“Need Help With Express Form handling while controlling the frontend”

Struggled with Express form handling and frontend control, leading to frustration and decreased productivity

What I wish I knew
"Properly integrating forms with Express and PostgreSQL without frontend database queries"
If I could tell you one thing
"Use a conventional solution like storing the id in session or using a token-based approach to avoid frontend database queries and XSS attacks"
