import "reflect-metadata";
import { resty, Controller, Get } from "@restyjs/core";
@Controller("/hello")
class HelloController {
@Get("/")
index() {
return { message: "Hello World" };
}
}
const app = resty({
controllers: [HelloController],
});
app.listen(3000, () => {
console.log("Server started on http://localhost:3000");
});
import { resty, Controller, Get } from "@restyjs/core";
@Controller("/hello")
class HelloController {
@Get("/")
index() {
return { message: "Hello World" };
}
}
const app = resty({
controllers: [HelloController],
});
app.listen(3000, () => {
console.log("Server started on http://localhost:3000");
