Overview

What is Express TypeScript API?

Express TypeScript API is a blank Express server setup with TypeScript support. It provides a ready-to-use project structure for building RESTful APIs with Node.js and TypeScript, including development hot-reloading and a production build pipeline.

How to use Express TypeScript API?

Clone the repository, install dependencies with npm install, then run npm run dev for development with hot‑reloading at http://localhost:3000. For production, compile TypeScript with npm run build and start the compiled JavaScript with npm start. Configure environment variables like PORT and NODE_ENV in a .env file.

Key features of Express TypeScript API

Blank Express setup with TypeScript support
Development server with hot‑reloading (npm run dev)
Production build pipeline (npm run build + npm start)
Predefined project structure (src/, dist/, config, routes)
Two built‑in endpoints: GET / and GET /health
Environment variable configuration via .env file

Use cases of Express TypeScript API

Quickly bootstrap a new REST API with TypeScript and Express
Prototype API endpoints without manual project scaffolding
Serve as a template for Node.js microservices or backends
Demonstrate Express API patterns in coding tutorials or workshops

Frequently asked questions

What are the prerequisites?

Node.js v14.x or higher and npm v6.x or higher are required.

What endpoints are available out of the box?

There are two endpoints: `GET /` returns a welcome message, and `GET /health` is a health check endpoint.

How do I add a new route?

What environment variables are needed?

The README specifies `NODE_ENV` and `PORT`, with defaults of `development` and `3000` respectively.

How do I run the server in production?

First run `npm run build` to compile TypeScript to the `dist` folder, then run `npm start` to start the compiled JavaScript server.
