Introduction

Easily bootstrap your Typescript project with NodeJS + Express + Sequelize ORM. ❤️

Installation

Run one of the command below

npm install
npm install -g yarn
yarn

The build tasks use Gulp tasks runner. Typescript is transpiled to Javascript in the /build directory. This sample use PostgreSQL database but you can easily change it and use your favorite relational database (npm or yarn command) :

npm install --save mysql // For both mysql and mariadb dialects
npm install --save sqlite3
npm install --save tedious // MSSQL

Configure your database

Sequelize configuration and entities can be found in /Src/sqlz directory.

Directory Description
config Your database configuration.
migrations Your database migrations scripts. Keep this files in Javascript and run sequelize db:migrate to migrate your database schema.
models Sequelize entities.

First, define your database schema in config/config.json file. Use Sequelize CLI to initialize your database.

In models/ directory, the index.ts file define the DbConnection interface. When you create a new Sequelize entity, add its reference in this interface to fully use Typescript's superpower !

Run the project

npm start

Your web server is now exposed on http://localhost:3000

GET /api/languages

curl -X GET -H 'Content-Type: application/json' http://localhost:3000/api/languages

POST /api/languages

curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"label":"French","name":"fr"}' http://localhost:3000/api/languages

GET /api/appusers

curl -X GET -H 'Content-Type: application/json' http://localhost:3000/api/appusers

POST /api/appusers

curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"email":"[email protected]","pwd":"something"}' http://localhost:3000/api/appusers

Build

npm run build

Lint your code before you commit!

In a collaborative project, it's always a pain when you have to work on files not correctly formatted. Now before each commit, yout typescript files are linted based on your tsconfig.json > .editorconfig > tslint.json files.

λ git commit -m "Example precommit"

> husky - npm run -s precommit

By the way you can also run the command with a npm script

npm run prettify

Debug with Typescript and VSCode

Add breakpoints to your Typescript source code and launch in VSCode the "Debug Typescript" task. When you'll access to an endpoint, you will be able to debug directly in your Typescript's files.
