So yesterday I get started with the basics of TypeScript. Today I wanted to Setup a Simple Node JS project with typescript.
So the project concept is very simple. I have a superhero.json file in the disk. Whenever we start the server it will load the file and store it as an array. When the user makes a request it will randomly pick one superhero and return it.
It was pretty fun and interesting. Hereafter I think I should ts for all my node projects.

import express, { Request, Response, Application } from 'express'; import fs from 'fs'; const app: Application = express(); const data: string = fs.readFileSync('./data/super_hero.json').toString(); const SuperHeroData: any = JSON.parse(data); app.get('/', function (req: Request, res: Response) { const randomSuperHero = SuperHeroData[Math.floor(Math.random() * SuperHeroData.length)]; res.json(randomSuperHero); }); app.listen(3000, function () { console.log('App is listening on port 3000!'); });
