@types/express-serve-static-core

What is @types/express-serve-static-core?

The @types/express-serve-static-core package contains TypeScript type definitions for the core components of the Express web application framework. It allows developers to use TypeScript with Express, providing type checking and IntelliSense support for Express's API.

What are @types/express-serve-static-core's main functionalities?

Request Typing

Provides type definitions for the request object, allowing for better request handling with typed query parameters, body, etc.

{"import { Request, Response } from 'express';
function handleRequest(req: Request, res: Response) {
  const username: string = req.query.username;
  res.send(`Hello, ${username}!`);
}"}

Response Typing

Provides type definitions for the response object, enabling typed methods for sending responses like JSON, status codes, etc.

{"import { Request, Response } from 'express';
function handleRequest(req: Request, res: Response) {
  res.status(200).json({ message: 'Success' });
}"}

Middleware Typing

Provides type definitions for middleware functions, allowing for typed next functions and error handling.

{"import { Request, Response, NextFunction } from 'express';
const myMiddleware = (req: Request, res: Response, next: NextFunction) => {
  console.log('Middleware called');
  next();
};
}"}

Router Typing

Provides type definitions for the router object, enabling typed route creation and handling.

{"import { Router } from 'express';
const router = Router();
router.get('/', (req, res) => res.send('Home Page'));
router.post('/submit', (req, res) => res.status(200).send('Submitted'));
}"}

This package provides TypeScript definitions for Koa, a web framework similar to Express. It offers a different middleware stack approach and is designed to be a smaller, more expressive, and more robust foundation for web applications and APIs.

@types/hapi__hapi

This package contains type definitions for hapi, a rich framework for building applications and services. Hapi is similar to Express but has a different plugin architecture and built-in features like input validation, caching, authentication, and more.

@types/restify

This package includes TypeScript definitions for Restify, a Node.js web service framework optimized for building semantically correct RESTful web services ready for production use at scale. Restify is similar to Express but is more focused on API creation.
