How to build a full featured blog app using MERN stack?

Question

I had followed this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-osiE80TeTtoQCKZ03TU5fNfx2UY6U4p
To make a full featured blog using Django. It included authentication, user profile, CRUD for user and blogs and also email password reset.

Now I have finished some basic MERN stack and what to make a similar app using it. But I can't find any blog tutorial online 😞. I only find to-do list or complete intro to MERN but not any sort of project based tutorial.

Is MERN stack not good enough for a blog app😅. Why people are not making content about it

Answer 1

React.js is using front-end JavaScript to render web contents, there is a disadvantage to use JavaScript contents, search engine spiders are still having difficulties to crawl JavaScript contents fully.
This is the only main reason why web developers do not use react to build blog or websites, it has low SEO scores.

However, with next.js, which is react.js based but it also enable server side rendering contents (SSR), this would make the contents of react.js websites can be crawled by search engine spiders.

Web developers could consider using MongoDB, Express.js, Next.js and Node.js to build SEO friendly websites now.

Answer 2

Adi Pratama-Universitas Brawijaya Seo score is determined by frontend html static content structure and keywords disregard what type of backend server and database it uses.

Answer 3

is it true that MongoDB more SEO friendly rather than SQL DB?

Answer 4

The MERN stack consists of MongoDB, Express, React, and Node.js. Given the popularity of React on the frontend and of Node.js on the backend, the MERN stack is one of the most popular stack of technologies for building a modern single-page application (SPA).

Set-Up
Let’s start with the setup. Open your terminal and create a new file directory in any location in your local machine — 
Enter into that file directory
Server Setup
To run our javascript code on the backend we need to build a server that will compile our code. We can create our server using Express which is a small node framework to build the REST API
Routes
We want to achieve three things with our shopping list application, which is to create an item list, view all items and to delete a brought item.This is only overview but if you want to know more then join Mern Stack online training: https://www.cetpainfotech.com/technolgy/mern-stack-training
