NgRx Ultra Small Quick Start

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.

MongoDB Aggregation Framework

In this course we’ll learn how to create Twitter bots. We’ll first learn how to interface with the Twitter API using Twit.js, which allows us to post statuses, search tweets, and interact with followers. We’ll create several example bots that show the diversity of possibilities, using powerful tools such as RiTa.js, Google’s Cloud Vision API, and Tracery. We’ll learn how to tweet data from Google Spreadsheets, and to compose and tweet a song for an audio bot. We’ll also learn how to host our bot logic on Heroku and Docker. 

Twitter API Client for node

Supports both the REST and Streaming API.

Create your own twitter bots

We’ll get a real-time stream of tweets, and learn how to filter a stream by keyword, location, and user.

Use the Twitter Stream API with Twit.js

Express is a minimal and flexible Node.js web application framework that provides a robust set of features for web and mobile applications.

Mongoose allows you to easily select resources by ID from your MongoDB. This is an important aspect to creating an API.

Select by ID with Mongoose and Express

Learn how to import data into your MongoDB and then use Express to serve a simple Node.js API.

First API with Node.js, Express and MongoDB

In this lesson, our bot will tweet hello to the Twitter world! We'll do this by using Twit's POST method to post our status to the statuses/update endpoint.

Post Statuses with Twit.js

In this lesson, we’ll create multiple functions to request, download, and save photos and data from NASA's API, and then have our bot upload these photos to Twitter and post them along with their descriptions. We'll also learn how to tweet videos using a video from NASA’s space archives.

Tweet Media Files with Twit.js

We’ll learn how your bot can get its list of followers, follow people, and look up friendships. We'll use Twit's GET method to get our followers at the followers/list endpoint, to get the users we follow at the friends/ids and friends/list endpoints, and to look up our friendships with the friendships/lookup endpoint. We'll also use Twit's POST method to follow someone at the friendships/create endpoint, and to send messages by posting to the direct_messages/new endpoint. 

Work with Users in Twit.js

We’ll learn the basics of interacting with tweets, including retweeting, deleting, favoriting, and replying to tweets. We'll get our home timeline by using Twit's GET method to access the `statuses/home_timeline` endpoint, including the count parameter, which lets us get back a certain number of tweets. We'll also pass it a callback. We'll learn how to cycle through the data (the tweets) we get back and see what information is included. We'll learn how to retweet statuses by posting to `statuses/retweet` and including the tweet id. We can unretweet by posting to `statuses/unretweet` with the same tweet id. We'll also learn how to like a tweet by posting to `favorites/create` with a tweet id, and unlike a tweet by posting to `favorites/destroy` with a tweet id. We'll also learn how to reply to a tweet by posting to `statuses/update`, with a status that includes the handle of the user we're replying to and `in_reply_to_status_id` parameter, which is the id of the tweet we're replying to. We'll learn how to delete a tweet by posting to `statuses/destroy` with the tweet's id. 

Interact with Tweets with Twit.js 

We’ll learn how to search tweets with the Twitter Search API, using Twit's GET method to get the search/tweets endpoint. We'll use the query and count parameters to get the search term(s) and number of tweets that we want. We'll learn how to get exact phrases, multiple words, one of several words, emoticons, hashtags, photos/videos, urls, and how to remove words from our results. We'll learn how to implement the safe filter and how to filter by media, website, or date. We'll learn how to get recent results, popular results, results by location, and results by language. 

The search API returns for relevance, and not completeness. If you want all the tweets from a search term, you should use the stream API (which we'll go over in the next lesson). 

Use the Twitter Search API with Twit.js

We’ll go over the basic Twitter bot setup, including how to start a project from scratch, install necessary packages, and store our private keys in environment variables. 

Set Up a Basic Twitter Bot with Twit.js

In this lesson, we see how to use the Angular CLI's `ng add` command to add NgRx to a project. [Check out the official docs](https://ngrx.io/guide/store/install) to learn more.

Use the Angular CLI to Add NgRx to Your Project

In this lesson, you'll learn how to install the `@ngrx/schematics` package using `ng add`. This command will also make these schematics your default collection! Read more about NgRx schematics [in the official docs](https://ngrx.io/guide/schematics).

Install and Use NgRx Schematics

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/)


Find and Manipulate Data using Aggregation in MongoDB

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/)

Sort, Skip and Limit Records in MongoDB Aggregation

Mongoose provides a straight-forward, schema-based solution to model your application data. It includes built-in type casting, validation, query building, business logic hooks and more, out of the box.

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 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/).


Group By and Sum 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/).
