Typescript + ExpressJS Server Boilerplate for Backend API

This is a boilerplate backend API server written in Typescript and using ExpressJS web framework.

Getting started

First install necessary dependencies using:

npm install

Next, copy or rename example.env into .env and set the needed environment variables if necessary.

Compile Typescript into Javascript using npm run build:dev. This will compile Typescript and wait for changes to trigger a new compilation.

To compile without watching, consider running npm run build:prod.

To start the server, run npm start. Server will automatically restart after each build.

Run npm test to test with jest.

Every suggestion is welcome.
