mkdir test-boot-app
cd test-boot-app

# Generate package.json without any question
npm init -y

# add required dependencies use yarn
yarn add express-api-bootstrap

# add required dependencies use npm
npm i express-api-bootstrap --save

# init express-api-bootstrap required env
npx boot init

Open and modify package.json with following section:

{
  "scripts": {
    "start": "boot dev",
    "build": "boot build",
    "serve": "boot serve",
    "test": "boot test"
  }
}

Create the first controller at src/controllers/helloController.ts with following code:

import { HttpRequest, RestController, GetMapping } from 'express-api-bootstrap'

@RestController()
class HelloControler {
  @GetMapping('/hello')
  async sayHello(req: HttpRequest) {
    return {
      hi: req.query.name
    }
  }
}

export default HelloControler

Run yarn start to, and you will see the first API at http://localhost:8080/apis/hello
