The Complete Strapi™ Course with Plugins and Deployment - Strapi Architecture: An Overview

The video tutorial provides an overview of customizing the Strappy core by following a request-to-response flow. It explains the roles of various modules such as policies, middleware, controllers, services, and models. The tutorial highlights how each module interacts with requests and responses, emphasizing the importance of controllers in executing business logic and services in handling database operations. It also covers the use of web hooks for third-party notifications and concludes with a preview of detailed module discussions in future lectures.

What is the primary function of policies in the Strapi request flow?

• To execute core business logic

• To notify third-party services

• To transform requests for the controller

• To check if a request is allowed to reach a route

Which component is responsible for executing the main business logic in Strapi?

• Policies

• Controllers

• Middleware

• Services

How can middleware enhance the functionality of a request in Strapi?

• By accessing the database directly

• By executing core business logic

• By providing additional security and transforming requests

• By notifying third-party services

What role do services play in the Strapi core?

• They transform requests for the controller

• They execute the main business logic

• They provide low-level operations like database access

• They check if requests are allowed to proceed

What is the purpose of web hooks in Strapi?

• To execute core business logic

• To notify third-party services of events

• To check if a request is allowed to reach a route

• To transform requests for the controller
