my-server

Sample server proof of concept (POC) that handles basic HTTP request. The source code is written in TypeScript with Express framework.

The POC is hosted on Heroku at https://my-server-snoidetx-poc.herokuapp.com.

Usage

1. Clone the repository to a local path.
2. If npm is installed, run npm install. Otherwise, install npm first by running npm install -g npm.
3. Run nps start. The server will be deployed and available on https://localhost:1202/.
4. This server also supports nodemon, concurrently and pm2 packages. See their websites for commands to run.

Supported Requests

1. GET from /. The server will send a Hello world! as HTML.
2. GET from /user with query on username. The server will return a JSON object containing a message. For example, GET BASE/user?username=johndoe returns {"message":"Hello stranger johndoe"}.
3. POST to /create-user with a JSON string as body. The JSON string needs to contain a parameter username. For example, POST BASE/create-user with {"username": "John Doe", "data": "hello"} returns {"message": "Hi John Doe, your request is successful."}.
