Initialization

The configuration is splitted in several files:

• config/app/env.ts
• config/app/helmet.ts
• config/packages/*.ts
• config/routes/*.ts

The initialization is made in the expressLayerConfiguration.ts at the root of the project:

import type {
  ExpressLayer,
  ExpressLayerOptions,
} from "@creative-web-solution/express-layer";
import path from "path";
import { envSchema } from "./config/app/env";
import HELMET_CONF from "./config/app/helmet";
import routes from "./config/routes/routes";
import parameters from "./config/app/parameters";
import packages from "./config/packages";

export const expressLayerConfiguration: ExpressLayerOptions = {
  parameters,
  packagesConfiguration: packages,
  projectRoot: path.resolve(__dirname, ".."),
  envSchema,
  helmetConfiguration: HELMET_CONF,
  registerRoutes: async (expressLayer: ExpressLayer) => {
    return routes(expressLayer);
  },
  registerPlugins: async (expressLayer: ExpressLayer) => {
    return [
      // Add plugins here
    ];
  },
};
