Introduction

ExpressoTS offers a refined layer over Express.js, enhancing server-side TypeScript application development. It blends the robustness of Express.js with advanced TypeScript features, streamlining the creation of scalable, maintainable, and readable applications.

Philosophy​

Designed for efficiency, ExpressoTS simplifies server-side development. It reduces boilerplate, focusing on code clarity and structure. The framework's flexibility, through a comprehensive Dependency Injection system, supports seamless integration of custom features with predefined scopes (Transient, Scoped, Singleton), fostering modular and decoupled design. Whether for a straightforward API or an intricate enterprise system, ExpressoTS accelerates development, ensuring timely, within-budget delivery of high-quality applications.
