Advanced Projects

Prerequisites: Level 3 — Advanced.

Full-Stack Node/Express App

A REST API (Express) with real data stored in a database, input validation, and a Jest test suite, paired with a small frontend that consumes it.

Real-Time Chat with WebSockets

Using the ws package (or Socket.IO), build a chat server that broadcasts messages to every connected client instantly, without polling.

Custom Build Pipeline

Configure Vite (or Webpack) from scratch for a small multi-page project — bundling, minification, and an automated build step wired into CI.
