Starter project for Express and TypeScript

This project is a ready structure for developing server projects in nodejs environment with typescript language and express framework.

Routing

In this project, Routing is done in the same controller layer.

Controllers are defined as a contract in the src/Controller/Controllers folder. All controllers inherit from the parent controller, and their constructors specify the basic routing when they call the parent constructor (as a parent constructor parameter)

import {Controller} from "..";
import {NextFunction, Request, Response} from "express";  
import {baseResponse} from "../../helpers/functions";

class ExampleController extends Controller {  
    constructor() {  
	    // base router
        super("/test");  
  }  
  
    async testMethod(req: Request, res: Response, next?: NextFunction) {  
        return baseResponse(res, {}, "validation test", undefined, "ok", 200);  
  }  
}

The controller file must include an instance of the controller class as export default with the help of an anonymous function.

The routes are introduced to the controller as actions in this anonymous function.

export default function (): ExampleController {  
    const controller = new ExampleController();  
  
  // add method to actions  
  controller.addAction("/test", "get", controller.testMethod, []);  
  
 return controller;  
}

Finally, routes must be introduced to express somewhere.

/**
/src/Router/api/v1/index.ts
*/
import {Router} from "express";  
import ExampleController from "../../../Controller/Controllers/ExampleController";  
import AuthController from "../../../Controller/Controllers/AuthController";  
import UserController from "../../../Controller/Controllers/UserController";  
import BusinessController from "../../../Controller/Controllers/BusinessController";  
import OperatorController from "../../../Controller/Controllers/OperatorController";  
  
  
const router = Router();  
  
router.use(ExampleController().setupActions());  
router.use(AuthController().setupActions())  
router.use(UserController().setupActions());  
router.use(BusinessController().setupActions());  
router.use(OperatorController().setupActions())  
export default router;
