How To Use TypeScript With Express & Node

[@YoungUn]

This video is everything a KZbin video should be. It throws some shade at other KZbinrs, features a bird crashing into your window, and maintains an overall relaxed demeanor. Good job.

[@akramkamolov6961]

He is actually a hilarious teacher and in the beginning he is lowkey critisizing other youtubers 😂 love that

[@nicholasmaniccia1005]

There is something about services like restaurants and private teachers that have an aversion to doing the silly dumb things that make large crowds think something is good but have no effect on the service, they are usually the people who pour time into the actually important details and therefore become hidden gems.

[@arsnakehert]

I don't think he's criticizing other KZbinrs so much as he's lamenting the reality of KZbin where those silly-looking thumbnails simply tend to get more views

[@DruSerkes]

Between the bird in the window, and the shade for other youtubers, you almost can overlook the fact that Colt consistently cranks out the best instruction on KZbin for this stuff

[@ssumit196]

My Brain cells multiply automatically, while hearing Colt's voice.

[@jaybarls]

Great tutorial as always, makes combining these technologies really approachable! Loved the satire of YT thumbnails too :p Just a note though for Windows users having trouble with the "dev" script (who haven't yet reached that part of the video where Colt covers this - I like to code along and pause/ensure everything works as expected!) - you won't be able to run both nodemon and tsc -w concurrently with just the '&' operator. Instead you can install a library like concurrently: npm install -D concurrently And then update your package.json script like so: "dev": "concurrently \"tsc -w\" \"nodemon dist/index.js\"" Now running with 'npm run dev' will start your server as expected, as well as TS in watch mode.

[@EpistemicFomo]

I used your bootcamp on Udemy to learn web development and now came across this video here! Amazing explanation as always and the best teacher ever! Thank you :)

[@pim8268]

This is an outstanding teacher. I graduated from his Bootcamp on Springboard. I like that he's seams humble. Always putting himself in the shoes of his students.

[@williamowusu7778]

Thanks a lot. I am coming from watching your express js course and I can say I have really learnt a lot.

[@h88k988]

Really appreciate going over the nuts and bolts of setting up TypeScript. It's always useful to see when each piece (or package) needs to by added, along with an explanation of why. Thanks for the video. Keep them coming.

[@creemcheem]

This is extremely helpful, thanks!! Not enough channels are this concise. Here's a comment for the algorithm.

[@mackenmd]

I love these basic plumbing videos, Colt! Thank you very much and good luck to you.

[@Cpt_Chirp]

For windows users having trouble with the dev command (tsc -w & nodemon dist/index.js) you can instead set up your nodemon.json file in your root directory and define it like this: { "watch": ["src/"], "ext": "ts", "ignore": [], "exec": "tsc && node dist/index.js" } then just set your dev or server command or scripts to be "scripts": { "dev": "nodemon" } and nodemon will automatically watch those files and recompile them before relaunching your server. (You will need to move your index file into the src directory with my setup.)

[@borislavvucicevic6667]

Thank you bro!

[@olalekanbello6386]

Thanks so much. It helped.

[@pajosko4941]

Colt you just saved my day. I am currently working on my application of my bachelor thesis and I could not get it to work. Thanks Colt, you really helped me!

[@developerpranav]

Thanks a lot! I am new to typescript, and was struggling for a while to set it up with Express. I got it running within minitues thanks to your video

[@gregmaxedon]

All the info I needed to start developing a Node.js server with Typescript. Thank you!

[@ROVAKAN]

very good video . instead of just writing down configrations explaining why we need what. very informative

[@sajaljaiswal1659]

Love your teaching style! Best teacher for development.

[@andresvodopivec5950]

Super simple and precise explanation. As a newby, you got me onboard in 17 min. Thanks!

[@The14Some1]

11:38 to make it cross-platform you can prefix both commands with "start /b" command. This would run them concurrently without requiring to install additional packages and this would work flawlessly for windows/unix.

