# @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.
