This is the code repository for Hands-On RESTful Web Services with TypeScript 3, published by Packt.
Design and develop scalable RESTful APIs for your applications
In the world of web development, leveraging data is the key to developing comprehensive applications, and RESTful APIs help you to achieve this systematically. This book will guide you in designing and developing web services with the power of TypeScript 3 and Node.js. You'll design REST APIs using best practices for request handling, validation, authentication, and authorization. You'll also understand how to enhance the capabilities of your APIs with ODMs, databases, models and views, as well as asynchronous callbacks. This book will guide you in securing your environment by testing your services and initiating test automation with different testing approaches. Furthermore, you'll get to grips with developing secure, testable, and more efficient code, and be able to scale and deploy TypeScript 3 and Node.js-powered RESTful APIs on cloud platforms such as the Google Cloud Platform. Finally, the book will help you explore microservices and give you an overview of what GraphQL can allow you to do.
This book covers the following exciting features: Explore various methods to plan your services in a scalable way Understand how to handle different request types and the response status code Get to grips with securing web services Delve into error handling and logging your web services for improved debugging Uncover the microservices architecture and GraphQL Create automated CI/CD pipelines for release and deployment strategies
