Install your Node dependencies

$ yarn install
# == OR ==
$ npm install

Ensure that your application has a .env file. This should happen automatically with yarn install or npm install. If not, copy .env.example to .env.

$ npm start

The development mode uses ts-node (enabling live debugging), which the author does not guarantee is prepared for production.

Build the Node-compliant code

$ npm run build

Built files will be placed in /dist.

Modify your .env file to "production" mode

# .env
NODE_ENV=production
PORT=8080

Run the server

$ npm start
