express-demo

Simple web back-end written in TypeScript.

The demo will include:

1. Setting up the project

   Initializing Node.js modules for Express.js development using TypeScript

2. Basic webserver with Express, with Clean Architecture structure

   Organizing your code into separate module units, each having one responsibility

3. Connecting to databases with ORM

   Use ORM to simplify modeling database data in our code

4. Authorizations

   Protect private resources with industry standard strategies.

5. (TODO) Other advanced concepts

6. Testing

   Write tests to help catch bugs before deployment

Features

This demo back-end app will be a clipboard/text sharing service.

It support basic CRUD operations, as well as authorizations and user groups.

I will try to make it use both in-memory cache, Redis store, and a SQL database.

Code is organized following the clean architecture mindset.

The HTTP APIs are not yet stable, so they are not documented.
