Visual Studio Code Tutorial: Building a Full-Stack JavaScript React Application

In this tutorial, we will be building a full-stack JavaScript application using React, Express, MySQL2, Sequelize, and Cors. We will also use Visual Studio Code as our code editor.

To start, create a new folder on your computer and name it 'fullstack'. This is where we will store all our project files.

Next, open the 'fullstack' folder in Visual Studio Code by navigating to the folder location and clicking 'Open Folder' in the Visual Studio Code interface. Alternatively, you can download Visual Studio Code from 'Do not download software from unofficial websites.' and install it on your computer if you haven't already.

Once opened, create a new subfolder named 'backend' inside the 'fullstack' folder. This will be where we store our backend code.

To create a database for our application, we will use MySQL. You can do this by executing the following query: `CREATE DATABASE crud_db;`

If you want to create a database with the same name as our application, that's even better. Here, I will create a database with the name 'crud_db'.

You can also use tools such as SQLyog, PHPMyAdmin, or similar tools to create a new database in MySQL.

To be able to use MySQL, you need to install XAMPP, WAMP, MAMP, or similar software on your computer.

Next, add the following code to the 'package.json' file:

```json

'scripts': {

'test': 'echo 'Error: no test specified' & exit 1'

}

```

Then, install nodemon globally by typing the following command in the terminal:

```

npm install -g nodemon

```

Next, install express, mysql2, sequelize, and cors by typing the following command in the terminal:

```

npm install express mysql2 sequelize cors

```

After that, go to the 'backend' folder by typing the following command in the terminal:

```

cd backend

```

Then, type the following command in the terminal to create a new file named 'package.json':

```

npm init -y

```

Next, open a terminal on Visual Studio Code and navigate to the 'backend' folder.

You can now start building your full-stack JavaScript application using React, Express, MySQL2, Sequelize, and Cors. This tutorial will provide you with all the necessary steps and guidance to get started.
