The Complete Strapi™ Course with Plugins and Deployment - Plugin Route, Controller, and Service

This tutorial covers setting up a GitHub backend using Strappy, focusing on creating custom routes for fetching repositories. It involves renaming default controllers and services for clarity, implementing service methods for data fetching, and testing the server. The tutorial also discusses authorization, ensuring routes are accessible only to authenticated admin users.

What is the primary purpose of the server-side functionality discussed in the video?

• To update GitHub repository details

• To fetch GitHub repositories for the current account

• To create a new GitHub repository

• To delete GitHub repositories

What HTTP method is used for the custom route to fetch repositories?

• POST

• GET

What is the role of the controller in the Strapi plugin architecture?

• To call the underlying service for data operations

• To handle user authentication

• To directly fetch data from GitHub

• To manage database connections

Why is it important to use services for low-level operations in Strapi?

• To improve database performance

• To ensure data is fetched directly from the controller

• To separate concerns and maintain clean architecture

• To allow controllers to handle all operations

• 500 Internal Server Error

• 403 Forbidden

• 401 Unauthorized

• 404 Not Found

What is the temporary solution to test the implementation of the route?

• Enable public access to the route

• Disable authentication for the route

• Use a different server port

• Change the route method to POST

Who should have access to the repository fetching route according to the plan?
