About
This is a NodeJS-based quickstart project that utilizes Express.js, TypeScript, Redis, and Lando. The repository aims to provide a starting point for small projects that require a simple API for accessing a Redis database.
The API exposes a single endpoint (/v1/page/[slug]/count) that allows you to increment a counter for a specific slug. The count expires after 4 hours, making it ideal for generating basic trending statistics for your pages.
The project uses Lando for easy local development, which can be started with a single command - 'lando start'.
Express.js is implemented using TypeScript and a file-based routing system, which means that adding new routes is as simple as adding a new file to the src/routes directory. The file name is used as the route name, and the file contents serve as the route handler - similar to popular frameworks like Next.js.
