Hapi v17

Hey Matt,

I'm stoked to watch you're latest videos for Hapi! I was wondering if you intend to update this project to Hapi 17, or if you would have any interest in doing so? I am new to Hapi, so I was thinking it might be an interesting way to learn Hapi and contribute back with a PR to update some sections.

Cannot Access the db in handlers?

Here is the dbConneciton:

const Sqlite3 = require('sqlite3');

const db = new Sqlite3.Database('./dindin.sqlite');

I had use bind the db with server.bind({ db: dbConnection }) but i dont know why i cannot access the this.db in handlers. According to book [Hapi Js in Action] and server.bind it should be working. I had to use server.app.db = dbConnection and every handler i had to do something like const db = request.server.app.db and works fine.. is there issue with server.bind in hapi js version 13.4.0 and I m loving ur book....

Q: Why use typeof

Hi, firstly I'd like to thank you for writing a great book. I purchased it yesterday and already found it very helpful.

One question I have concerns the way you validate whether /api/get/{id} returns an actual result from the database:

if (typeof result !== 'undefined') {
    return reply(result);
}

Why not take advantage of the type coercion and simply:

if (result) {
    return reply(result);
}

Does typeof cover some exceptional cases I do not foresee?

Thank you very much!
