DISCLAIMER

This is NOT a full in depth tutorial on Express JS. It is only designed to walk you through the setup process of installing TypeScript, getting it up and running with Express, and show you examples of type annotating arguments. I have also added other examples with Unit Testing & Integration testing with Jest and ts-jest.

I highly recommend you use this as a way to learn how to setup a TypeScript project for Express, and then slowly migrate over your code. Many of the concepts covered in my Express JS Full Course can easily be translated over once you get the idea of what to type annotate.
