This project demonstrates how to build a server using TypeScript and Express. It is designed with modularity and scalability in mind, making it easy to maintain and extend.
- TypeScript: Ensures type safety and improves developer productivity.
- Express: A minimal and flexible Node.js framework for building APIs.
- JSON Middleware: Automatically parses incoming JSON requests.
- Modular Routes: Routes are organized into separate modules for better structure.
- Entry Point: The server starts in
src/index.ts, which initializes the application and sets up the HTTP server. - Application Logic: The
createServerApplicationfunction insrc/app/index.tsdefines the Express app and its middleware. - Routing: Routes like
/todosare defined in dedicated modules (e.g.,src/app/todo/routes.js). - Scalability: The modular design allows adding or updating routes without affecting the core server logic.
- Install dependencies:
npm install
- Start the development server:
npm run dev
- Access the API:
GET /todos: Handles todo-related requests.
This project is a great starting point for learning real world and building scalable and maintainable TypeScript-based APIs.
