# @api.global/typedserver
Easy serving of static files

## Install
To install @api.global/typedserver, run the following command in your terminal:

```bash
npm install @api.global/typedserver --save
```

This will add `@api.global/typedserver` to your project's dependencies.

## Usage

`@api.global/typedserver` is designed to make serving static files and handling web requests in a TypeScript environment easy and efficient. It leverages Express under the hood, providing a powerful API for web server creation with additional utilities for live reloading, typed requests/responses, and more, embracing TypeScript's static typing advantages.

### Setting up a Basic Web Server

The following example demonstrates how to set up a basic web server serving files from a directory.

```typescript
import { TypedServer } from '@api.global/typedserver';

const serverOptions = {
  port: 8080, // Port to listen on
  serveDir: 'public', // Directory to serve static files from
  watch: true, // Enable live reloading of changes
  injectReload: true, // Inject live reload script into served HTML files
  cors: true // Enable CORS
};

const typedServer = new TypedServer(serverOptions);

async function startServer() {
  await typedServer.start();
  console.log(`Server is running on http://localhost:${serverOptions.port}`);
}

startServer().catch(console.error);
```

In the example above, `TypedServer` is instantiated with an `IServerOptions` object specifying options like the port to listen on (`8080`), the directory containing static files to serve (`public`), and live reload features. Calling `start()` on the `typedServer` instance initiates the server.

### Using Typed Requests and Responses

`TypedServer` supports typed requests and responses, making API development more robust and maintainable. Define your request and response types, and use them to type-check incoming requests and their responses.

First, define the types:

```typescript
// Define a request type
interface MyCustomRequest {
  userId: string;
}

// Define a response type
interface MyCustomResponse {
  userName: string;
}
```

Next, set up a route to handle requests using these types:

```typescript
import { TypedRouter, TypedHandler } from '@api.global/typedrequest';

// Instantiate a TypedRouter
const typedRouter = new TypedRouter();

// Register a route with request and response types
typedRouter.addTypedHandler<MyCustomRequest, MyCustomResponse>(
  new TypedHandler('getUser', async (requestData) => {
    // Implement your logic here. For example, fetch user data from a database.
    const userData = { userName: 'John Doe' }; // Dummy implementation
    return { response: userData };
  })
);

// Bind the typed router to the server
typedServer.useTypedRouter(typedRouter);

// Now, the route is set up to handle requests with type checking
```

This example shows defining types for requests and responses, creating a `TypedRouter`, and adding a route with typed handling. This feature brings the benefits of TypeScript's static type checking to server-side logic, improving the development experience.

### Enabling SSL/TLS

To enable SSL/TLS, configure the `TypedServer` with the SSL options, including the paths to your SSL certificate and key files:

```typescript
const serverOptions = {
  port: 443,
  serveDir: 'public',
  watch: true,
  injectReload: true,
  cors: true,
  privateKey: fs.readFileSync('path/to/ssl/private.key'),
  publicKey: fs.readFileSync('path/to/ssl/certificate.crt')
};

const typedServer = new TypedServer(serverOptions);
startServer().catch(console.error);
```

Replace `'path/to/ssl/private.key'` and `'path/to/ssl/certificate.crt'` with the actual paths to your SSL key and certificate files. This setup ensures that your server communicates over HTTPS, encrypting the data transmitted between the client and the server.

### Conclusion

`@api.global/typedserver` offers a streamlined way to set up a web server with TypeScript, featuring static file serving, live reloading, typed request/response handling, and SSL support. This guide covers the basic usage, but `TypedServer` is highly configurable, catering to various hosting and development needs.
