phero VS Express

That's one of the reasons that drove me to create Phero: https://phero.dev

I’m one of the authors of Phero. It’s goal is similar to tRPC: fullstack typesafety between servers and clients.

One difference is syntax: Phero leverages the TS compiler api to generate parsers for your backend functions. It will parse input and output or your api, automatically, based on the types you define for your functions. It will generate a declaration file of your api and generate an RPC style client SDK for your frontend. Another difference is that it aims to be more batteries includes.

Shameless plug: you could also use https://phero.dev

Long story short: when fetching data, you should be validating the data, before casting it to a type you’re expecting it to be. There are a lot of different approaches for this, but being the go-author my favorite would be Phero (https://phero.dev). With this, you can build your API in typescript as well, automatically generate a client for your frontend to call the API. Phero will make sure all data is correct in runtime, automatically.

For those looking for an alternative: Definitely check out https://phero.dev. As the co-creator I’m totally biased of course, but thanks to its build-step IDE-performance is great 😊👍

What about Phero? https://phero.dev

Can we add Phero to the list? :) https://github.com/phero-hq/phero

You can use Phero. You can use it on your backend and frontend. It basically created a typed API from your backend afaik

Express: A lightweight framework for building web applications.

Now, we will create API using expressjs. When we created application using --ssr flag, the Angular CLI already took care of installing expressjs for us.

First, we import express. The Express framework allows us to create routes that will respond to webhook POST requests and serve an HTML file when a GET request is made to the root of the site.

Basic Knowledge of Express

Express.js Documentation

In the JavaScript ecosystem, there are guides for enabling SAML-based enterprise single sign-on in AdonisJS, Express.js, Next.js, Remix, and React with an Express.js backend.

Starting off strong with Express.js, the cool kid on the block for building web apps. It's lightweight, flexible, and doesn't throw a tantrum when you ask it to scale. With Express, you can handle HTTP requests like a pro, play around with middleware, set up routes without breaking a sweat, and render views that make your app look stunning. Big names like Netflix and Uber are already on board, and if it's good enough for them, it's definitely worth a peek.

Now we can install both Express and Socket.io libraries:
