Create a server

Although this project is written in TypeScript, you can also use JavaScript.
Here is a simple HTTP server written in JavaScript.

// JavaScript
const {PromiseHttpServer} = require("promise-http-server");

(async ()=>{
  const promiseServer = new PromiseHttpServer();
  const port = 8899;
  // Listen on the port
  await promiseServer.listen(port);
  console.log(`Listening on ${port}...`);

  while(true) {
    try {
      // Wait for request
      const {req, res} = await promiseServer.accept();
      // Write request path and end
      res.end(`<h1>Your path: ${req.url}</h1>\n`);
    } catch (err) {
      // Print error
      console.error(`on-error: ${err}`);
    }
  }
})();

Pure objects in http module

req and res above are pure Node.js object in http module. promiseServer.server is also pure Node.js object.

Here are the types of those objects.

• req: http.IncomingMessage
• res: http.ServerResponse
• promiseServer.server: http.Server

Pure objects allow you to create a server in your familiar way.
