in the ideation. I will show you how you can use Chad GP T
to generate ideas for your next project. If you don't have an idea yet
and also we'll explain which idea we will pick up in this course.
Then we will take the 80% of the course into the development section,
uh which would be setting up the back end project, creating the services,
setting up a dependencies, dockize
our application
and then we will move to create the front end part of it very small and restricted one.
But just to showcase how to use it also for the front end development.
Then we will move to the testing section where we explain how to use Github
copilot in unit and integration test creation.
And then it would be the short five minutes Next step section.

Sample app features explained

TLBGCP - 06 Setting up Backend project

Welcome to the first lesson in the development section of our equity project course! Throughout these sessions, we'll set up two crucial parts of our equity project: the backend and the frontend. We'll adhere to a standard development cycle process and leverage GitHub Copilot to assist us whenever possible.

We'll start by setting up the backend using Node.js and its ecosystem. We'll use NPM as our package manager, Express.js to define REST APIs and routers, and MongoDB (via Mongoose) to manage our data storage within Docker.

The frontend of the project will primarily use React.js, enabling a dynamic and responsive user interface.

Starting with Visual Studio Code (VS Code)

In this section, we'll open our project in VS Code and go step-by-step through the project creation process, utilizing GitHub Copilot to assist us.

With our initial setup in place and dependencies installed, we're ready to delve deeper into building out the backend and frontend components of our equity project. Stay tuned for the subsequent lessons where we'll continue to explore and leverage GitHub Copilot's capabilities to streamline our development process.

Setting up Backend project

TLBGCP - 07 Install dependencies and entry file

Setting Up Your TypeScript Project with Express

I skipped a few steps initially to avoid boring you with the npm installation part. Here are the steps I took:

 section was updated. I will explain it later as we haven't discussed these files yet.

New Project Structure and Configuration Files

After setting up, you will see a few changes:

This configuration is fairly standard and is what you get with the default 

Creating the Source Folder and Index File

We will now create the source folder and a new file called 

As previously discussed, we will create an Express app for our REST application and add an Express router to manage different routes. I will cover the router in detail in the next lesson.

For now, we can use GitHub Copilot to generate a basic application:

If everything is set up correctly, you should see the message:

Install dependencies & entry file

TLBGCP - 08 Architecture of the app and Dockerising the app

Backend Development Architecture and Setup

Before diving into the backend development, let's overview the simple architecture for our backend app. Here's a breakdown of how the components will interact and function:

To proceed with development, we need to add MongoDB as a dependency to our service. We have two ways to run MongoDB:

We will use Docker to run MongoDB. Here's a step-by-step guide to setting it up:

By following these steps, we now have a Docker setup for a MongoDB instance ready to support the backend services. This setup ensures our backend app can handle business logic efficiently while maintaining data integrity and persistence.

Architecture of the app & Dockerising the app

TLBGCP - 09 Mongoose models Part 1

Next, we will define the schema for the shareholders.

Step 4: Using GitHub Copilot for Assistance

GitHub Copilot can help automate some of our tasks. It can suggest types for our schema properties and even create schemas and models.

Once you've defined your schemas, you need to export them so that they can be used in other parts of your application.

Mongoose models Part 1

TLBGCP - 10 Connect MongoDB

In this section, we will go through the process of connecting our Node.js application to a MongoDB instance. Follow the steps below to set up the connection.

Now, you can start your application using the 

You should see a log message confirming that MongoDB is connected and the server is running.

This setup ensures that your application will not continue to run if the MongoDB connection fails, which is crucial for maintaining integrity and stability in your applications.

Connect MongoDB

TLBGCP - 11 Mongoose models Part 2

First, we need to create a TypeScript interface for the shareholder. This interface will include the shareholder's information such as name, email, and the companies they own.

Step 2: Create an Additional Type for Company Information

We need to define a separate type for the company's information. This additional interface will capture the company ID, which is crucial for our implementation.

Once the interfaces are created, we can proceed to build the model. This model will represent the default structure of a shareholder within our system.

Step 4: Updating Imports and Fixing Issues

To ensure our project is cohesive, we need to import the necessary components and resolve any issues related to the shareholder data integration.

With our models and interfaces in place, the next step is to create routes that our service will use. These routes will facilitate operations like creating, reading, updating, and deleting shareholder information.

