node-ts-rest

A simple NodeJs REST API server written in TypeScript

In this Repo I'm following a blog series I've found on TopTal (https://www.toptal.com/express-js/nodejs-typescript-rest-api-pt-1) to master TypeScript and NodeJs.

The idea is to build my own NodeJs template for build services and reuse it to have the boilerplate code.

Run

From the terminal

yarn start

Go to http://localhost:3000

Debugging

From the terminal

yarn debug

From VSCode Go to the Debug & Run section, set a break point on the code and click on Launch Program

Test APIs with Thunder-Client in VSCode

First, you need to have installed Thunder-Client extension at: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=rangav.vscode-thunder-client

Then just import the collection and environment in your Thunder-Client:

• thunder-client/thunder-collection_APIs Tests.json
• thunder-client/thunder-environment_Test Envs Variables.json

You'll get in your client sample API requests that you can call against the server to test the response.
