Manuel Rauber (Thinktecture) at iJS 2017: 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 Manuel Rauber does lots of live coding to show you how to build modern and light-weight Web APIs based on Node.js with TypeScript and connect them to a database using an ORM called TypeORM. A few lines of code are needed to create a “next generation” Web API.