Mongoose models Part 2

TLBGCP - 12 Add express routers

Building RESTful Express Routers for an Application

Copilot helps generate a default schema which we can adjust according to our needs. Here’s a basic setup.

Ensure our base URL and routes align with our application's needs. Typically, we use Express with mongoose models.

For example, in our companies route, we deal with the GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE requests.

While Copilot is helpful, sometimes it may not understand the complete context. Make sure to verify and adjust the generated code.

Finally, always review the code to align it with best practices and ensure it adheres to your application's needs.

For any remaining issues, Copilot can suggest fixes. We'll dive deeper into these fixes in a later section.

Add express routers

TLBGCP - 13 Continue with routers

This video covers the process of setting up routes and middleware for handling company data in a Node.js application. It involves integrating different routes, testing them, and ensuring they interact correctly with a MongoDB database.

Continue with routers

TLBGCP - 13.5 Creating main service business logic

In this video, we focus on creating and implementing the business logic for an equity management service. This involves setting up event types and handling specific business events like capitalizations, share releases, share splits, and share purchases.

. This service will handle the core business events and logic for managing equity.

, we will define four main events that will be used in our equity management system.

For better clarity and understanding, we define several types that will be used throughout our service.

This is a generic type that includes an ID and data field for all events.

These are the specific event types we will handle in our service.

Specific payloads sent from any event provider or even internally within our express routes.

A generic type that consists of all our payloads.

To handle the capitalization event, we need to ensure that we have the necessary information like the company ID and the capitalization payload.

Creating main service business logic

TLBGCP - 14 More business logic

If the current company capitalization exceeds the original capitalization, the app will update and save the new value. If not, an error will be thrown, as the capitalization should not decrease within the application’s context.

More business logic

TLBGCP - 15 Even more business logic

In this lesson, we explored updating shareholders and managing share purchases within a company structure using the copilot and repositories. Below is a step-by-step breakdown of the concepts covered.

Even more business logic

TLBGCP - 16 Update routers with business logic actions

Implementing Event Handling in Our Router

To enable the execution of events within our system, we need to integrate them into our router. Here we will update the company's router to handle the first three types of events: shares release, capitalization, and shares split.

We begin by verifying the existence of the company before processing any events.

We need to ensure that all events are correctly closed, especially when auto-generated code might omit necessary closures.

By following these steps, we can effectively manage shares release, capitalization, and shares split events within our router. Each event is thoroughly verified for correctness in structure and required properties.

: Always test to ensure these configurations are functioning as expected before deploying them to a production environment.

Update routers with business logic actions

TLBGCP - 17 Finish updating routers

Fixing a Typo in the REST API and Testing Events

In this lesson, we will address a typo in our code and move on to test our events.

Let's carry out some tests to ensure that our events are working correctly.

At each stage, we check for errors and verify that the events have been triggered successfully.

Finish updating routers

TLBGCP - 18 Extra Explain it and Fix it functions

If you need an explanation for a segment of your code:

This feature can be particularly useful when dealing with more complex functions or segments, such as those found in equity management.

Lesson 2: Setting Up Another Generative AI Tool

For any issues or further assistance, refer back to the detailed guide and resources provided in the documentation.

The
second lesson would be about setting up another generative a i tool,
which would be the most focus of this course.
Let's move to the the quickstart Guide, which is available from the github
docs.
So let's go here. So you could see I will also add
the link, uh, into the description. But you can also see, uh, what it is.
What does it do?
How you can use it. Uh, how to apply for it in the personal account.
But what I wanted to show you like a simple guide how to install it.
You would go to your github.
You will see the dashboard of all the projects. So
what you need to do,
you click on your profile,
you go to the settings,
then you go to the code planning automation and tools
You choose the co pilot. I
you would see nothing here, but because I already started with my github
copilot.
Uh, you see the trial days left.
You can also choose which ID you want to work and install your copilot with.
So, for example, I use visual studio code. So if I click on that,
I will see a clear guide on how to do it,
but within this lesson, I just want to show you how to install it from scratch.
So
it's installing
so everything is done successfully.
So I should see the icon here on the bottom.
And then I see that the status is ready
and because I already eventually
log into my github account, it's available right now,
but you should be
able to log into your github
account and also start the trial. If you didn't before,
uh, just to check if it works, uh, let's say I will go to any file I have.
I will type command E, and then the copilot
generation text box should be appearing in any file you open.
