@mianfrigo/express-typescript-draf v1.0.0

Express with TypeScript's application generator.

What is it?

Node express generator similar to express-generator-typescript module. In this case we user Webpack to compile the typescript to Javascript, also implement EsLint to follow good practice and a clean code.

Project example

When you run express-typescript-draf, it sets up a very basic application with a single basic route. This is to show how route work with node and express.

If you want an application ready to use with and db, you can pass the --mongo-db option and you will have an application which is ready to use mongoDb. The app is configured with production quality client-side security. I highly encourage to use this option.

Installation

$ npm install -g express-typescript-draf

Quick Start

The quickest way to get started is use npx and pass in the name of the project you want to create. If you don't specify a project name, express-ts will be set up for you as default name.

Create the app:

$ npx express-typescript-draf "project name (default is express-ts)"

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

$ cd "project name" && npm run dev:server

Available commands for the server.

• Run the production build: npm start.
• Build the project for production: npm run build.
• Run the server in development mode: npm run dev:server.

Debugging

During development, express-generator-typescript uses webpack compile the typescript code to jascript and nodemon to restart the server when changes are detected.

Happy coding
