express-ts

Simple TS API exposing a single endpoint.

Overview

This is an API empowered by Express written in TypeScript, exposing a single endpoint. It could have a safe list of URLs for CORS and use helmet to add basic security features. The POST request body is validated using yup, and getResponse should yield different errors depending on its cause.
