This is a starter template/boilerplate for a TypeScript Node.js REST API using Express, Prisma and Express-validator.
Clone this repository, create an .env file and copy the contents from .env.example. Create a new MySQL-database and change the database-name in DATABASE_URL after the last slash to the name of your database.
Don't forget to change the DEBUG prefix in package.json to your own project name.
Run npm install to install all packages and then start the server using npm run dev.
Run npm run build to transpile TypeScript into JavaScript. This will create a build folder with the transpiled code, which can be run using npm start. The build folder is ignored by git. The script also runs npx prisma migrate deploy to deploy the database schema to the database, as well as npx prisma db seed to seed the database with some initial data (if you have any seed data in prisma/seed.ts).
