Setting up a modern Express API with TypeScript, Jest, ESLint, and Prettier is made easy with a quick guide.
The guide covers initializing the project, installing necessary dependencies like Express, TypeScript, Jest, Supertest, nodemon, ts-jest, ts-node, and setting up TypeScript configuration.
It also includes creating the Express app, setting up testing with Jest, adding tests for app.ts and user routes, updating package.json scripts, and configuring ESLint and Prettier for auto formatting and linting.
By following the guide, developers can easily set up a strongly typed Express API, implement testing, and automate formatting and linting processes to streamline the development workflow.
