Overview of this book

In the world of web development, leveraging data is the key to developing comprehensive applications, and RESTful APIs help you to achieve this systematically. This book will guide you in designing and developing web services with the power of TypeScript 3 and Node.js. You'll design REST APIs using best practices for request handling, validation, authentication, and authorization. You'll also understand how to enhance the capabilities of your APIs with ODMs, databases, models and views, as well as asynchronous callbacks. This book will guide you in securing your environment by testing your services and initiating test automation with different testing approaches. Furthermore, you'll get to grips with developing secure, testable, and more efficient code, and be able to scale and deploy TypeScript 3 and Node.js-powered RESTful APIs on cloud platforms such as the Google Cloud Platform. Finally, the book will help you explore microservices and give you an overview of what GraphQL can allow you to do. By the end of this book, you will be able to use RESTful web services to create your APIs for mobile and web apps and other platforms.

  1. An error handler is used to catch errors in an application, and logging is a strategy used to grab pieces of information throughout runtimes, such as errors or relevant information.
  2. You can define them all at the end of the app.use definition, as follows:
import * as bodyParser from 'body-parser'
import * as express from 'express'
import * as mongoose from 'mongoose'
import { APIRoute } from '../src/routes/api'
import { OrderRoute } from '../src/routes/order'
import { UserRoute } from '../src/routes/user'
import * as errorHandler from '../src/utility/errorHandler'

class App {
public app: express.Application
public userRoutes: UserRoute = new UserRoute()
public apiRoutes: APIRoute = new APIRoute()
public orderRoutes: OrderRoute = new OrderRoute()
public mongoUrl: string = 'mongodb://localhost...
