Starter app for TEN stack: TypeScript + Express + Node.js

Used technologies:

• Node.JS + Cluster
• TypeScript
• Express
• SCSS

How to install

npm install

Start application in development mode

npm run start

Start application in production mode

npm run start-prod

Run tests

Run client Storybook tests: npm run storybook
Run server tests: npm run test-server

Create minimised production dependencies

npm run build-prod

To automatically format code

npm run format-code

The best way to develop

Start development server and start rebuilding client files on change with:
npm run start

Now open your app in a browser and start developing. The app will automatically refresh on any changes.

To deploy to production

1. Build production client files with: npm run build-prod
2. Start the app in production mode with: npm run start-prod. You can for example use PM2, in order to run it continuously.

Architecture

Both client and server consist of modular structure. That means certain folder order:

src/  
├── client/  
│   ├── app/  
│   └── elements/  
│   
└── server/  
    ├── app/  
    └── elements/  

Folders functions:
app - Consist of main application, server or client. It basically wires all elements together.
elements - Independent elements. It means that they don't depend on any other elements or application source code or assets. They can only depend on libraries used by project. It makes them independent from this project, which means that they can be reused in other applications easily.
