Modern Web APIs with Node.js & TypeScript

Full-Stack-Development! Modern frontends are using Single-Page Applications like Angular or React communicating with some light-weight Web APIs in the background. Thanks to Node.js we can speak one language in both worlds: JavaScript … or even TypeScript! Within this session we want to take a look at building modern and light-weight Web APIs based on Node.js with TypeScript and connect to a database using an ORM called SequelizeJS. A few lines of code are needed to create a “next generation” Web API.

4. Modern Web APIs with Node.js & TypeScript FrankenJS Web API Architecture • Lightweight service-based architecture • Functional services with dedicated interface • Aggregates other services like database or file system • (JSON-based) HTTPS Web APIs • Application push services via WebSocket • Socket.io • SignalR HTTP HTTPS WebSocket Service A Service B Service C Web APIs (ASP.NET, Node.js, …) AuthN & AuthZ Client
5. • Server-side JavaScript powered by Chrome’s V8 JavaScript engine • Asynchronous, event-driven I/O API • Cross-platform: Linux, macOS, Windows • ECMAScript 6 & 7 features • Additional tooling power via TypeScript • Enterprise proven: Netflix, Paypal, Groupon, Walmart Modern Web APIs with Node.js & TypeScript FrankenJS Node.js & TypeScript
