Server app setup

The server app is nothing more than a normal TypeScript project built on top of node:http.

It contains a single src folder with the main entry point main.ts. The only configuration file necessary at this point is tsconfig.json.

You can generate a tsconfig.json file using TSConfig Guide.

The server is executed using tsx:

tsx allows running TypeScript files directly with nodejs.

pnpm add -D tsx

The initial scripts configuration in package.json contains the typecheck command and dev to execute tsx in watch mode:

"scripts": {
  "dev": "tsx watch src/main.ts",
  "typecheck": "tsc"
}