[@jiix4723]

Currently on JS in your bootcamp! Youre a great teacher and your humor is fantastic

[@noormuhammad888]

Can you share link of his bootcamp?

[@balanepalaiyathane9714]

Very nice and informative every new leaners has enough information from your tutorials, thanks again

[@JeremiahPeoples]

Huge fan, thanks for teaching me how to code 🙏🏾

[@serialchiller4124]

Great content overall! You know you're great instructor when you dont waste a lot of time explaining. Dude not even try, but the information is really clear.

[@pnworks9186]

I am almost finished your TypeScript course sir

[@dominicpatrick6578]

Being only a few years in programming, I've practiced a few languages Vite, Typescript and Tailwinds is the avenues I'm going on. I had a problem with the npx tsc creating the dist folder, after researching I found placing a empty ts file in the directory worked! YES!!

[@999memeworld]

You are the best teacher i ever seen sir

[@vytasgavelis]

Thank you 😄 . Setting up nodejs project for the first time for production use and got overwhelmed at first from all the possible config options...

[@limus_]

Some people are teachers by nature, very helpful video, thank you so much.

[@pim8268]

Love this guy! Great teacher, always trying to make it simple.

[@jellyfish1772]

An amazing teacher, an even better human being❤️

[@sanjayguwaju]

It's Awesome Thumbnail Colt. I am attracted with it ☺.

[@gendash]

An awesome video! Well explained, brief and to the point. Many thanks Colt!

[@123mark132]

You can skip the whole dist folder and npx tsc process if you use ts-node. Then you can just use nodemon index

[@atifulislamasif7893]

Your VDOs are very helpful.

[@UAng-ro9kt]

You saved my day! Soooooo much helpful.

[@juliohintze595]

A light themed terminal? Are you insane? Also, good content. Keep it coming!

[@diveshkumar3823]

dude you are life savior

[@anox8633]

glad you post more often on youtube

[@sakshamyadav3203]

dev script does not work for me, tsc -w holds the terminal and until I stop it nodemon does not start, is it because of newer version of node or am I doing something wrong? Please help!

[@virtualreality3513]

same for me. Did you find any solution to it ?

[@sakshamyadav3203]

@@virtualreality3513 I found a work around. 1. Install nodemon and ts-node 2. create a nodemon.json in root directory with following config: { "watch": ["src"], "ext": "ts,json", "ignore": ["src/**/*.spec.ts"], "exec": "npx ts-node --esm ./src/index.ts" } 3. Run 'nodemon' cmd or 'npx nodemon' if not installed globally

*ON WINDOWS* 1. npm install --save-dev concurrently 2. add in package.json: "scripts": { "build": "tsc", "start": "node dist/index.js", "watch": "tsc -w", "nodemon": "nodemon dist/index.js", "dev": "concurrently npm:watch npm:nodemon" } 3. npm run dev

Hi, This is the first time I am seeing you in youtube. Thanks for your javascript data structure code on udemy. It was great. Andyway, Can you please increase the sound a bit better? the sound is a bit low even in when I am increased my sound to full. Anyway, welcome to youtube Sir.

thank you for this! one question: how would i debug the backend in this setup usign vs code?

[@FelicianoGC]

Hi, Colt! I'm a big fan from your content on Udemy and am currently struggling with Scope as in will I ever be ready to call myself a developer. Can you maybe someday talk about "What makes a proficient developer?"😬 Thanks for your videos!

[@kennedydre8074]

Hi thank you for the video, so you don’t use ts-node at all? Cos I’ve been having a horrible time trying to make ts-node work when I have my module and module-resolution set to NodeNext on my tsconfig.json file.

Newbie question: Do I need to use npx if TypeScript is installed as a dev dependency? Thanks!

If I don't hear "chicken" in the video, then it's not from Colt Steele 😄. He's really great at teaching.

[@MailsonWei]

how do i combine it with front end framework like angular, react and vue? like a tech stack. where i have nodejs as backend and frontend using angular/react or vue
