Notes (upgrading from v8 to v13)

1. To use file in handlers you need to install and register inert module.

2. For template rendering with server.view you need to install and register vision module.

3. Configuration of good plugin has been changed since hapi 8.

4. If your app crashes with error Error: Failed to encode cookie (sid) value: Password string too short (min 32 characters required) be sure to set minimum 32 characters password in auth.strategy config:

       server.auth.strategy('default', 'cookie', {
           password: 'minimum-32-characters-password1234567890', // min 32 characters required https://github.com/hapijs/hapi/issues/3040
           redirectTo: '/login',
           isSecure: false
       });

5. Mandrill is now a paid MailChimp add-on. You have to choose an alternative. Check out, for example: Is Mandrill Done? 5 Alternatives for Your Transactional Email. I chose SendGrid. Register on site and create API KEY likewise for Mandrill in course video. SendGrid has official node.js library.
