Boilerplate to create REST webservices using Express, Tyepscript and Swagger. Inclusive automatic swagger.json and route creation from controller-modules.
Enhanced by Inversify to enable dependency injection (DI)
I used tsoa for automatic Swagger doc generation, InversifyJS for DI, ExpressJS as server and enhanced it with Typescript
Look at https://www.npmjs.com/package/tsoa for more information about Swagger generation and usage of Inversify with tsoa
It includes a connection to mongoDB. The location of the database is defined in src/config/mongodb.ts. To make the mongoDB connection work you need to create a database called hero and add one hero-document into the database:
{
"_id" : ObjectId("599a2ea06cea13a2e01ff4ff"),
"heroId" : 11,
"name" : "Mr. Nice",
"id" : "1"
}
A Typescript way of connection to mongoDB is provided by typegoose
The swagger generated API doc is available at http://localhost:3000/api-doc
