In the root directory of this code, use the following commands: npm install - it will install your project dependencies npm run ts - whenever you change in your server side typescript code it will watch and compile it npm run start - it will create build and run server from created build directory npm run server - run server from build directory

Note: You need to open port 4000 from the server configurations to make it avaiable for demo-dev server. if your want to change your server port you can set it through env variable but you need to open the same port from your server config too:

Default dev ports:

- '4000'

with the following lines:

Default production port:

- '4001`

How to set Envrionment Variable:

Steps to set Custom NODE_ENV (development/production): Set environment variable NODE_ENV for MongoDB custom path Cammand: export NODE_ENV=<NODE-ENV> (Set Node Environment) To check/verify your environment variable NODE_ENV value, use command: echo ${NODE_ENV}

Steps to set Custom mongodb connection string: Set environment variable MONGO_URI for MongoDB custom path Cammand: export MONGO_URI=<MONGO-URI> (Connection string to connect with db) To check/verify your environment variable MONGO_URI value, use command: echo ${MONGO_URI}

This is all we need to deploy this demo node-with-typescript-express application. If anyone wants any further instruction can contact me through email. Thank you
