Description

This generator will help you to build your own Node Express Web API using TypeScript. You'll be able to connect to your MongoDB database. Feel free to leave your suggestions and help us to improve this generator.

Installation

First, install Yeoman and generator-ts-node-api using npm (we assume you have pre-installed node.js).

npm install -g yo
npm install -g generator-ts-node-api

Then generate your new project:

yo ts-node-api

Running the API

Development

To start the application in development mode, run:

npm run dev-server

The developer mode will watch your changes then will transpile the TypeScript code and re-run the node application automatically.

Production

First, create the prod.env file inside the config folder. Make sure that file contains all your production environment variables, like the dev.env file.

To build the API, run:

npm build

Then, start the application or deploy the files in dist directory:

npm start
