🤔 What is Express ?

Express is a fast, open and concise web framework and is a Node.js based project.

😎 Introducing the package.

Express consists of JavaScript, which makes it vulnerable to type definitions.

That's why we avoid supersets with starter packages that introduce TypeScript.

The package is configured to use TypeScript instead of JavaScript.

NOTE: This project is a variation of express-generator-typescript by seanpmaxwell 👍

🚀 Quick Start

Install with the npm global package

$ npm install -g typescript-express-starter

Run npx to install the package

npx is a tool in the JavaScript package management module, npm.

This is a tool that allows you to run the npm package on a single run without installing the package.

If you do not enter a project name, it defaults to typescript-express-starter.

$ npx typescript-express-starter "project name"

Choose the template you want. We will create more templates later.

cli

Start your typescript-express-starter app in development mode at http://localhost:3000/

$ cd "project name" && npm run start

🛎 Available commands for the server.

  • Run the Server in production mode : npm run start.
  • Run the Server in development mode : npm run dev.
  • Run all unit-tests: npm run test.
  • Check for linting errors: npm run lint.
  • Fix for linting: npm run lint:fix.

🐳 Dockerize

Docker is a platform for developers and sysadmins to build, run, and share applications with containers.

🪄 Code Formatter

Palantir, the backers behind TSLint announced in 2019 that they would be deprecating TSLint in favor of supporting typescript-eslint in order to benefit the community.

So, migration from TSLint to ESLint.

ESLint, Find and fix problems in your JavaScript code

Prettier is an opinionated code formatter.

It enforces a consistent style by parsing your code and re-printing it with its own rules that take the maximum line length into account, wrapping code when necessary.

VSCode Extension Prettier, ESLint
