SwiftUI and Node.js Full Stack - Build Twitter - iOS 16 - Note Model and POST Request

The video tutorial guides viewers through creating a Mongoose model for notes, integrating it into an application, handling POST requests, and saving data to a MongoDB database using Mongoose. It also covers testing the API with Postman, ensuring data is correctly stored and retrieved. The tutorial emphasizes best practices, such as organizing code into directories and using JSON format for data exchange.

What is the purpose of creating a separate directory for models in a project?

• To keep the project organized and maintainable
