get sum of some field in our grouped results.

Here is the list of operators that we cover in this lesson:

* [`$group`](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/aggregation/group/index.html)
* [`$sum`](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/aggregation/sum/index.html)
* [`$sort`](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/aggregation/sort/index.html)

You can see the list of all the [available operators in the MongoDB docs](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/aggregation/).

We can write our package using the latest JavaScript syntax with a compilation step. In this lesson we will install `babel-cli` and `babel-preset-latest` and wire up a `build` script to compile our code using the babel “latest” preset when source files change. This means those using our package can use it in any version of JavaScript even though we are using the latest syntax for our source code.

Gulp is a toolkit for automating painful or time-consuming tasks in your development workflow, so you can stop messing around and build something.

gulp

What is already a nice workflow using Gulp, Browserify, Watchify & Browsersync to enable auto rebuilds & live browser reloading can be further improved by adding Babelify. A simple wrapper around the popular transpiler Babel, Babelify can ‘transform’ source files as they pass through our stream to enable certain Javascript features not yet available in the Browser or Node. We end the lesson by looking at how to generate & extract sourcemaps using `exorcist`.

Gulp and Browserify - Adding Babel & Source Maps

Babel is a compiler that lets us right future JavaScript not yet fully in browsers (ES6 / ES2015, ES7 / ES2016, etc) and transpile it back into code that can be used now. We'll walk through installing babel, writing some future JS syntax, transpiling it, and running it in a browser.

**This lesson is out of date and uses an older version of Babel.**

Webpack loaders are how you tell webpack to resolve your dependencies and you can use a loader built for the babel transpiler to easily enable ES6 code in your project. Full sourcemap support is also available using webpack's devtool property.

Webpack Loaders, Source Maps, and ES6

If you want to improve a REST API beyond GET/POST&PUT and DELETE the next step would be adding the push functionality to send new data into your web applications. With ASP.NET Core and SignalR you can add this functionality with ease and keep your application up to date without letting the clients reloading their page manually.

Angular is a development platform for creating applications using modern web standards. Angular includes a wealth of essential features such as mobile gestures, animations, filtering, routing, data binding, security, internationalization, and beautiful UI components. It's extremely modular, lightweight, and easy to learn.

In this lesson, we’ll install Babel and use it from the terminal to see how it can take JavaScript that uses modern language features and output JavaScript that will run in down-level browsers.

Transform Modern JavaScript Features with Babel

webpack is a tool to build JavaScript modules in your application. To start using webpack from its cli or api, follow the Installation instructions. webpack simplifies your workflow by quickly constructing a dependency graph of your application and bundling them in the right order. webpack can be configured to customise optimisations to your code, to split vendor/css/js code for production, run a development server that hot-reloads your code without page refresh and many such cool features.

webpack

In this lesson, we'll configure webpack to use the Babel loader for our JavaScript files, allowing us to transpile our source files and generate a bundle for deploying our application.
