EasyScripts

A collection of scripts to automate repetitive tasks, such as setting up a fully containerized TypeScript-based Express server with minimal effort.

Scripts

express_initializer_ts

• Initializes a new express server with typescript configured in a docker container
• The system need not have node.js installed as everything is done inside a container
• Spins up a temporary container to initialize basic project and install dependencies
• Also creates dockerfile and docker-compose.yml file for later part

Usage

1. Run the initializer script:

./express_initializer.sh <project-name>

• project_name : should be replaced by the appropriate name for your project

2. Run Docker Compose

docker compose up

• This will automatically build the image if image not found

3. Edit the code files locally and changes will be reflected
