Just a basic template I wrote to use express with typescript!
docker-compose up
- The app will automatically reload when you make changes.
Generate production build
docker build -t <image-name> .
- This will generate a docker image ready to be used on whatever cloud service you want (don't forget the dot!).
docker push <image-name>
- Pushes the image to the registry so it can be downloaded by other machines. Makes getting the image onto the cloud machine a little easier.
npm run test
- Will run your test suite.
- The philosophy behind this template is to remove the hassle of routing your controllers, opting instead to make use of decorators to remove this need.
- All you have to do is create a *.controller.ts file in the controller directory and have the default exported class extend Controller.
- You can then make use for those lovely Flask-inspired routing decorators.
@controller('/example')
class ExampleController extends Controller {
@get('/')
hello(req: Request, res: Response, next: NextFunction) {
const greeting = req.body.greeting || 'Hello';
const name = req.body.name || 'world';
res.json({ message: `${greeting} ${name}!` });
}
}
