node-api

routup-node-api

A minimal JSON API starter built with routup on Node.js.

What's inside

• routup for routing
• @routup/body for JSON / urlencoded body parsing
• tsx for zero-config TypeScript execution
• Two example routes: GET /health and POST /echo

Use this template

npx degit routup/templates/node-api my-app
cd my-app
npm install
npm run dev

The server listens on port 3000 (override with PORT=8080).

Try it

curl http://localhost:3000/health
# -> {"status":"ok"}

curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/echo \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{"hello":"world"}'
# -> {"received":{"hello":"world"}}
